I know Isaac Hayes was a bad mother...hush your mouth...but I didn't get the warm fuzzies over his death like I did over, say, Bernie Mac. Hayes was a Scientologist and I don't get the warm fuzzies over Scientology or any of it's followers. Scientology is a cult, a harmful, mind bending, destructive cult whose members have allowed themselves to be stripped of the ability to think freely. I don't understand anyone who would join a cult of any sort. Hayes was responsible for a lot of great music, both as a performer (theme from "Shaft") and as a writer for the Memphis soul label Stax ("Soul Man"), but he really did a disservice to his legacy by being a cult member.
