The back of Jon Stewart and the Daily Show's, "Earth: The Book" features various fake "blurbs" in praise of the volume, from the likes of J.D. Salinger, Al Gore, Wikipedia, and You-Know-Who:

I followed Wieber's "Just for fun" suggestion (posted in Opinions and Debate) and did the Google Images: Scientology search. Besides the images, I found some interesting sites, including the one in the link below, which included a bit on Scientology along with the following comment, which cracked me up:

"Somehow I just can't trust a religion with a prophet named Ron. What's next, a god named Larry?"

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless."

- Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Encouraging a Scientology victim to seek HELP in the "free zone" or guiding him there as if this is an acceptable route is like offering to tie the noose for someone who is suicidal.

“People don't "believe" in Scientology; they buy into it.”

"No doubt you are familiar with the Revelations section of the Bible where various events are predicted. Also mentioned is a brief period of time in which an archenemy of Christ, referred to as the Antichrist, will reign and his opinions will have sway. All this makes for very fantastic, entertaining reading but there is truth in it. This Antichrist represents the forces of Lucifer (literally, the "light bearer" or "light bring"), Lucifer being a mythical representation of the forces of enlightenment, the Galactic Confederacy. My mission could be said to fulfill the Biblical promise represented by this brief Antichrist period. During this period there is a fleeting opportunity for the whole scenario to be effectively derailed, which would make it impossible for the mass Markabian landing (Second Coming) to take place. The Second Coming is designed, among other things, to trigger a rapid series of destructive events." - LRH, HCO BULLETIN OF 5 MAY 1980, ISSUE I
