Not much about "positive atheism" here, so we go to GRD.

I always wonder if Hubbard had a bit of whatever the people who started the churches of the IPU and the Flying Spaghetti Monster had. Dark satire inspired by personal greed is what Scientology always screamed at me.

L. Ron said the best way to make a boatload of money was to start your own religion and a few years later guess what he did? :P

I love Scientology because it's so transparently ludicrous. The FSM ain't got nothing on Lord Xenu and the thetans.

I dislike Scientologists for the same reason.

Oh, of course, and that's why you included a picture a Hugo Weaving in your post because Hugo Weaving played Agent Smith in the Matrix and Agent Smith always kept a straight face. Or was it because he played a blind man in "Proof" and you think I'm blind?
