Church to Gawker: It May Be Crazy, But It's Ours!

61. Wow, all I see is someone who is very passionate about their religion. If some of these idiots on here posting ill words about it would have open minds and be respectful of others beliefs, we wouldn't have all these wars huh? I don't recall seeing this religion starting any wars in my history books, or even killing anyone in the name of their church. I hope the people on here and TMZ are atheists, than that would make since to belittle someone else religion. One who lives in a glass house should not throw stones, unless it’s bullet proof. More people have been killed in this world over Christianity and Islam than any single reason in history. I comment on this because I am a Baptist, just as I have the right to believe in my faith, I think people have a right to think freely of the religion they believe. You know that Baptist in other countries is not even recognized. There is only Protestant or Catholic. Yeah you have the right to say what you're saying about Tom, which I agree is a little off his rocker, but to speak ill of something you have no clue about I believe is wrong. Someone posted an ex scientologist reason why the religion is messed up. That's like saying go listen to your drunken uncle who was just fired from McDonalds. You know damn well he's going to say it wasn't his fault and the people were just out to get him. So he starts talking bad about the food. Please read your history or just watch the history channel and then tell me which religion has caused more harm for the sake of....well you know. And for those of you who are Christians might want to take a look at the Ten Commandments again. I'm just saying TMZ, WOW!!!!!!!

62. Gawker to Cult---F--k you losers. Ever heard of freedom of speech. It aint coming down. If you were worried about people seeing it, then perhaps you shouldn't have filmed it in the first place. Idiot freaks.

63. Freedom of Speech?? Freedom of Press??? Huh... I guess his "religion" doesn't believe in this when it doesn't do them justice.
Only when Tom wants you to know about his "religion" he will make that known, on Good Morning America to Extra to Oprah or any place he feels is necessary at the time....

64. listened to the tape, it just sounds like he is devoted to this way of thinking, he didn't look carzy to me. The tape was edited, and if thats his belief so what? Some people have a cow god, eceryone should have a right to believe what they want, even Tom. BTW, I still think he is cute.

Wow, are you ever gullible and naive. They sureeeee wouldn't have a trouble converting you, cause you are sooooo obviously dumb as a post. Idiot.

65. Hi Scientologist! You said: "I don't recall seeing this religion starting any wars in my history books, or even killing anyone in the name of their church."

(and that's just one sad example)

66. Not any one of you who are here demeaning Tom Cruise and making fun of his height will EVER be as successful as he is. Most assuradly, not anyone at TMZ will ever achieve anything close to Tom's success.

You're all being led around like sheep. You're being told Tom is crazy on this tape and that's what you're seeing because that's what you want to see. I've watched the tape. He's certainly not acting crazy. He's enthusiastic about what he believes. I don't pretend to understand the appeal of Scientology. It just seems silly to me. But if that's what he believes, that's his business.

I like Tom Cruize movies and I will continue to see them. I don't have to agree with his politics or religion to like him on screen.

It's almost laughable how easily you are all being lead around.

Well, it is completely laughable how easily this CULT, and yes, it is a CULT, NOT a religion, has you fooled, but then again, you don't exactly come across as being very intelligent. Idiot. They sure won't have any trouble converting you, now will they d-ass. What a moron.

67. In most states, it is against the law to intervene during an accident. You can be sued and held liable if you give improper medical treatment and without having the proper medical certifications. Good one Tom, your cult is amazing.

There is one hugeeeeeely major problem with your post, other than the fact that you should probably do your research first. That way people will only think you are an idiot. Oops, too late. It is NOT a religion. IT IS A CULT!!! Wake up and smell th common sense retard. Man, some people are sure born stupid. You would be one of them.

69. TMZ employees better check for more than a letter. The Scientologists have been known to stalk those who criticize them or make them look as crazy as they are. Thus, more proof that Scientology is wacked out cult.

70. We all knew Scientologists were whack-jobs ..

... but look at the saggy jowls on Tom Crazy.

Did he go under the knife? Or did the ghost of L. Ron Hubbard take care of the neck wattles?

71. Hey Xenu like that you replied to my comment and I went to your link. This was a tragic lost of life. My statement was "I don't recall seeing this religion starting any wars in my history books, or even killing anyone in the name of their church." By killing I meant going out and killing people who did not agree or believe in their religion. I can not make any excuse for denying someone the right to medical attention and then turn around and try to help the person their own way and end up killing her. That's just sad. All I'm saying is we should let others believe in what they want and respect it instead of making fun or calling it a cult. Like what was done to the original people who inhabited this country before the Europeans came over. Not to compare or belittle that situation but other religions do worse things and we say nothing about those beliefs because they are widely accepted or ignored.

72. Spurs since you're so educated explain your comment instead of ranting. By calling me an idiot and saying it's a cult does not prove your point. Sounds like to me you are still in high school. While you are there read up on your history, obviously you're flunking right now. And learn to have an intelligent conversation or debate before opening your mouth. You sound like one of those internet tough people. Say what you want because no one can get to you...oh I'm sorry did my homework, they do have programs to track down people who post on here.......

73. I didn't think this video was strange.

He talks like anyone with a strongly held religious belief would talk.

74. To me it just sounded like rambling. You're right though there is Freedom of Religion in this country so it doesn't matter if we agree with what he believes.
