When truely ORGANIZED RELIGION decides they’re up against competition, it’s “Remember the inquisition!” What’s surprising is that Western organized religion doesn’t know it is in a to-the-death struggle with islam, the religion of SLAVERY. The trial lawyers should also realize that sharia (or whatever the hell it is) would behead ALL of them, mucho presto BINGO.
I am not exactly sure what you are talking about (”to-the-death struggle”), but, um, whenever I peak at the last page of my favorite book, the Bible, we (the God-fearing Christians) still win. I am glad He is in control.
I put “organized religion” slightly higher than “organized crime.” Hubbard was one in a long line of religious entrepreneurs that have come along over the past few thousand years.
