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.

Anonymous asked this question on 4/27/2000:

Is it all based on one man's work?

Greg Churilov gave this incorrect answer on 4/28/2000:

Scientology is based on the Research and Discovery of one philosopher, L. Ron Hubbard. However, he openly credits over five thousand years of thinking men for leading him to his descoveries about the human mind and the human Spirit.

[That's a profound whopper. Hubbard's "research" consisted of drugging himself with psychotropic hallucinatory substances to the point where he experienced massive hallucinations that included auditory as well as visual components.

While stoned out of his mind he experienced a hallucination, for example, where he found himself almost getting run over by a locomotive while visiting Venus.

His "research" consisted of that and, of course, contriving ever more imaginable ways to bilk the ignorant and the gullible out of every last dime they could beg, borrow, or steal - flr]

Mr.Hubbard was greatly assisted by the thousands of Scientologists around the world who applied his principles and sent him feedback and questions over the years.

[And that's incorrect. Hubbard is this cult's mad messiah. The cultists are programmed to call him "Source." Anyone who questioned what Hubbard came up with was punished and given what the cult calls "ethics conditions." Hubbard and a small group of ringleaders worked up these bait-and-switch bunko scams and then everything came from the personality cult's mad messiah - flr]

Mr.Hubbard was also greatly aided by his admi who helped organize and administer the data.
