Im curious. What is the role of Ron Hubbard in the view of the church?

 Is Ron     o  The Pope of Scientology?
            o  The Jesus Christ of Scientology?
            o  The Buddah of Scientology?
            o  The Mohammad of Scientology?
            o  The Haille Selasse (Please forgive the spelling) of 
               Scientology?
            o  The Moses of Scientology?
            o  The Shiva of Scientology?
            o  The Ra of Scientology?
            o  The Asimov of Scientology?
            o  The Mao of Scientology?
            o  The Khomeni of Scientology?

    In a country where our elected leader was a second rate movie actor who
believed trees caused pollution, 
we shouldnt be shocked that a science fiction writer can found a 
successful religion. Every religion gets started by someone who at the 
time is a contemporary.

    However:

    In the immortal words of MY hero -- "When the going gets weird, the
weird turn pro." 

    Flame away. I cant take it anymore.

    Joe
