"I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the
money is."
- L. Ron Hubbard to Lloyd Eshbach in 1949, quoted by Eshbach in
OVER MY SHOULDER: REFLECTIONS ON A SCIENCE FICTION ERA. Donald M.
Grant Publisher, 1983----------------------------------------------------L. Ron Hubbard found success writing
pulp/science fiction, but as he declared in the late 1940s: "Writing
for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a
million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."
@Retired_Engineer:
I'm sure that's the thinking of Joel Osteen, though he would never say the words outloud!
IMO the only tv preacher who really cared about the Salvation on the listener was/is Billy Graham! The rest are entertainers with their hands in your pockets!
