The New Yorker has a fascinating, detailed profile of noted Hollywood writer Paul Haggis, who is also a recent defector from the Church of Scientology that makes for an interesting read. Don't think I've ever taken a hard look at Scientology and have read this, can't say that I really want to. Sounds like a cult at worst, a superficial celebrity fad religion at best- and either way, if you have to pay your way to enlightenment I think that's the worse thing a 'religion' can do- and, as the Catholic Church found out with the selling of indulgences, it can eventually really piss people off.
But the article's good: well worth a read.
