So, you're saying Scientology doesn't drain its devotees' bank accounts, filling their heads with the work of a third-rate sci-fi writer--one who invented a bunch of dreck with the announced purpose of ginning up a religion for his own financial enrichment? That the CoS doesn't alienate its more vulnerable members from their friends and families?

I am challenged to think of a more pernicious organization. Who else, save perhaps a handful of other religions, preys on the weak and gullible to such an extent while enjoying great tax advantages?
