Abstract or Introduction
“Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start a religion.” L. Ron Hubbard
While reading this short statement by founder L. Ron Hubbard the hidden intentions of the organization of Scientology become clear to everyone. The science fiction author Hubbard, who was born as Lafayette Ronald Hubbard on March 13th in 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska/USA, wanted to earn big money. I chose this current topic because Scientology is still the centre of attention. Celebrities like Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and John Travolta draw the attention of the media to Scientology. Regularly Tom Cruise and his comments and alleged actions are the focus of public attention. Is Tom Cruise one of the most powerful Scientologists in the world? Does he really eat Katie Holmes’ placenta? Was the daughter of Cruise conceived by using Hubbard's frozen sperm?
