Top 10 Celebrity Scientologists

[@terryz3063]

It isn't a religion, it is a cult. It has nothing to do with religion. L. Ron Hubbard was once asked by an interviewer how to make a lot of money and he replied, "start your own religion".

[@bigmikeobama523]

Exactly what are the differences between a cult and religion again? I can't tell the difference

[@terryz3063]

Ron Burgandy Good question Ron. I suppose there really isn't any difference. Perhaps one could say religions have at least a modicum of altruism whereas a cult has but a single purpose. Anyway, followers of either are weak willed and mindless.

[@JHowesitgoing123]

terry z any cult that gets "big enough" is a religion.

[@terryz3063]

***** Thanks for the info Third. I did not know there were so many, but it does not surprise me. I more sorry so many people are fooled into belief, not alarmed. My kids know better.

[@terryz3063]

***** I certainly hope so. It seems to be here in Canada as well. I just got mail from someone who not only is a christian but a creationist as well. He/she was trying to tell me how wrong I am and that god is real. I find such folks impossible to reason with.

[@walkertongdee]

Scientology was too radical for Manson LOL...

[@smsbackupcarlos]

Even Manson thought it wasn't for him, hint hint.

[@lindseytucker9389]

He figured out he could do the same thing their doing

[@iamnotjack.whydidichange]

i am christian, i respect other religions and also the ones who don't have a religion, but damn scientology is too weird for me. i tried to read about it to get to know it to understand it, but i completly failed....

[@iamnotjack.whydidichange]

eddiewinehosen stupid why? because you are closed minded? there is no proof that did happen, but also there isn't that did not happen. but one must apprecciate the work of whoever wrote or invented the bible, he managed to fool 2 thousand years of civilization and keeps on fooling many people. he elevated a slave religion to be the dominant one, and persuaded the roman empire, who didn't play around. i didn't have a real choice, one i was like 1, my parents made me catholic, i doubt many things, i don't believe in most of what the bible says, mainly because it was too much rewritten by the church and its stupid politics and interesses. but the truth is every legend has some truth in it

[@Sumpfjacke]

There is proof that it didnt happen because there are the laws of physics and so nobody can do that!

[@joshbuckley5902]

eddiewinehosen i do agree that those are weird stories but i think the way that Scientology practices is what is more off than other religions I mean you have to pay for one thing just to learn higher teachings and the rest of their methods just scream cult

[@iamnotjack.whydidichange]

Sumpfjacke do what? it's not there are witches flying over in the bible. once, i saw a documentar explained that all the events on bible were actually possible, even when the sea divided in two, just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. and don't come with laws of physics on me, which is also something that you don't understand, if you did you wouldn't argue with that. the only thing that is not normal in the bible is when the first born children were killed in egypt and others miracles performed by jesus for exemple, that is when the divine comes around. i am not trying to do nothing here, i just hate when people talk without solid proof. and also, it's funny how people know that religion is used to war and still make stupid comments offending each other. before it was jews against heathen, jewsvs muslims vs christians, now is what religion vs atheism? if atheist are smart to know better than believing in someone, they should know that petty wars are stupid

[@iamnotjack.whydidichange]

eddiewinehosen that's part of the divine, that's why it's called a god. and just because you can't and probably no one of nowadays can't, doesn't mean there never was. there is plenty of proof, of course you have to mantain an open mind. you know, before you there was the church who made fun of science, but science prooved them wrong, this is because there was open-minded people. i don't think there is such thing as science vs religion, since i believe in both. yes, poeple MUCH smarter than you say this. but i have to keep there is aspects which are wrong and others which are right, in BOTH.even science believes there may be something beyond us, since they also don't know how to explain everything. yes, poeple MUCH smarter than you say this. you cal me insane, but there is people in history who were called insane and then prooved right, i don't know if you know i am talking about since you obviously don't know nothing about history and its meaning

[@VAHOSS]

Is Charles Manson really considered a Celebrity?

[@tsiirhc]

celebrity has no real meaning.

[@mokeimusic]

Most people know who he is,doesnt mean he is a good celebrity but he is famous.

[@thecrazed77]

Well he was a singer...

[@VAHOSS]

***** I will agree with you, especially if Charles Manson is in that category...

[@pamelaalsop7772]

He's infamous. Famous for horrid reasons. But he used his Scientologist brainwashing techniques on the young girls.

[@christopher399]

You can still like them, sir. I'm a fan of Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Not a big fan, at least not of Travolta, but I still like them. They're both talented actors who have done a lot of great movies. Especially Tom Cruise who does great movies now as well. Don't know about Travolta's latest movies... Definitely didn't care for Killing Season.

