L.Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer who wrote it on a bet with Robert Heinlein. Heinlein had written a sci-fi called Stranger in a Strange Land, which developed a sort of cult following, and Hubbard bet he could do it for real.

The only thing remotely close to science in Scientology, is the fact that L. Ron Hubbard was a science-fiction author before he started that cult. And if you think Christianity is screwed up, look up Scientology on Wikipedia.

Scientology is actually a religion that was founded by a science fiction author! People buy into this alien procession stuff even knowing that the leader of the religion is a science FICTION writer!
How crazy is that?
There is nothing scientific about it, that name is just a marketing gimmick.

From the little I know, I don't think there is anything scientific about it at all... It's about as scientific as any other belief system.

very little
it requires just as much faith as any other "religion" and i do use that term loosely
and L. Ron Hubbard was quoted as saying before he even wrote Dianetics that it would be extremely easy to start a religion or something like that

As far as I know....nothing. I've heard it started as a mind control experiment and the creator liked it so much he just continued....

It's Sci-Fi. So it's actually Sciencefictionology...
