scientologie-cover.jpegAt least according to some anti-Scientology forum, where a user uploaded nine scanned pages but provided no backstory. But Boing Boing picked it up so now it's Certified Internet True. Who cares, it's not like Scientology was viewed as the Holy Writ before. So Hubbard remixed someone's work! He sampled! Which is exactly why the Church is fine with all those Tom Cruise spoofs, right? A translated page of the stolen gibberish (or maybe it's deep metaphysics; I'm a dropout) after the jump.