[@ThePokemonSoldier]

WillemHD i know that, i was making a comment that there are a bunch of intolerant idiots out there

[@christopher399]

They have a lot of great movies! C'mon... Pulp Fiction?

[@Duke0Forever]

***** Indeed, they have acted in good films. But whenever I find out there's a movie with scientologists, it's automatically repulsive.

[@christopher399]

Deus Paligorius Weird, dude. I love scientologists. You should go take a stress test. Try asking where Shelly is.. lol. You'll get kicked out instantly.

[@pierceriddick7311]

Deus Paligorius Why would you think that. You sound incredibly biased you can say a movie is bad if it's truly bad but saying it's bad based on someones belief is just idiotic. I would never say I hated Top Gun or The Last Samurai just because Tom Cruise believes differently then me.

[@Duke0Forever]

pierce riddick you dumb idiot, I never said that their movies were bad. If something is repulsive, it doesn't automatically mean it's bad. It's more of a subjective tought. And Top Gun is terrible.

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Whoa, I thought Beck was smarter than that...

[@NovaHessia]

Well, they say he's second generation. So, he grew up with that BS. And unfortunately, most people keep the religion they grow up with. It would be unfair to blame him in particular...

Top 10 Celebrity Atheists?

[@BasedPeter]

Cameron Johnson Nothing, just suggested it.

[@3OHT.]

EpicNinjaNerd7 Being a scientologist isn't an atheist. It's a cult that sucks up your money. They also have many strong beliefs around aliens: "One of the major tenets of Scientology is that a human is an immortal alien spiritual being, termed a thetan, that is presently trapped on planet Earth in a physical "meat body."

[@BasedPeter]

г-н зонт I never impied anything like that! I'm an atheist myself. Jeez

[@3OHT.]

I love how this religion was created by a science fiction writer to be a fictional religion in one of his books

[@edwardpritchett8647]

Whoever invented Scientology is a master manipulator hands down

[@D3K018]

He was... Ron L. Hubbard has the world record of the person with most published books in history... He had a wild imagination, wrote intriguing and interesting stories in his thousands of books... And told that the best way to make money would be to create his own religion... The second in command, David Miscavige is pure evil, he took over once Hubbard died, saying that "his spirit reached the final level, and transcended into something beyond, and his body was an obstacle for his mission in the universe... Somehow he convinced thousands of people and he has been a real evil mastermind, disappearing people (including his wife), creating torture fields and having a legion of people obeying him...

The ad preceding the video was an ad from Church of Scientology. FFS Not too surprised about most of these--certainly explains how Kirstie's new show happened!--but Jason Lee...damn, man. I had so much respect for him until now. Watching his awesome work will never be the same. Recommended listening: "Tom Cruise Crazy" by Jonathan Coulton. Funny, sad, and oh-so-true.

[@phayzyre1052]

Fuck $cientology!

[@jimhunt2030]

If you read several books about former Scientology member, you will basically come to realize that Scientology is basically like a slave religion to those members who don't have money, or celebrity status. I can appreciate them helping others get off drugs, but the church -- like many churches have a seriously dark past.

[@lucaferreri2269]

I find it funny how christians think Scientology is ridiculous and preposterous, yet they follow a book that makes about as much sense as scientology does.

[@pabw8560]

Theres a big difference, the Christian church wants some of your money, the church of scientology wants all of it.. even more than that.. they leave you in debt. Also some of the bible makes sense if you see it as fables on ethics and philosofy for simple minded people (like most of the people of that period where). They didnt do well with abstract ideas, so it needed to be written in metafors. The scientology text, not that i have read alot, are just drivel, bad science fiction and ripoff from psychology.

It's still funny when you think about it that L Ron Hubbard (the science fiction and fantasy writer), the same guy that said all religions are ridiculous and that he could come up with an even more ridiculous religion and get people to believe in it... did! It's as though EVERYTHING about Scientology wasn't already enough to convince you it's a sham, but then when you read comments like this from him years before founding this cult it's somehow still not enough to sink into someone's skull.

[@sarahkolakowski2012]

Because he used stuff from scientology to create a religion of his own. Also he realized how crazy scientology really was even though he was crazy so they were paying some type of homage to him I think. Because if some crazy person could see through scientology, than a normal person should be able to see scientology as bs.

The worst part is people like Cruise & Travolta are amazing actors and I want to like them. But seeing how "disconnected" they are from society bums me out a little bit. It seems like Cruise's crazy level has been declining recently which i appreciate. But hearing the stories of ex-members makes you wonder how these smart successful people can be ok with or not say anything about beatings, mental abuse, seperation of friends and family, blackmail.

All cults have a fairly unique set of shared beliefs, and are always a fairly small group of people.
