And Another One Gone...

Big stars traditionally distribute "wrap presents" to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer's comedy "Hancock" was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center.

Smith…has never confirmed that he joined the church. But he told "Access Hollywood" last month: "I was introduced to it by Tom, and I'm a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism."

A "student of world religion," perhaps, but not, apparently, a student of math.

    Yeah, Scientology is PRACTICALLY Christianity. Except for the 2% difference containing Jesus and aliens. But both religions hate gays, so it is totally reconcilable.

    Ever since I saw Katie Holmes wearing those "special undies," I keep getting Mormonism and Scientology confused. Kinda like Moroni meets Xenu. Hey, I think I just made up a new religion. Now, I can make my own rules!

    Hmmm, tell me your rules, I may be interested. I have a list of questions prepared for such an occasion.

    1. Will there be capes or an official uniform
    2. Will there be a ritual or initiation
    3. Will be have an official drink, something with cold medicine and pain killers
    4. Can we get a tax write off
    5. Can we get Bale and Reynolds to join or at least pose topless

    1. Capes, boots, shirt of your choice (we don't like to be controlling) and mini-skirts. (You guys can call them "kilts.") Leggings are STRICTLY forbidden.
    2. Initiation: You must swear off leggings and Perez forever and ever.
    3. You may drink what you like… as long as it has an intoxicating effect. You know, to expand your consciousness and see the unseen and whatnot.
    4. Isn't that the only reason for a religion? So, yes
    5. Yes. But, they have to bring Johnny Depp and Jakeypooh.

    I thought that was in the works. Don't you remember the movie where Jessica is Bales girlfriend and she dies in the first scene. She and the guys cohort and pillage there way through the film.

    I'm gonna say this and pray to GOD it isn't misinterpreted.
    HE IS RIGHT.
    About all the religions, that is.
    He is wrong that Scientology is a "religion" any more than fucking Backstreet Boys or my asshole are.
    However, the basic tenets of Scientology, from what little I know and from what lot I have no interest in knowing, is that anyone who did the basic steps, like AA, would be better off for going through it. It's basic psychology, self-love, self-reliance, that crap. All the rest of the mythological shit is neither here nor there unless you are a believer, which I am thankfully NOT. However, no matter what you are or believe, the steps without the scientology name and all that crap would still benefit people, which is why people are sold on it and then buy the whole ridiculous package. But basic self-help shit is also everywhere, without the garbage and exploitation.
    I still cannot believe Juliette Lewis is such a devotee. So very NOT rock and roll!

    Speaking of doing math, how about: first the fact Will "world religions" Smith got caught a few weeks ago saying really stupid things about Hitler - - oh you KNOW he really said something — which is the same theme Tom Scientology is now working on in his latest soon-to-bomb film. Be sure, Will was testing the water for Tom, and is apparently enamored of him. And now, a few weeks later we hear another story, Will is a huckster for (of all cheapass things) Scientology "tests", which you practically get shoved on you on the street…

    Will and Jada lost it so bad, so long ago, it just gets crazier and crazier now, there are no more anchors for them to even hold onto. He really wants to be the "Black Tom Cruise"…

    Scientology is nowhere near Buddhism. Buddha never had muscle guys to go and taunt his followers who were planning to leave Buddhism. Buddha never had delusional multi-millionaire followers who believed in the crap that Scientologists believe. Will Smith should first find out how Buddhism works before degrading it with comparisons to Scientologist. Scientology is a cult. Buddhism is a philosophy.

    Will Smith, you should do your homework. You are quickly becomming a dissapointment to those who once thought you had a head on your shoulders.
    Get your proverbial Thetans in check before making an arse of yourself.

    Google:
    - Fair Game
    - Operation Snow White
    - Operation Freakout
    - Disconnection
    - RJ-45

    and THEN tell me what Scientology is like.

    Scientology is not like any other religion. It is a cult with a mandate to gain members with wallets and destroy all others. Look at Tome Cruise. He is sick. He makes me sick just looking at him. Somehow he thinks that his money makes him something other than the scum that he really is. Scientology, like Eckankar and many of the other cults, is a scam always in search of legitimacy. I would hate to see Will Smith, such a promising and bright person, get mixed up in this terribly negative group that has ruined so many lives. Tom Cruise is a misguided, egocentric and blind character. To believe that the human body is filled with fragments of disembodied aliens is, when you think of it, not only comical but sadly delusionary. Scientology was the outcropping of a SCIENCE FICTION book by Ron Hubbard who was clearly a sociopath. But people will believe anything, I suppose. Especially science fiction. I just hope that Will Smith doesn't go over to the dark side. I'll never watch his work again if he does.
