The two "religions" have striking similarities.......


Not the least being the level to which a member must comply with and defend the dogmas.

Brunch, does it make it worse?
What if President Pantload said he liked it for it's entertainment value, would (that) make it better?

er... yes surely it does? If he took the text seriously then I agree that would be cause for worry but he said it was fun science fiction while pointing out that he didn't like the religion. Hubbard's books have been turned into films, partly of course because scientologists are behind them but also because they made an OK transition to screen.

sorry, bro, but i think both tribes of american politicians are full of vicious shitbirds and capitalist stooges so you can't play the "oh yeah well what about nobama rofl lol lmao *eyeroll*" game.

Oh boy, here's an L.Ron Hubbard fan. They even have the same first name.
How many flying saucers have you spotted up there in the last week?
Did I see you on t.v. at the Ron Paul rally?

No, just saw a bit of it and thought it was crap but I rarely watch sci-fi so not much of an expert on that. Anyway any sci-fi would surely compare poorly with Earth Girls Are Easy?

I never read any of Hubbard's work. Woundn't waste my time with all the great threads to read on CM but taste in art (or whatever you want to call it, "sh-art" for example) is surely a very subjective thing.

Must check it out for its comedic value so. IMHO there is something about books or films that are so bad they actually become good...

No, "L" is an initial not a name.

Now if Mitt likes "science fiction" then surely he's read; "Earth in the Balance" by..........Al Gore!
