Simple, it's not. They're all silly in different ways. Xenu and atom bombs are no screwier than burning bushes and talking snakes which are no screwier than blue elephants which are no screwier than big guys with beards and hammers which are no screwier than spaghetti monsters which are no screwier than 72 virgins.
I find it easier to deal with crap that was invented more than a few years ago by moderately crap science fiction writer
The real kicker for me is that they're such a bunch of freaky heavies, just watch the BBC doco...
It's okay to like the classics. Shakespeare over John Grisham, DaVinci over Maplethorpe, Beethoven over Britney, 2000 year old fairy tales over 40 year old fairy tales, whatever you prefer.
But if you think the Scientologists are "heavies" you might want to look at the atrocities committed by those who believe in the older, classic fairy tales. The body counts piled up by the major religions make Scientology look like a kids tea party.
