Is Tom Cruise as mad as a cut snake?

Forget global warming and the looming disintegration of democracy, the most pressing issue of the day in Cruiseland is the threat of invasion by … aliens. According to several mags this week, Cruise is building an "$11 million luxury underground bunker" at his property in Colorado so his family can survive an "alien invasion"."It's a self-contained underground shelter with high-tech air purifying system," Woman's Day reports. Other essential alien fighting features include a helipad and swimming pool. Turns out that Tom is petrified of some alien guy called Xenu, who, according to the teachings of Scientology, is a bit of a b.stard (or "intergalactic warlord" in Scientology speak) with a serious bone to pick with Earth because um, he's just, err … really cranky with us or something."Tom is tired of his beliefs being portrayed as nutty," says the mag. "As far as he's concerned, his ideas are totally reasonable and he's sick of having to justify them to non-believers."

Ironic, Didnt the scientologists tell him that any alien would have the power and the knowledge to invade, destroy and monitor his actions even if he was underground? Or have they created a fictious alien with limited powers? Its really sounding like an excuse to spend alot of money on a very exspensive toy....It makes me think of what the bible says about false prophets, and deception.

If there was ever a "false prophet", in my opinion, it is L.Ron Hubbard. But then, we also have to take into account that he is a famous science fiction writer. This is what happens when a science fiction writer decides to start his own religion.

Another good point. It reminds me of those people in the sixties who were building underground bunkers in case of nuclear war. What were they going to do? Stay in there for the rest of their life?

I don't think he has to justify his beliefs. With his money he can buy all the weird underground bunkers he wants. I think he went from a really cool guy to a complete nut over the years. He is still a good actor but everything else about him is completely strange. Then again, more and more stars are turning out to be really strange. He is one of the strangest but of course Britney and Michael Jackson are well ahead of him in that department.

I kinda feel sorry for Tom Cruise. It has to be difficult to live with that kind of fear. PoorKatie too to have to live with him and have him directing her beliefs and thoughts. He should never have gotten on the band wagon about post partum depressions saying it's not real and women should just get over it. He should have kept his beliefs to himself if he didn't want to have to justify them to non-believers.

I honestly don't keep up with Mr. Cruise anymore, as I have dismissed him as being among the sane and his opinions don't count very much to me. Of course, if you've ever read L. Ron Hubbards's book "Dianetics", it would explain a lot about this bizarre behavior. "Dianetics" is the only book I ever bought in my life that I destroyed, literally standing over a trash can and tearing each page out, one by one. No one would consider me a violent person or angry person, but that book offended me to the core.

Hi Aussie... Wow...sometimes people think my views are a little 'out there' but after reading this I feel positively 'normal.' Wow...I cannot help but wonder if he is on something...or perhaps Scientology has warped his brain. Of course the roots of that 'religion' come from some alien thing about volcanoes and some being rising up out of them. Escapes me now...but if the roots of the teachings are from 'out there' it is not surprising that those who follow it might also be viewed the same way. What amazes me is that he is so caught up in the dogma he appears to have lost the ability to be discerning about how much he discloses. Interesting topic...I guess we are just non-believers. Oh well it wouldn't be the first time! Anyhow, hope all is well with you and your destructive cat and that he is not destroying your place with his antics. I have been busy with other projects and have had less time to Mylot. However, I will always log on every day and check in with valued friends. Enjoy the weekend...all the best.. Raia
