It's a carefully constructed and almost flawless pyramid scheme in return for "salvation". It claims to cure mental health issues and physical conditions, though not proven. It also attacks and stalks any members or non-members claiming not to be acting in the interests of the cult.

Members of scientology refer to it as a religion, while opposed parties refer to it as a cult. Regardless of the content, it is a "pay-to-pray" system.

Exactly - the more you pay, the higher you advance in their religion. They supposedly have a hierarchical level system, with new recruits starting at 'OT-1' and paying increasing amounts to advance up the ladder. I don't know exactly what level gets you into heaven. :D

It's really confusing, it has to do with in-slaved aliens souls, and weird stuff like that.

The evil alien race, the borglions, atacked and exterminated the great poopidile empire, which now get tossed into volcanoes, and their spirit goes up your butt hole, and gives you thought.

$360,000 for 'total enlightenment' seems to be the number floating around on pickets.
