This, or some like document appeared in public here in Sweden a decade or so ago. I actually had the chance to read it, but I had to fight my way through the hordes of Scientologists put on guard at the public institution where the single copy was housed. Their strategy was to take turns at "reading" the single copy so that nobody else could get the chance. To say the least, I was amazed at its contents, pure science fiction. Just a short while later some U.S. congressman managed to put enough pressure on the Swedish government for them to withdraw it from public view. A black day indeed.

True. But couldn't the same be said about most religions, including quite a few mainstream ones? While Scientology is more of a parody of a religion, everywhere they are is the same obviously unreal fantasy stories that for some reason we are all obliged to tiptoe around so as not to offend people's sensibilities. It is like insanity is the norm, and we should have to justify rejecting it. Man's stupidity is only surpassed by the viciousness with which he defends it.
