Default Scientology based essay arguments?

I need Scientology based arguments for my writings, each with two supporting facts.

I have 2 so far:

Argument 1: Scientology was created by a Science Fiction Author.
Argument 2: Scientology is based around money and profits

I would love to hear your thoughts as I need a third, with two supporting facts.

Argument 3; Scientology was invented on a bet by said 3d rate Science Fiction author.
He won the bet, but every Scientology's since was the ultimate loser.

It's an evil cult created with one purpose - making money . Its effects on believers are destructive - Check out a partial list of victims: http://whatstheharm.net/scientology.html

Please read about:

* Its blatantly illegal and immoral activities, as illustrated by Operation Snow White and Operation Freakout.
* Its "fair game" policy of harassing and destroying critics, as illustrated by the stories of Keith Henson, Frank Oliver and Paulette Cooper
* Its fatal abuse of its members, including Lisa McPherson, Heribert Pfaff, Josephus Havenith, and others
* Its brutal, illegal treatment of members who the Church considers in need of rehabilitation or punishment using private prisons
* Its tax-exempt status in the United States, which was gained by blackmailing the IRS
* Its practice of breaking up families

Read "the road to Xena" for an account of a girl who escaped Scientology after 12 years! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/xenu/

The cult's core belief is that we are all reincarnated aliens, and all of our problems are because of other alien souls haunting our bodies. That's the big secret - but it's only revealed to cytologistsStaster many years and over $300,000 - so most of them have no knowledge of it. Read the alien story yourself - in Hubbard's own handwriting: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/OTIII/

Everything about Scientology is dishonest, from recruiting gullible folk using fake "personality tests", through collecting dirt on individuals using "auditing" in case they ever want to leave, to claiming everybody who criticizes them is a criminal, probably a child molester. See it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es166Q3yNKo

Here's a site where you can get all the actual data (unless you're only looking for anti-Scientology sites) from those who have first hand knowledge rather than opinion.

1. Hubbard wrote more pulp fiction than science fiction. He wrote more romance novels than science fiction. His Science fiction writings are actually tiny compared to his entirely combined fiction.

2. All churches have a library where you can read the books and listen to the lectures for free. Most libraries in major cities have the entire Scientology works, donated by the church. There are also free services in the church and you'll see plenty of homeless going to the church for services and church cookouts. It is expensive if you hire professional auditors to audit you, but most Scientologists train to be an auditor and audit for free and get audited for free in return, so little money is involved.

So seems you have to find some real arguments.
