Alien war on earth

Fighting aliens in his new flick "War of the Worlds" wasn’t too much of an acting stretch for Tom Cruise, some are chuckling, because that’s what he’s been doing for years as a Scientologist.

"Scientology teaches its devotees that much of the human condition can be attributed to an ‘incident’ that began in outer space and ended on planet Earth," notes Rick Ross of Cultnews.Com. "[Scientology founder L. Ron] Hubbard revealed that 75 million years ago an alien galactic ruler resolved an overpopulation problem by sending his excess subjects to earth on spaceships. . . . But these billions of alien souls, called ‘thetans,’ still remain on earth clustered in groups. And Tom Cruise, along with other Scientologists, believes that every Earthling is full of them."

So why doesn’t Cruise share this belief with interviewers while he discusses his love of Katie Holmes? "This kind of religious truth isn’t provided for free--at least not by the church of Scientology," Ross told The Scoop. "The price to learn this truth in 1997 was reportedly almost $20,000."
