Cruise ‘is Christ’ of Scientology
Posted on January 23rd, 2007 by admin
TOM Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.The Mission: Impossible star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.
A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church’s top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology’s Christ-like figure.
“Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”
Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the ’80s. Leader L Ron Hubbard claimed humans bear traces of an ancient alien civilisation.
Oh, kill me
No one even knows where this preposterous lie came from (”an undisclosed source”, it says) but that didn’t stop virtually every media outlet on the planet from picking the story up and running with it.
The Church released a statement expressingly denying any truth to this made-up story, and yet very few media outlets are covering this. An unknown nobody can take anonymous pot shots at someone and have it broadcast around the globe, and yet the truth as presented by a verifiable and reliable source - the Church itself - doesn’t get an equal chance of rebuttal. Now why do you think that is?
The reason, of course, is that the truth isn’t entertaining. What gets published in today’s sick sad world is that which will make an editor or a reporter giggle.
