L Ron Hubbard wrote science fiction books, and dianetics. Somewhere along the way he went wacko and wrote the book of scientology.
Scientologists believe that God is an alien, and that they come from aliens.
Personally, I think L Ron Hubbard was an undiagnosed Schizo who got to a point in his life where he could not separate fact from fiction and started believing in his own mediocre science fiction writings. hehe.

The easy answer is that it's a very wealthy, ruthless cult.
A complete answer could fill volumes. You need to understand the history and career of L. Ron Hubbard, the origin of Dianetics, how Dianetics led to Scientology, how Scientology evolved, the stories of people who have left Scientology, why it costs so much to find out that the big secret of Scientology is nothing more than one of Hubbard's science fiction plots...
Check out Operation Clambake. It is a non-objective, anti-Scientology site that I highly recommend. You might want to start reading the FAQ page.

Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths

It's a profiteering gluttonous cult of people who believe that all emotional problems are caused by "Thetans."
Thetans are the ghosts of aliens that were killed by Overlord Xenu, an evil alien who is now sealed in a large mountain somewhere.
The cult was started by a science fiction novelist named L. Ron Hubbard, who was quoted in saying `You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.'
Really, I'm serious--I could go on and on, but it would be best if you researched it yourself.

i do no longer hate gays - surely. I hate MILITANT gays. those so rapid to label ME, a heterosexual, married guy as a redneck, homophobic imbecile. those that are indignant, abusive, loud-mouthed and too illiberal to have an clever communicate on why some human beings locate it puzzling to wrap there heads around 2 men or 2 women human beings expressing themselves sexually to one yet another whilst the very act is so unnatural to maximum. (i will guess that assertion merely pissed off countless homosexual human beings). ladies and men human beings compliment one yet another so of course. A yin/yang pass of womanly gentility and masculinity. men, via nature weren't designed to sexually attraction to one yet another or we'd disappear as a species. pass forward and have butt intercourse, hug and kiss like a guy and a girl, yet i would be damned if there is something incorrect with ME for no longer information it.
