Why does anyone pay any attention to Tom Cruise?

Geez, just look at those thetons flying off of him!!!
Just loved the South Park episode...
I know that it isn't politically correct to suggest that it shouldn't be ok to beleive whatever you want but I am going to suggest that it isn't anyway. That goes double if it is a religion that proselytizes.
In any case, Scientology is an out of control cult that skirts criminality when it isn't engaging in it...

Please, just make Tom (wussy man) Cruise, Scientology, Britany (freak wad) Spears and the Mitt Romney go away. Put em on a slow boat to Uriah! Where ever that is, put em in it. Geez, lets get on with being smart people.

Elron lives on...his followers are legion(s of nutty people who don't believe in the Invisible Man, but have to put something down in that
field on a form somewhere anyway...)

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I am not a Scientologist, I am Irish-Catholic...but what ever happened to freedom of religion in this country. Scientology isn't hurting anyone, if Cruise or anyone else wants to be a member of a given church, they should be able to do it, without getting attacked. If he were Jewish and getting attacked like this, the media would be up in arms, and rightfully so. Apparently however, Scientologists are fair game.

I think Scientology is odd, and it isn't for me, but taht doesn't give me the right to attack it or slander it...and it certainly doesn't give a asshole like Morton the right. Morton is a journalistic hack and a lie spewing coward. The guy has denegrated Princess Diana and others, just to turn a buck. This puke should be sued and left pennyless, like the dirtbag that he is.

Tom Cruise is a sissy man..who cannot trust his own intellect to life his life. I dont care how much he makes, movies or money and I certainly dont even ever see his movies. The guy is IQ challenged. He and Britany Spears need to leave us alone and simply fold into nothingness.

Scientologists have killed loads of people.

Did anyone see the recent British documentary? He had black cars following him.

They get all your dirt straight from your mouth, called an audit, and if you try to leave, they post all your information up around neighborhoods in an effort to destroy the person. They won't let autistic children taken medication. They lock people in basements.

They have a ton of power in politics. Jeb Bush has given them everything. They need to be outlawed. They're a brainwashing cult.

Cruise's child "Conceived like Rosemary's Baby??" The author is obviously a wacko. Rosemary's Baby?? The author of the book has no credibility whatsoever. Good grief.

I'm not sure if I believe all of the claims in the book, but I do agree with another poster who wrote that Scientology is not a religion- though calling it a religion certainly makes obtaining tax dollars to erect buildings a whole lot easier. I am not particularly a fan of Tom Cruise; his acting skills aren't that great. However, some of his public comments and some of the organization's beliefs are frightening. Do scientologists not have autistic or ADHD children? No scientologist suffers from depression, post-partum depression, or even schizophrenia? I wonder how they feel about people who are on anti-psychotic drugs. Attacking doctors who over-prescribe is one thing..preaching that there is no need for psychiatry is another. Hmm.. wonder why they haven't tried recruiting Charles Manson.

As for the whole Katie Holmes and Suri thing, it was strange in the beginning, with the hospital records, the pregnancy "bumps" and such. I do believe that Nicole Kidman is being kept from her children. Read some of the articles and posts written by people who have left scientology and what they have to say about their experiences. It's downright scary.

I'm still wondering why scientologists send Christmas cards or even have Christmas. Christ mass celebrates the birth of Jesus. Why don't they have a Hubbardmas or something? Oh yeah.. that would freak people out. Oh the trauma of overcoming that alien experience.....

Before he fouonded Scientology, L.Rkon Hubbard was a famous science-fiction writer and was quoted as saying that whoever found a way to combine religion and science fiction would make a mint. Then he founded Scientology. And made a mint.

Cruise looks like he's made up for the role of one of the Beatles for his next film.

It's not scientology that's bizzare. All religions are. The miracles that society accepts in religions accepted both the east and west, the stories etc are, if looked at honestly, have either scientific explanations or are so way out that they're ludicrous. I won't specify any particular religion. Just look at your own and judge for yourself. The only explanation most people can come up with is that it was a supenaturally inspired occurence.

Whatever anyone thinks of Cruise and scientology, it's disgusting to demonize his child; that's plain wrong. Also, no matter what you think of his 'religion', he was right to fire his agent when she spoke out against scientology. She should have protected him; that was part of her job. It was frankly stupid of her.

I don't fault people for writing about celebs, those who have chosen that life know full well they are going to be a target for gossip
BUT
it is really disturbing when people are gossiping and photographing an innocent baby.
Leave Suri out of it.
Leave Britney's kids alone and all the other kids who were innocently born into a family or lifestyle that is not their choice.

Im telegraphing the era of President Obama, so it seems to me we will all have to work together in the spirit of bipartisanship to find some common ground in our differences with Tom, Katie, and the Church of Scientology.

i wish tom and all those he loves as much happiness and abundance they are able to achieve. we all have the same red blood running through our veins and if one of us is able to find more love than the next, more power to him!

Who cares what this lying fagot has to say? Now I have nothing against gays... hell, I am a lesbian (there some of you have it) but Tom is a lying puke.

Tom needs to go away. What an ugly person he is.

Wonder when his contract marriage with Katie is up..

Wow! Can't wait to read the book -- in spite of the fact that I KNOW it's written to make more fuss about Cruise the wierdo.

Even his new haircut is... well weird :-)

This Morton guy must be on drugs or something to invent such stories about Tom. I hope he will be sued to bankruptcy. He"s just a leech living off other"s fame. First he sucked out Princess Diana now it"s Tom and Katie.

Since Tom is from my home town, I feel obliged to stand up for him. The truth is that his behavior is not unusual for an actor. They are prone to drama by their nature and often work out their emotional lives in public view. Part of the attacks on Tom are rooted in his success. Gay or straight, Scientologist or not, he has a right to believe what he wans, speak about it freely and make a living as an actor. His performance may be affected by his public perception based on his views and deeds, but try reconsidering the popularity and celebrity of Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, Roman Polanski, Charlie Chaplin ... before you condemn Tom for speaking his mind and following his beliefs. Has anyone ever actually explored his alarming claims of the overprescription of anti-psychotics by Psychiatry on behalf of the Drug companies? A recent documentary on PBS did and supported Tom's assertions, yet we hear little from the media.

Cruise's designs on Beckham are more than religious.

People get way too bent out of shape about Cruise and Scientology. The guy is not my favorite actor but he seems like a decent human being. And even when he loses it a bit, he seems to have his heart in the right place.

I am far more bothered by this so-called biographer trying to use the Scientology thing to drum up business.

So what if Cruise is a Scientologist? Most of the fundamentalist Christians think we should teach Creationism in our schools and ban a woman's right to choose. To me that is far worse than a guy who wants his wife to join his religion.

SORRY, THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE.

The guy has made a lot of money using Scientology. Would he be a megastar without it? Maybe, maybe not, but it certainly is not hitting him in the pocketbook.
