Reuters article BERLIN (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Tom Cruise not only battles creatures from outer space in his latest film "War of the Worlds," he also believes aliens exist, he told a German newspaper on Wednesday. Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe? "Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know," Cruise, 42, said in the interview published in German. Cruise is a follower of the Scientology church founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and his recent willingness to discuss the faith has raised eyebrows in the media. Most controversially, Cruise criticized actress Brooke Shields for revealing she had taken antidepressants. An official Scientology Web site argues that people should live drug-free. Cruise also dismissed psychiatry as a "pseudo science," invoking the ire of the American Psychiatric Association that called the remarks "irresponsible." But many scientologists feel they are unfairly criticized, arguing that although many believe in the concept of aliens, it is not such an unreasonable proposition, and that the side effects of some medication are not fully understood. Cruise's new film "War of the Worlds" is based on British writer H.G. Wells' 1898 story of the invasion of Earth by Martians. |
Supposedly Scientology “cured” him. Tom Cruise not gay |
Scientology is NOT recognized as a religion in many European countries, but is classified as a business. |
|
Not surprising, considering believing in the existence of aliens and a hatred of psychology are core tenets of Scientology. And I'd almost agree with them on the whole 'unfairly criticized' thing for believing in aliens, but for the whole believing that we are the reincarnation of dead aliens exterminated billions of years ago, and that our 'problems' in this life are the result of more dead alien souls residing in us... So I say chowderhead, par excellance.... |
Crap! I can edit the post but not the poll. For the purposes of the poll consider chowderhead as a substitute for whack-job...you've clarified your position in your post so it won't be misinterpreted. Or, think of it as someone who has most of their brains missing replaced with chowder (which, as good as it might be as food can't do any thinking even though they sometimes call it brain-food). ETA: On a hilarious note, a webpage busting scientology myths is operation clambake. |
And this from a guy with "subdued" as his handle?????? j/k by the way...well, in that "skanky old man-killing bitch hag" kinda way! 
|
Now I know how the rednecks feel when we tell jokes about them... IT'S DISCRIMINATION I tell you! OK...I am done hijacking... Tom Cruise used to be yummy on a stick for me (Top Gun....OMFG!) Past tense is SOOOOOOOO sad in his case. |
WTF?! Last time the carrots and now a stick. Hijacks are good. They often end up being better than the original thread topic. |
|
I'm really torn. I like a good movie with aliens blowing shit up and destroying the human race and all, but every time I see Tom Cruise on the TV I think "there's that crazy bastard again". I think if I could get a Tom Cruise-free cut of War of the Worlds, or, if he dies in it, that part, I think I would be happy |
Yeah bitch, subdued... as in subdued uniform patches for example... |
|
Tom is on a downward slide and he'll be a has been pretty soon. He's an idiot for letting Nicole get away.  But when you own a P51 Mustang and can have anything you want, even in women...you know he'd get stupid. He won't stay with Katie, it's a publicity stunt to get his name back out there. Lately, he looks like he should go on some type of calming prescription. 
|
Playmore is a chick. |
OH!!!! Someone call me retarded... |
Ok...you're retarded.
|
Dude...I was playing with the literal meaning...having actually WORN subdued patches for 8 years, I do know what they are... And call me bitch again and you'll definately be feeling JUST how bitchy I can be |
well at the checkout line in the grocery store this morning, one of the headlines screamed out that Katie's parents were hopping mad over the whole Scientology thing. One has to wonder if they are fit to be tied over his nutbag "religion" or if there is something else rotten in Denmark.

I heard she was a devout Catholic before meeting him AND I heard this on the radio this AM; She evidently has a "handler" assigned to her. Female handlers are discouraged from having children and (I cannot confirm this bit as it was on 92 pro FM) 1500 pregnancy terminations were performed on said handlers. I gotta think t hat riles the Catholic parents JUST a bit. |
I'm guessing that "handler" is someone from the Scientology home office to keep an eye on new recruits? So the handlers have abortions or perform abortions or ? I'm confused. btw, how much taller is she than shrimpy? |
Wow, a chick on a gun board, prior military service (subdued patches and all) and clever enough to play with words (huh...goes with the screen name! Fancy that!). ETA: I think he called you "bitch" before he knew you were actually a chick. |
Sorry about that Ma'am... Didn't realize you were a lady. I do apologize most sincerely. |
|
Accepted 
|
See Playmore? This is just another reason to have you pic as your Avatar or at least in you bio. |
Nah...half the members would comment "I'd hit it" And the other half would comment that my eyes were too close together, or my lips too thin or my ears were too long or some other crap. 'Course those would be the gay ones, but hey.... 
|
Yow. So Tommy boy hired this wench to skulk after his unsuspecting bride??? uh oh
 it also appears that maybe, just maybe, SHE IS AS CLUELESS AS A SACK OF OATMEAL!!!!
 |
 Merrel, that's some good stuff. |
