Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

More Hubbard "TRUTH":

"Historical note: The whole christian movement is based on the victim
computation of the overt act-motivator sequence. They won by appealing to
victims. We can win by converting victims. Christianity succeeded by making
people into victims. We can succeed by making victims into people. It's
time the inversion turned, anyway.

(From HCO Bulletin 18 July 1959, Technically Speaking)

Any historian out there who would like to share his views on the above? Did
christianity really grow as it did because of the "victim" aspect?
