Opening hotel to public just another ploy

So Scientology is opening up Clearwater's Fort Harrison Hotel to the public so we can eat their food and look at the Hubbard exhibit. Who cares about looking at a bunch of pictures of Loony Ronny, the mediocre science fiction writer who thought up the cult so he could get rich? It worked!

Don't you think it is sacrilegious that they start the open house on Easter Sunday? The cult never misses an opportunity to try to convince the public that they, too, are a church. Hopefully, the public is intelligent enough to see that this is just another ploy by the cult to gain legitimacy that they don't deserve.
