Scientology...wtf?

I've been hearing a lot about this scientology stuff. I went on the official website and a lot of their beliefs, I actually agree with. My only thing is, I've been looking more into it and have found a whole bunch of weird stuff about it. Like how all these people have died in Clearwater,FL at their Fort Harrison Hotel or whatever. On top of that people make claims that scientology is just a business, trying to get money and all this other stuff but I haven't really found an evidence to back that either. Someone please point me in the right direction to find out more about this. I'm not interested in becoming a scientologist. It seems like a pretty crooked organization but I want to be able to say that with a full knowledge of the "religion"

Scientology is the idea of a very creative mind. Just like all religions. There is a South Park episode all about it that outlines the main ideas. From what I've heard they stop you in the street and invite you to do a test. They then hit you with some bull about you having a low IQ and other failings. In order for you to correct this you pay them a small (for small think large) fee. If you want someone to pick your beliefs for you then I can think of quite a few other religions to choose before Scientology.

Well like I said, I'm not looking to join any religions. But thanks for the info
