Even though L. Ron Hubbard poo-poo'd other religions ideas of heaven and hell, he created his own versions of the same thing.
Hell = The dwindling spiral with the prospect of an eternity of mental and physical pain , suffering and agony if you DON'T get auditing.
Heaven = An eternity of OT-abilities, prosperity, fun , happiness , health and wellbeing if you get all of his auditing.
Since most religions promulgate the ideas of heaven and hell to "encourage" their parishioners to donate to the church and participate in the religion... what do you think about LRH's verion? Not too far different, eh?
And there's always that alure of "OT abilities"; abilities far beyond any ordinary human being; something that can be described and aspired to; something somewhat magical; telepathy, telekenesis, perfect positive postulating, and much more. But these alleged OT abilities (as a set) haven't been seen and borne out in fact amongst those who have had his auditing. Was it just a pipe dream?
