You can throw out Cruise's Scientology and he's still a nut. He may be a nice guy, but he's still a nut.

BTW, do you put L. Ron on the same level as Jesus and Moses or do you put him with Mohammed and *Sea-Man?

*Don't call me Semen!

No, I don't put them all on the same level, but that's my personal view. Obviously people of different faiths have their own beliefs, and if they aren't hurting anyone, why the pile-on when it comes to Cruise?

Some Catholics think the Pope is infallible and don't use contraception. Are they nuts?

Some Jews wear "funny" hats and bob their heads at a brick wall. Are they nuts?

Evangelicals pile into auditoriums and raise their hands in the air as their TV preacher yells. Nuts?

As I said, his fellow Scientologist John Travolta quietly showed up after Katrina with a Lear jet full of supplies. I didn't see Falwell or Roberts doing the same, even in a truck.

Why the pile-on? Why isn't he allowed to practice his own faith without ridicule?
