It was flavor aid for crying out loud!
But you're a bit mistaken.. scientology takes money, it doesn't spend it on followers.

Well I mean egg hunts are really very pagan. That's one of the reasons the spring tradition has been claimed by the church. Like the Winter Solstice/Christmas yule trees.

Yep. These traditions are not at all rooted in the writings of the Bible. They were indoctrinated into Christendom from pagan rituals. Likely to show the pagans that they were similar. Kind of like how Constantine picked December 25 as the birth of Jesus. Pagans used the same time period as the birth of their “sun god” Saturnalia.

No disagreement. It def. odd the Scientologist would get involved.

Why does this actually intrigue me? It’s like when I discovered the gathering of the juggalos and wanted to go just for observation purposes
