A lot has been said about L. Ron Hubbard’s intentions in creating Dianetics and Scientology. He’s mostly written off as a science fiction writing con man and there are plenty of good reasons to think that’s all he ever was, but I think there’s more nuance to the story than that. In this short clip, I break down my thoughts as a former Scientologist on my old “guru.” Enjoy!

Hi, Chris, My 49 yr. Old son receives Scientology “junk” in the mail almost every week. Thank God I found you and others on internet. The “Scientology” “office” is close to our home…Please get back to me and let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help bring them down. I WOULD LOVE TO!!! I can’t stand them and what they do to people. My name is Kathe Lessley. Email is, catsnapper9@ yahoo.com My son wants nothing to do with them. I have saved all the invitations they have sent to my son. A year ago he took a “class” in communications….He wasn’t the least impressed! Thank you
