TOM Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.

The Mission: Impossible star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.

And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.

A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church’s top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology’s Christ-like figure.

“Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”

Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the ’80s. Leader L Ron Hubbard claimed humans bear traces of an ancient alien civilisation.

At first, I thought this was about a Christian cruise liner I heard about!!!

I'm no fan of Cruise's antics of late, but I'd never have guessed him to be the antiChrist! <:o(

Look,I KNOW theres no logic to it!LOL.
Hubbard wasa decent sci-fi writer but his"church"sucked.
I got recruited in 1968 by a girl I thought I "loved"
Hormones sure makes young folks do some foolish things.

Handsome Young Rebel Scriptwriter: "I don’t know, this all seems so cliché. Maybe the lead should have the hots for the bad village chick instead of the good one."
Bearded Elder Scriptwriter: "We dare not deviate from the ancient sacred screenplay the gods left for our forefathers! If we do, the Sky Demon will devour our gross profit participation!!"

I would pay to see that movie.

Wow. I couldn't get through the review.

As the review author puts it:

The novel Battlefield Earth runs about 1,200 pages long. Hubbard might not have written well, but he wrote exceedingly long. And yes, I comprehend the irony of me, of all people, saying that.
