Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

michelekramer asked himself this question on 4/23/2000:

Desertphiles, I was browsing through the Scientology link and noticed the "feature question of the day" -

"What could L. Ron Hubbard tell you that you wouldn't believe if he were alive today?"

I read your answer. Then I was curious as to your very short, one word answer (and why it got a five in rating when you didn't even specify a real answer). So I decided to click on your name to find out what makes you an expert in Scientology. And I am perplexed as to why, if you wouldn't "believe anything", waste your time with all of it, studying it, and even having a whole website on Scientology.

To me this doesn't make sense. Why would someone continue to put forth their precious time and efforts into something they don't "believe"? Maybe you should take a look at that. Why not put forth your time in something you might really enjoy doing, something that will fill your time, that will make you happy unless wasting your time on something that you don't like, does make you happy).

[Golly, that's a tough one, huh? I guess Scientologists have difficulty understanding the motivations of good people exposing the criminal actions and ideals of criminal organizations. The fact that the Scientology cult hurts people, has killed unknown numbers of people, and continues to rook the ignorant and gullible out of ever last dime doesn't seem to be a good enough reason to try to keep the crooks from hurting people, it looks like - flr]

Greg Churilov gave himself this response on 4/23/2000:

Well put, Michele. Although from all the self-proclaimed "experts" out here, Desertphile at least tends to attempt a little truth and objectivity... It is strange that someone would claim to be an expert on something he does not like nor believe in nor follow or study.

I personally don't like broccoli or brussel sprouts; but I doubt that makes me an expert on veggies... :-) best,

[What a profoundly insane answer. Very few "veggies" deliberately set out to hurt, kill, brainwash, and extort every last penny out of as many people as they can get their hands on - flr]
