Comments on the Tom Cruise video

Tom cruise talks about everything as if it were a movie preview. "It's a blast, it's a blast. I gotta tell you, it's fun". So is flying a fighter jet. Anyway. Interesting. What this is really telling me is that Scientology is for those who do not have an innate sense of morals. Tom Cruise may have been a moral person when he was born, but over the course of hollywood manipulation, he has become cynical, isolationist. He has become courageous but foolhardy. Selfless but blind. I would say then, that Tom Cruise is an example of a concept you may be familiar with: The Imaginary Modern American. Strong, powerful enough to change things, and selflessly courageous.

T.C is an example of how people often develop a reliance on religion, or another set system laid out for them. TC feels that he has to help people, and that this is because he thinks like a Scientologist (this originally said psychiatrist, I edited it). On the one hand, one can argue that cause justifies effect, since the end result is people being helped. In Tom Cruises case, and most scientologists case, they're simply drawn in by cult mentality and, due to its high profile members, some caché as well. It's a god complex, an exaggerated superiority complex.

I simply do not understand the transition stage. How do you not see yourself becoming this when the end product is so radical? This is pure brainwashing, this is the same seductive bullshit spewed by so many religions. And he needs to not pretend that Scientology is altruistic. Scientology is a business based on a commercial novel. Enough already. Fucking give it up. Dissolve your religion so we can start fearing Muslims again.
