Sounds like ol' L. Ron was using automatic writing. Sort of like an Ouija board in reverse. You take up a pen and your hand writes what something else wants you write. Just a good example of what can happen when you let somebody else make up your mind for you.

Sounds like Ronny was a Genius who realized a great way to be remembered long after your dead is to found a religion.

I've been trying to get thru a translation of the Koran by an Iraqi.

GOOD GRIEF CHARLIE BROWN!!!

I'm all for the freedom of anyone to believe what they want or be as stupid as they want to be, but what alot of narrow minded beliefs.
I might be condemned for saying this, but the last time I read anything as narrow in it's views it was entitled "Mein Kampf".

Almost every paragraph declares that the unbelievers are going straight to hell.
I work with a Muslim who is one of the nicest guys I ever met in my life and find it hard to believe any or all Muslims are the kooks that are spelled out not only in the Koran but in Western MSM.

I agree with the logic that something is not quite right with a religion developed by a science fiction writer.

Actually, that isn't what I meant to infer. Personally I think I might prefer a religion constructed by a science fiction writer. I'd like to find how Jesus would handle Klingons, Romulans and Ferrengi.

Actually, I'm starting to listen to "Conversations With God." I saw the movie, was blown away, went on eBay that afternoon and bought a copy of the underlying book. The author was at a low point in his life. One day he decided to write a letter to God. When he'd finished he went to put down the pen and found that his hand wanted to write. He let it and began to have a conversation with God.

Think of God being played by Marlon Brando in the Godfather, Part I. The quite, dark room. Sunlight cut off by the shades. The music plays quietly in the backround.

"So let me get this straight. I give you two hands. I give you two feet. I give you brain, with which you can figure anything out. I give you this nice planet to share and enjoy. I give you free will. I do not interfere with your personal choices, regardless of what I may personally think of those choices. But still, all of this is not good enough for you. You come whinning to me for more. Yet when I ask you to do little things for me: Like help your fellow man out, to be kind, to be charitable, to refrain from lying, to remember the sabbath and keep it holy, do you do any of these things? No, you do not. Do you come here and beg my forgivenenss and offer to do these things from now on? No, you do not. Do you show me any respect? No. And still you got the nerve to come here with your hat in your hand begging for scraps prepared by man when I, as your God, have prepared a feast for your enjoyment that you disrespect and ignore. How am I to respond to this lack of respect?"

Waiting with baited(bated?)(batted?)(battered?) breath. Mr. Dude loves comedy and loves to laugh. Write faster. I need a good laugh.
