Now, you have to understand, I am neither a scientologist nor a supporter of same by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I'm always extremely disappointed in a celebrity when I find out they're a scientologist (you'd think people like Beck would know better). Even the word "scientology" bothers me. It's like some stupid person trying to say the word "science" and botching it horribly...the suffix "-ology" means "the study of," so, based off of that, scientology would be the study of...science? I dunno, it makes little sense to me. And the creation story and methods for becoming a higher-up are simply ridiculous. It sounds like science fiction. In fact, it IS science fiction, based on its creator's credentials.
But, as the actual question already implies, I am playing devil's advocate for just a moment, and a teacher of mine brought up a really good point: what if it turned out to be right?
