Religious Claims
Hubbard claims his technology makes gods.
You got a human being made into a new kind of human being. It’s a body being monitored by a trap-proof thetan, and that makes quite a guy. Quite a guy. There’s a big difference between that guy and Homo sapiens. An enormous guy. This goal is so far beyond the goals of the first book that I don’t think you could measure them with light-wave meters—light-year meters. It’s just be—way beyond anything, because the bird’s immortal. Maybe you haven’t probably, many of you, taken even that into consideration, that you’ve just made a god. What is the definition of a god? It’s an immortal. Since time immemorial in this language, the gods are immortals. The immortals are gods. This guy can be—body can be bashed in, so forth; all he’s got to do is pick up another one—knowingly, full knowingly.

—L. Ron Hubbard
