You misunderstand me. I don't think the priesthood is bad. I think they are brilliant. It's a hell of a business model, practically the most successful one in history.

I only wish I was charismatic enough to pull it off. Mr. Hubbard leveraged his charisma and creativity into a massive empire that made him disgustingly rich. For whatever reason, this lowly engineer doesn't seem to be able to manage feats of social engineering like that, at least not very well. I managed to start a small cult when I was in school, but students were a bad target demographic, none of 'em had any money.

Ah well, someday I'll get it right. Guess I'm just jealous of how good at social engineering some of the priesthood is. Jealousy's a sin, though, right?
