L Ron once said if you really wanted to make money you should start up a religion.
Then he started a religion... and made a load of money... started believing his own lies... when mad with power... thought the CIA and the IRS were out to get him and set sea on a big boat forever so that they couldn't get him.
To advance in scientology you have to buy the deeper secrets. As these secrets are revealed its like bad science fiction from a bad science fiction novelist. Aliens n stuff. Its a lot like a pyramid scheme except its religious secrets you sell not goods.
Is a con truly a religion? Is it simply a matter of scale?
