: Hi Jason, just want to tell you first that I adore you. I think you're the best actor out there and Tom Cruise should be added adjacent to YOUR name in any film. Anyhow I was wondering if you could give me a few basic facts about Scientololgy. I know it was started by Ron L. Hubbard but that's about it. I don't see my self converting but I'm always interested in other religion's and people's philosophies. Also, if you are in need of good reading material, I recommend The Celestine Prophecy. I forget who the author is but it shouldn't be hard to find. It's a nonfiction book about spirituality but oddly enough NOT religion. It also kind of relates to some theories Kevin put out in Dogma. Such as that no religion has gotten it right yet, and that it doesn't really matter what you call God, Buddha, Ra, whatever, it's more a matter of faith. But believe it or not it's not at all religious, just spiritual. Anyhow, if you have a chance to read a book this year, I strongly recommend this one, I haven't met anyone of any religion who has read this book and not had their ideas expanded because of it.

Don't waste your time. Read "Masters of Atlantis" by Charles Portis. Its insights are much deeper.
