I've read Dianetics in my teenage years, which is more than enough. Plus the first couple of chapters of his "Dekology" (waterfront guard duty is boring). I've also read the super-classified, use-DMCA-to-get-it-off-the-Web, Thetan III briefing (or something like that) which is supposed to cause anyone who reads it without ten years and $750,000 of training to die of pneumonia.

I'm still alive, though I almost had a fatal ROTFLMAO at the Thetan III stuff. If my obit comes up with pneumonia in the next ten years or so, everybody go join the Church of Scientology and kiss your wallet goodbye.

From what I understand of both "religions", Scientology is what Discordianism could have become if it had fallen to the Dark Side. And that should frighten anybody on this board.

As far as the fiction goes, it was pretty bad. Way out ideas without any rhyme, reason, or coherence. It read like there was a good science fiction author inside the mind of L. Ron Hubbard, but said author kept getting interrupted by his channeling of Zippy the Pinhead.
