Here's a mystic who knew the purpose of religion. I well remember the adulation of
Castaneda and how even otherwise sensible people thought his stories were true.
Then there is…. Ron Hubbard a fairly mediocre sci-fi writer who (reputedly) made a bet
with Anton LaVay (founder of the Church of Satan)
It was Robert Heinlein, a some what better SciFi writer, with whom Hubbard shared a house
for a while. It's not clear that it was a formal bet. In discussing how to get rich,
Hubbard opined that the founding a religion was the surest way.
I wonder if Bruno is an a-Scientologist?
Brent
that he could found a religion… and so (reputedly) off of this bet, the world was
“blessed” with Scientology and ultimately of course Tom Cruise, along with a whole slew
of other Scientology faithful in Hollywood.
