It hasn't had two thousand years or so to rub some of the rougher edges off its mad ideology, as other faiths have. And, just as important, it hasn't got a huge 'hereditary' following of people raised in the faith, so it has to brainwash vulnerable adolescents and recruit celebrities with big egos who love being told how special they are. Christianity started in much the same way, after all. Sorry for going a bit OT. I agree that Scientology is nutty, Michael C., but consider this; it’s a new religion.
