Tom Cruise may well be the Messiah.... But this is the test - -flog him to within an inch of his life and then hang him on a cross until his lungs collapse and he is very dead (pierce his lungs with a spear so we know his lungs have filled up with water - scientifically prove he is dead beyond a shadow of a doubt), then bury him in a cave sealed with a huge boulder cutting off the air supply, just in case, and armed guards to do away with any monkey business from his followers... Then if he comes back from the dead, says he is the messiah, ascends on a cloud into heaven in front of 300 amazed people who then spread through the world and multiply to form a new religion that ultimately becomes the underpinning philosophy of the majority of the civilised world for centuries, well, give him the gold BluePeter messiah badge.... -- LongDistanceRunner, US
Probably true...once you apply the cross-test..."Jesus" Cruise fails miserably and looks like an absolute idiot.
If this doesn't convince people of the goofy business surrounding Scientology....then I don't know what will.
The real test would be that he'd have to do it willingly,solely for the benefit of everbody else (including everyone that has ever or will ever dump on him)and be praying for their forgiveness during the whole agonising episode.
oh yeah...and come back from the dead.
This article does little more than show all and sundry what a pathetic view of reality scientologists seem to embrace.
