Tom Cruise: This guy is a fucking loon! Or is he?

     If you frequent youtube.com chances are you’ve seen the Scientology video featuring Tom Cruise. In this wonderful gem Tom spiels on an on about the great Wonders of Scientology. I swear you can almost see the sheen of the glaze covering his eyes while he gushes about the all self empowering man made religion he has sold his soul to. I can sum up the twenty minute video in two words: pure drivel.

    Most of the video is pretty much incoherent ramblings. I could make better sense of David Lynch film while overdosing on NyQuil then make sense of Cruise’s points on Scientology. At one point in the video cruise  states” When you are a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you stop. You stop because you know you are the only one who can make a difference.” Oh really? I know some EMT’s who might disagree with you Mr. Cruise. In fact, if I was a victim of a car accident, I would be pretty dismayed if when in my time of need instead of an EMT I got a guy saying ” It will be o.k. I’m a Scientologist!”.

     Despite all the odd behavior I am reminded of an old saying that goes ” it’s a fine line bettween madness and genius.” Maybe ol’ Tom isn’t as crazy as people think he is. The church of Scientology is a pretty wealthy and rumor has it that Cruise is the #2 guy.

     Think about it. It was a religion started by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard who is quoted as saying ” If you wanna get rich start your own religion.”. Well fuck, it worked for the mormons why not for these weirdos?

    If you know me you know that I am not a fan of organized religion. I have no problems with spirituality but, I don’t believe it comes with a monetary value attached to it. When so called religious institutions have you pay for enlightenment, such as the Scientologist do, I have to pull the bullshit card. After-all I’ve never ran into any Buddhist who try to tell tell me that for only a few thousand dollars I can ascend to the next level of spirituality.

      It is reported that the Church of Scientology has made hundreds of millions. If Cruise is a Grand Poomba in the church with access and control to such resources wouldn’t you act nutty and not give a fuck?

     But let’s not forget one thing. Tom Cruise is an actor, a very talented actor. Talented actors have a way of drawing you in and suspending your belief. Couple that with a person who is spiritually lost and looking for an answer to life and you have the next cult member. Somebody  successful as Cruise would lend a bit of credibility to the religion. After-all nothing weird ever comes out of Hollywood right?
