An illustrated history of scientology

This thread is in the forum called "Humor, Satire and the Dark Side." This beauty is all three.

Couldn't find a good link (in about two minutes of research) but I'm pretty sure that Dianetics/Scientology was founded as a philosophical movement and only became a religion after Hubbard decided that paying no taxes was considerably better than paying them.

Gee, I never thought I had anything in common with scientologists in general, let alone their founder. But I'd definitely prefer to pay no taxes. Could I start my own religion and quit paying taxes?
