Christ 2.0: Tom Cruise

[Saint of Killers]

So how much money did that take? Is this the top level? If Bill Gates gave them a billion dollars, could he become their new god?

[gir]

WWTCD?

oh goodie, i can't wait to get my necklace!

So, when does he die for us?
Because, I think that would make a lot of people happy.

scientology hasn't done anything good for us so far, why would it start now? it's more likely that, if there is a higher power, this'll royally piss him off and a lightning strike or some other act of god will rid us of tom cruise.

god, too many airheaded chicks worshipped him already 'cause they thought he was hot. now he gets to be the next christ, too?? man, i wish i could say stupid crazy shit on television and make an ass out of myself and have everyone worship me for it.

[kingoffighters]

As long as he is crucified, I am in.

[Mr-K]

I said "Western religions," you sweet piece of ass.

Which implies that you think Eastern Religions are less supernatural or outlandish, which is what Scourge was addressing.

[burgundy]

Scourge said Christianity. I was also taking a cheap shot at Jews and Muslims.

[gir]

i wanna take a cheap shot at jehovah's witnesses!!

jehovah's witnesses are crazy. there, i feel better.

[Nick]

I'm guessing that article is either blatantly false or is reporting something out of proportion to what actually was said.

I was also taking a cheap shot at Jews and Muslims.

If the ADL takes down this site, you better buy me another.

man, i wish i could say stupid crazy shit on television and make an ass out of myself and have everyone worship me for it.

Mzo does that here. Ask him for tips.

[mollipen]

Scientology is exactly as retarded as every other Western religion.

Until Christ is written to have flown around on a jumbo jet, and listened to hymns on his iPod, I'm going to have to say no.

[g0zen]

Which Eastern religions would those be? Buddhism and Hinduism which believe in idol worship, reincarnation and karma?

This is painting with a ridiculously broad brush. Certainly, there are some types of Buddhism that have worship of divine figures, but the Buddha himself made no claims of divinity and demanded anyone who follows him question the validity of everything that he tells them. If Christianity had that kind of inherent skepticism we'd probably have avoided the Dark Ages. Still, I'll grant you that it's still essentially a religion and has all the baggage that comes with it.

You were just taking a cheap shot at Christians because it's easy and you thought you'd come off as clever saying they're all as bad as Scientologists.

They are as bad as Scientologists. What's your point?

Also you forgot Confucianism.

[youandwhosearmy]

Scientology has a lot of death and destruction to catch up on if it wants to have any relevancy in the next 50 years while the Muslims and Christians get us all killed over their beliefs.
