In regards to Scientology being a religion, well, we can at least say it's a cult, run by rich folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-63197275028671844972008-12-01T14:53:00.000-05:002008-12-01T14:53:00.000-05:00Repeat after me: SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION.Sor...Repeat after me: SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the caps, but it had to be said! Scientology is a for-profit corporation, not a religion. At "best" it is a cult, and that's not a good thing.

It's an enormous work by L. Ron Hubbard.

This kind of censorship seems quite unfounded and blatantly absurd.<BR/><BR/>Of course, controversy sells. Just knowing a book is being banned piques interest more than usual.

But when they went to the marketplace, they found that Amazon was the seller -- at quite the markup.<BR/><BR/>Just an FYI... I don't know the depth of the truth to the situation, but I do recall reading about it right on the publisher's site.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-56172969479115776822008-11-26T12:59:00.000-05:002008-11-26T12:59:00.000-05:00Please post a review (however short) when you actu...Please post a review (however short) when you actually get a chance to read this book.
