It’s like every month some new story circulates the headlines about actor Tom Cruise.

It’s like the guy can’t mow his lawn without some conspiracy or massive attack against him and his family and religion has to occur.

You wonder what type of mentality is behind such stuff.

There’s a big controversy because of a video of him discussing his Scientology beliefs in a Scientology in-house promotion video that has been appearing on the internet in various locations.  Of course there are lawsuits flying and should be if the material is copyrighted and trademarked.  The main problem I have is that when Cruise was just a movie hunk he was the press’ golden boy, soon as he spouts off about his religion he’s now the whipping boy.  That’s unfair.  I don’t talk about Scientology because it’s too complex and yadda on yadda but it’s his business what he believes.  It’s his birthright in the U.S. to worship as he so desires.  You don’t see the press or gossip rags screaming at President Bush’s religious beliefs and that asshole just blew up someone else’s country on a personal vendetta and based on criminally produced intelligence data.   You don’t see that because if the press did that the fundamentalists would storm their headquarters and stomp them flat.  In this case Cruise was discussing his participation and belief in his religion and it’s unfair he gets lambasted for it. 

The world is full of crazy people who use religion as a means to an evil end.  I haven’t seen nor read about Tom Cruise bombing people’s houses or beheading infidels or stealing land so unless he goes off the deep end and does any of that stuff just lay off the guy or are you just jealous of his success?
