Will Smith Scientologist? Actor Gifts Church Vouchers

Will Smith has joined the ranks of Hollywood power players actively recruiting for the Church of Scientology.

Big stars traditionally distribute "wrap presents" to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer's comedy "Hancock" was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center.

Fun!

Never mind that such tests are given free by the church anyway. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that - surprise! - Scientology can fix right up for you.

Scientology is an embarrassment that I won’t waste a thought on.

Maybe Thetans will go to his movies; they can have my seat - that is if they have butts.

Ick. I thought Smith was bright, at least. Oh well, to each his own.

Religion is awesome!

Its awesomeness is only proven by how many of us reject every one of them but the one we believe in!

That's why I just refuse to believe.

If it can be reliably and repeatedly proven I will accept it until something better comes along. Otherwise, screw your god and his fluffy white clouds.

HP only posts the Scientologist stories just so the rest of us can laugh at the hysterical haters that just have to post their tin foil hat nonsense.

One can find the crazy in any religious belief pretty quick if they want to hate on that religion.

Yet another Hollywood star to avoid giving money. I can already hear the slow sucking sound of his brain dying...

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

Will Smith is a jerk. Johnny Depp's wife is hot and she has a hot album riding high on the French charts!

Poor Will Smith. Would YOU want to be married to Jada? I wince at just the thought!

The 'test' is rigged to always find a person's 'ruin' (as they call it). The 'reg' will be relentless to use this 'ruin' (and they always find one amigos!) to get money.

Thurday is Stat day. Money into the 'Org' is the main focus. Bad week = big trouble for the staff members.

They will extract money from anyone - its an art for them ... and Will Smith has very deep pockets! Kind of suprised he has fallen for this outfit.

The test is free anywhere ... it is to lure one into an Org for processing. VERY tacky gift Will.

$cientology preys on those with no general education, no critical ability and a lot of wealth. Hollywood is Scientology's wet dream.

"I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism."

Presumably the other 2% is the part about the evil space emperor who put the hydrogen bombs in the volcano.

Sounds about right. What a shame for an aspiring great actor to commit careeer suicide
