Rick Rosner: So religions are going to react the same. There’s going to be a lot of backlash. There will be some religious folk who look for the good in it. Perhaps, they will refuse to see the changes as inherently bad. There may be the coming of new religions. That don’t suck. Scientology is a new religion that mostly sucks because it is super exploitative of its people. It is super dishonest in the way that it presents itself to society.
It does a lot of creepy gangster things. At the same time, people can read. Dianetics is a big book filled with bullshit. This was written by a guy that was paid by the word, a pulp fiction. But Hubbard tried to make a half-assed attempt to put some reasonable concepts from the social sciences into Dianetics.
