He probably started the church for the tax advantages. {nm}

THR: [ATLA2] has chosen an Oct. 12 release date and has hired an experienced distributor and marketer Antibody Jun 25, 10:08

'Kaslow said he has allocated 10 times more money to marketing, and he plans on opening the film on more than 300 screens. {nm} Antibody Jun 25, 10:14

Aw, total cast turnover, and they brough in all those delisted Starbonds, like SMATH, DBSWE, and EMORA. {nm} Paul2k Jun 25, 10:28

But is it ARB yet? {nm} Was Bar Was Jun 25, 10:50

Oh stop about that scientology or whatever else stupid philosophy-for-morons kind of movie news PLEASE ! {nm} JMT-NL Jun 25, 11:19

Scientology makes *exactly* as much sense as any other religion. In fact, it actually makes more sense than Christianity. tawdryhepburn Jun 25, 12:13

It may have made sense, before it got corrupted into a religion. Now it's just bad people taking advantage of the vulnerable. {nm} elchan Jun 25, 12:27

It was essentially always a religion. Only three years after Dianetics, Hubbard offically founded the church on those principles. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:48

Thing is, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand. She was an atheist. Not a scientologist. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:55

So, we're off topic then. How embarrassing. {nm} elchan Jun 25, 13:16

Not as embarrassing as when I cut myself shaving and forget to take the tiny piece of tissue off the cut before i go out. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 13:19

You can avoid that by switching to those new fangled safety razors that all the young whipper snappers are using now. {nm} elchan Jun 25, 13:24

I use those and still get cut. But I shave really fast, because I have no patience for it, and that's most likely the problem. Dave3626 Jun 25, 13:27

You should start a church for tax purposes. The church of Elchan! ;-) Going to need some set beliefs, though. What have ya got? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:59

Wait, I've got it. Dave3626 Jun 25, 13:31

Someone already scooped that one. It's called the Church of Latter Day Saints. {nm} elchan Jun 25, 13:55

Now that's not nice. Official LDS policy has been a "no" on polygamy for over 100 years now. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 13:59

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 25, 15:10

Yes, I was thinking of getting ordained as a minister on one of those online registeries first. {nm} elchan Jun 25, 13:31

Actually, the genesis of Dianetics and Scientology was a bet Hubbard made with some othe SF writers. {nm} DTravel Jun 25, 14:36

just to be contrary...JMT could be atheist and consequently think all religions are hocus pocus equally... ;-) Catzan Jun 25, 12:51

good point. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:52

True, but then he would be agreeing with a part of what he considers Ayn Rand's philosophy-for-morons. {nm} BionicMoron Jun 25, 13:01

If you want to criticize religions for anti-Semitism, you might want to include Islam too, no? Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:52

Huh? What the hell does Scientology have to do with Atlas Shrugged? {nm} onenil Jun 25, 12:55

has nothing to do with it. Someone got mixed up. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 25, 12:58

Scientology is actually more intelligent and coherent than Rand's beliefs {nm} mickpix Jun 25, 14:03

I wish my fund was activated... so I could short this juxtaposing mailignancy ( hmmm don''t know if I got that spelling right ) Bigtime {nm} SequelsFund Jun 25, 11:22

Getting off the Scientology nonsense, Rand's philosophy is Objectivism and has nothing to do with starting a religion, but about the movie.. LanceStorm22 Jun 25, 13:35
