Patheos on Scientology

Patheos is an interfaith web site with information on most major religions. their section on Scientology isn't too bad. It gives the major strokes, and doesn't insist on hoked up "controversy, but it is not as faithful to the actual beliefs of Scientology as the Scientology web site. But if you have someone who won't believe anything unless it comes from a 3rd party (a principle that comes out of psychology, where they are so sure their experimental subjects will lie to them that they have to figured out how to get the information they want on a totally circuitous path), then this gives some interesting content.

"You may have been taught that the mind is a very difficult thing to know about. This is the first principle of Scientology: It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life."—L. Ron Hubbard
