I thought this thing between her and Tom was just going to be a PR stunt. Now it looks like she's entering the dark side.

I wonder how Chris Klein feels. On one hand he has to be kinda bummed she's getting all this attention, on the other he's probably happy that he is done with this nutty broad.

I made no editorial comment other than it was a quick conversion from whatever she practiced before.

What do you care what we care? Or did I just blow your mind?

Don't think anyone really cares. Just people commenting on the topic due to the recent number of posts on Scientology I think. Crazy religion right up there with ... well all of them.

Heaven forbid we show some regret that public and likeable personality is joining a cult. Sorry you're so fucking insensitive.

Well, it doesn't have her actually saying that, just come crap about lessons. Maybe there's still hope?

It is inevitable.

THE GIRLFIEND OF CRUISE MUST NOT BECOME A HOLLYWOOD STARLET.

IF SHE CAN BE TURNED, SHE WOULD BE A POWERFUL ALLY.

SHE WILL JOIN US OR DIE, MY MASTER.

Because he just did, of course. It's the weekly Tom Cruise tune-up, AKA running buck-naked through a $5 drive-thru car wash. The searing hot wax only affirms his faith.

You have to admit though, this is the most press the Church of Scientology has recieved for free in a long time.

Yeah I'm hoping that people seeing Tom Cruise act batshit insane will deter most of them from the "religion." But of course, the old adage may apply here: "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

Prior joking aside, I think any rational person can see the difference between a cult like Scientology and a religion like say Christianity. Despite the somewhat blurred differences between a religion and a cult, at least one has done some good in the world (which doesn't offset the bad, I'm just saying is all).

You'd think that, wouldn't you? Welcome to GAF, host to at least 1 irrational poster out of every 50.

Read up on Scientology then see if you come to the same conclusions.

I agree with this ... series of words put together to form a reply.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology

-Extortion
-Driving people to suicide
-brainwashing

The list goes on. Looking at the man behind the "religion" L Ron Hubbard, it's clear it was made to suck money out of the weak minded, or those that are in a weakened state. Looking at his famous quote on religion and money alone is a red alert... well it should be.

There are CLEARLY differences between Scientology and your good ol' average, ordinary religion, and they have been well-documented: threats against members, financial misdoings, brainwashing techniques, etc. It's not fair to equate the CoS to your local neighborhood church/mosque/synagogue/whatever.

With that being said, there ARE similarities between them from a certain point of view, and I don't think xsarien is ENTIRELY off-base with his comment. Religious belief requires a certain amount of irrationality -- maybe "suspension of disbelief" is the right word -- to persist, and rigorous rational skepticism about the belief system is discouraged.
