Faith Quote by Terence Thirteen
““In Scientology, we believe that bad science fiction is so much more, than just bad science and bad fiction; it’s the basis for a whole new belief system! Sit back, relax and I’ll start blowing… No, no, not too far back! We wouldn’t want anyone thinking this is a psychiatrist’s office. Psychiatrists are evil!””
