Dude, whatever they want to believe. I was calling peewee a jerk, not the scientology movement or anything Tom Cruise is doing. My comments were all in line with what everyone else was saying.

re s. everybody. k thx.
i went through 12 years of sunday school and my philosophy is if youre a good person, youre a good person. any loving God should accept you for what you are whether it be atheist, christian, muslim, hindu, buddhist, taoist, etc. i shouldnt have to do a bunch of useless, re ed ceremonies and donate money to in order to get in heaven or motel 6... whatever.
Is Xenu's splooge going to be that voluminous and toxic that Cruise needs to build a bunker to hide in so as to not get covered in it? Xenu must be some sort of freak.
Are you mocking my new found religion based on ice cream eating snakes and evil munchkins??
Jesus can kick Xenu's ass. That's all i got to say about that.
I may be. whatcha gonna do about it?
He'll be armed with a Crucifix.
Xenu has an intergalactic army.
My money's on Xenu.
You will feel the Munchking wrath on Judgement day.I may be. whatcha gonna do about it?
The Lollypop guild will kick your ass.
There is no God. Just another device to make you feel seperate from your fellow man.
Xenu is coming though. He called me first 'cuz Im down with the Interplanetary MENSA folks.
I knew someone would pick up on this.
Yes, all religions contain highly irrational ideas, however I think you really have to draw the line here between Bible literalists (who are deluded IMHO), and those who understand that the Bible is a series of parables and life-lessons and not necessarily true to fact. OTOH, is there a similar dichotomy amongst Scientologists? The way I understand it, to be a Scientologist it's all or nothing, and if you can't commit 100% then you get excommunicated.
Also, believing that there was a cool and compassionate guy named Jesus is far less of a stretch than Xenu and his alien souls...
So, that means I CAN make a religion based on The Wizard of OZ because it's full of life lessons and parables??I knew someone would pick up on this.

That's funny, because I got excommunicated (disfellowshipped, as that particular reason calls it) for not commiting 100% to the faith.
Christain religions are not immune to this.
Jesus lived in "Heaven" with legions of angels (alien souls) before being magically transported into a virgins uterus.
No, that isn't a stretch at all.
And, he's supposed to come back with his legions of alien souls to destroy earth and all the evil that resides in it.
How's that different from Xenu exactly??
Also, since the christian "god" doesn't have a shape or form, and he has a desire to destory Earth . . . I think he's a lot like Galactus, which would make Jesus his Silver Surfer.
Philosophy can provide life lessons and parables without ever having to address the issue of worshipping a deity.I knew someone would pick up on this.

I guess a person could pick and choose aspects of Jesus' teaching and apply them to their own personal philosophy as they please, cafeteria-style, without addressing Jesus' claims to be the means of salvation, or calling himself not only the Son of God, but also the "I AM," which is the name of God (and upon the occasion of his calling himself that, provoked the Jews to pick up stones with which to stone him). But that would not make such a person a Christian, just as I would not be a Muslim or a Taoist if I found a nugget of value in the teaching of a wise imam, or an ancient Chinese philosopher.
With regard to the irrationality of certain Christian teachings, they are no more irrational today than they were in the first century A.D., when the learned Greek philosophers scoffed at them. Even then, there were those who found the moral teachings of Jesus appealing, but didn't want to bother with all that supernatural stuff. Paul addressed those in the church at Corinth who thought a literal resurrection of the dead was silly by saying, to paraphrase, "If there is no resurrection, then Christianity is a waste of time, and we are the most pathetic people on Earth."

I tend to think that if an alien race has the technology to traverse the galaxy they're going to pack weaponry that will torch any dinky bomb shelter. If I were him I'd take the 10 mil and sink it into the "Tom Cruise is Still a Sane Human Being" ad campaign. What do you think Nicole Kidman's asking price would be for a 30 second spot?
you're forgetting that Cruise has transcended the physical plane of existence.
Like no one else here is concerned about the reality of an intergalactic alien attack!
If it's not this invisible God of Christians, Jews, and Muslims coming to judge and destroy us it's the intergalactic aliens. Why can't someone come up with a religion where we aren't constantly afraid of being judged or decimated by some unseen force?
Probably because you can't control people without the fear element.
