I really have very limited knowledge of scientology, but I can't resist sharing one particular story about it.
Last year some time, I think, I was hitching up the coast and I ended up getting stuck for several hours one morning in Malibu. I had hobo pack with me, etc., suffice to say I didn't look real clean, but this guy parked in a old vw had gotten out of his ride across the street and walked around for awhile, you know, whatever. He looked a little weird was my impression, so what, but then he comes across the street with a pamphlet.
Well, being who I am I can't ever resist a philosophical discussion. But this pamphlet was sort of unlike any accept jesus or go to hell tract I had ever seen. And the guy was really edgy. And, I couldn't help but play with him a little bit. Because he was really weird about insisting scientology wasn't a religion. Its a Moral Code. He just kept saying that, as I flipped through the chapters in the pamphlet about how one should wash his hands often and well and take care of the their teach because its just the sensible healthy thing to do; and I would say something about religion, and I would get its A MORAL CODE. Look I'm nobody to knock someone's religion-- IT'S A MORALLLL CODE!!!!
Thats all I really remmber. But it was pretty funny. Anyways, I got a ride.
