Of course Dobbs exists.

Dobbs exists -more- than you or I exist. His existance permeates the
reality fabric in which he was created like water soaking into tissue.
Look at Ward Cleaver from 'Leave it to Beaver'. The calm, rational
tone, the hair, the perfect blonde wife, the loyal worshipful
children. Sure, that's Hugh Beaumont, the actor. And sure, that's
Ward Cleaver, a fictional character. But don't you see it? That's
also "Bob". The "Bob"-nature permeates so intensely that it's
difficult to find someone who -isn't- "Bob", especially around the
years when "Bob" actually lived, in the mid-'50's.

Looking at Ward Cleaver (because he's a familiar example to a lot of
people) he's calm, succesful, reassuring. He's an attractive man, in
a conventional way. You see, the combination of scriptwriters/actor
are, as it were, 'riding' the wave of "Bob". "Bob" is the living axis
of the luck plane, so people could sense Him, and could sense that in
Him was success, all things desirable.

Just look around. The signs of "Bob"s existance are so common that
it's difficult not to see them.

It's like in olden days when the Jewish prophets could 'see' Jesus
before he was born. Why? Magic? No. It's just that Jesus' nature
was so highly transcendental that the signs were everywhere to be
seen.

Likewise with "Bob".

Hubbard was riding the wave of the Anti-Bob.

Which is more impressive: a Savior that lets a bunch of semi-civilized
peasants NAIL HIM TO A CROSS, or a Savior that smokes a pipe, looks benign
and fatherly (if a little creepy) but TAKES NO SHIT FROM ANYBODY?

I *thought* so. "Bob" is the one who CANNOT be nailed, although he can and
must be killed from time to time.

Oh, you heathen bastard. How can you say the Twentieth Century's Greatest
Fraud (look it up on the Time.com website if you don't believe me) doesn't
exist to start with? Nothing exists to start with! It's Redundant to argue
the point! Not that this is a good reason not to argue it, quite the
contrary. But your whole premise is fatally unflawed.

That *other* Savior is the mythical man who became a myth. "Bob" is a myth
who became a mythical man. How can ANYTHING about him NOT be notorious? Why
would you even ASK such a question?

Why did the Christians go with that longhaired sandalwearing fellow in a
dress who is sometimes referred to as "The Pansy of Palestine?" Not very
photogenic for the Modern Industrial Age, is he? I'll TELL you why. Because,
if you buy their patter regardless of its lack of snap, *He's the one who
founded their religion.*

Does that answer your question?

> hubbard smokes too you know

So do I... and quite frankly, my pipes are all nicer than "Bob"'s. However,
*his* is the One True Pipe, and that is the difference between mine,
Ozzie's, L. Ron's and "Bob"'s.

Is that clear?
