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.

If calling Tom Cruise a jackass means I'm gonna burn, I guess I'm gonna burn.

Those Scientologists are SOOOOOOOO original! No one has EVER claimed to have a "christ figure" before.
If they really wanna be brave they should proclaim TC the new prophet mohammed (piss be upon him).

OK, I'll bite. Have somebody nail him to a cross and let's see if he comes back from the dead.

“Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views." I get it - anyone who is criticized is just like Jesus Christ.
That ought to guarantee me a seat at the right hand of God.

He [Jesus] replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived.
For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,'
and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. - Luke 21:8

There's a protest singer

Way to manipulate and use a clueless celebrity. From what I've read, Scientology is a truly scary and dangerous cult.
