I've seen some leaked Scientology material and Hubbard is the gooniest motherfucker. The way he speaks is hilarious.

I worked at a plant that pressed vinyl records and the Scientologists have archived all of his speeches so that in case there is some kind of global catastrophe that knocks out all mass media and plunges the world into darkness, we’ll still be able to clear our Thetans with dianetics or whatever because you can play records with a needle and a rolled up piece of paper.

E: and they specifically think hearing his voice will push the message better than if a few unburned copies of his fanfics survive, which is a real lol.

Don’t they also have a cathedral in Mexico with all his writings in a solid gold disk or something?

It's quite possible though that sounds sorta Mormon at the same time. We just stored the mother copy of the audio recordings at my work and I bumped into them once and asked about it. As far as I know they've been sitting there for so long nobody in scientology even remembers they're there though I believe they have the masters.

E: I suppose those masters might be what you’re referring to and the fact that they’d be gold plated doesn’t rule it out either since they’re produced through electrolysis, but the master is a negative (it has peaks instead of grooves) and won’t be playable like the mothers are.

This is one of the most nightmarish scenarios for a post-apocalyptic world I can imagine. An actual good Fallout game about a culture raised back to culture via Scientology would own.

The Hubologists in Fallout 2 were a very thinly veiled jab at Scientologists

I was way too young to have heard of scientology when I played that poo poo tbh

I probably learned about Scientology because of it (Juan Cruz wasn't exactly subtle), but :same:.
