Scientology: Impossible to ignore

It's the shit-for-brains problem. Tom Cruise is lobbying the White House to try to get favors for the shit-for-brains who follow this "religion." I tried to let it slide. Can't do anything about the scientologists, too many people are too craven, hell, they even scared the IRS into doing what they wanted---partly achieved by harassing the agent investigating their case. (You can look it up; I did, years ago.)

The Church of Scientology's Top Gun has been lobbying the White House.

Tom Cruise has been meeting with officials from the Department of Education and lawmakers at the White House, reports the Washington Post, and a source says he believes that Cruise is hoping to get government funding for the church.

Because, like, that wouldn't be a violation of the Establishment Clause at all, no.

"TOM IS A big believer in the teaching tools of Scientology and has spoken in the past about how it cured his dyslexia," says alternative religion expert Rick Ross. "It looks to me like he is seeking federal funds for Scientology schools under President Bush's Faith-Based Initiative."

Shame it couldn't fix his marriage. You'd think if scientology could cure dyslexia---an incurable disease---it could at least work as well as a decent marriage counselor.

Ross also says that Cruise is appealing to the Bush administration to pressure some European countries to ease up on their anti-Scientology policies --- just as John Travolta lobbied the Clinton administration.

You mean like Germany, which refuses to grant scientology any status other than shit-for-brains fascist cultists? Hey, I'm with Germany on those rulings.

A Church of Scientology spokeswoman declined to comment on Cruise's visit, saying that it was the "private activity of an individual person."

Uh-huh. One who has to do scientology's bidding as he gets more and more involved in the "church." What is it with actors that they're such assholes about things like religion? Can't he just be a Southern Baptist or something and go around demanding that women be subservient to their husbands? At least I'd respect him more than I do now.

"Tom met at the Department of Education because he has always been passionate about education and wanted to meet the Secretary [of Education]," a spokeswoman for the actor told The Scoop. "And, in a separate meeting, he met with a few White House officials to discuss his concern about the state of human rights in the world today, especially religious intolerance in parts of Western Europe."

Would that be authentic religious intolerance, or intolerance of the murderous, law-breaking cult known as scientology? Come on, Spokeswoman, it's your job to be specific. Hey, I've always been passionate about Mark Twain, but you don't see me lobbying the White House to declare a Federal holiday for America's greatest satirist, do you? (Come to think of it, I'd love to see a Mark Twain Day.

Frog-jumping and fence-painting contests, eating southern food, wearing white on a hot summer day, putting on great big fake moustaches---what's not to like?)

Oh, just shut up about scientology, you stupid actors. Battlefield Earth was one of the biggest stinkers of the century, thankfully, and I do believe that it's only a matter of time until the law catches up with the lunatics and dangerous people who murder their followers and drive American citizens to seek asylum in Canada. Like I said, look it up. This isn't a church. It's a legalized mafia, and it has killed.

I no longer go to Tom Cruise movies. Or John Travolta. Or the films of anyone else associated with scientology. I won't support the cults.

Maybe my few bucks aren't doing much, but hey, at least the profits aren't going to Xenu.
