it is a contrived reasonless baseless meaningless belief system that has formed a religious following that includes many celebrities. just like all other religions really.
A former colleague of mine's hubby is a scientologist. When she met him he'd just parted with �7000 for the latest session of 'soul cleansing' which apparently you have to go through to achieve 'true enlightenment'.
Another brain washing religion/cult for all the lost souls out there! But I suppose, whatever makes a person happy, can't be criticised (probably spelt wrong) if their belief is not hurting another?
