I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. I thought you were saying that there's a religious belief more patently offensive to the intellect than Scientology, and that just ain't so.
Augh, thank you. _The Kite Runner_ was the summer reading for the class of 2009 and so far I have not talked to anyone who also thinks it sucks (I still got Khaled Hosseini to sign my copy though).
Have you read Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer? I must say mormonism does give the clams a run for their money.
Gillie, I haven't. However, I have heard some of Mormonism's stranger points (as related by a friend of mine who was dating a Mormon), and none of them can even compare to anything I've heard about Scientology. The Sea Corps? Fuckin' Thetans? It boggles the mind.
