I don't think much of any religion started by a man who wrote terrible science fiction books.

Scientology is a cult in which people actually use other people's psychological weaknesses in order to get them to join ... and of course, give a generous amount of their salary.
L. Ron Hubbard wrote a book which inspired Scientology. Like with any religion, it all starts with nothing but a book !

you probably dont wanna hear my story too it cuz ur gonna think its bogus but it has to do with when the people who thought it up as a joke tried it and said it was a religion,their is a certain univeral force that made that many followers even after they said it was bogus and a lie.this is how i heard it from a close friend of mine who is into stuff like that but also people see movie stars practicing scientology so they figure maybe they should too.

Why do people listen to the advertisements on TV. Even though we know they aren't true, we still listen to and adore them. Why? Because people are idiots.

The same reason anyone practices any other religious teaching - it resonates with their belief system.

They believe what they're told. I think they're told things about L. Ron like he was a god or something.
