This is unusual.

The Church of Scientology, the religion for which actor Tom Cruise crusades, will attempt to spread its "Ignite Your Potential" message into auto racing through sponsorship of a race car in one of NASCAR's lowest levels.

Kenton Gray, a 35-year-old Californian, will attempt to make the field for a late model race Saturday night at Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway. His No. 27 Ford Taurus will be sponsored by Bridge Publications, which publishes Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's bestseller "Dianetics."

Now there is a good business. If you can just start up a religion like L. Ron Hubbard did, I bet you can make some good money.

    Even better, create a fake religion. All the profit – none of the guilt :)

    Cynicism does not lead one to discove the essence of the Spiritual existence, an element that is definitely intertwined with the rest of one’s neuroscience.
