I hear this often, but I'm not sure if it's actually truthful or not.

Though when the founder of your church dies in prison on fraud charges...it becomes difficult to take them all that seriously.

Yes. There are certainly no religions in history that have had leaders prosecuted by the authorities of the time.

Don't get me wrong, I think Scientology is pretty nuts, but your post just struck me as somewhat silly.
