Will Smith -- I Am (Not) Scientologist!

Will SmithWill Smith says just because he's a Friend of Tom doesn't mean he's a Scientologist ... not that there's anything wrong with that.

Smith tells Rush & Molloy, "You don't have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don't have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali. And you don't have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise." So what is Smith, anyway? "I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions."

Will made the public pronouncement to refute allegations in a recent Radar magazine story that he and wife Jada Pinkett, along with Kimora Lee Simmons, have been recruited into the LRH fold. TMZ spotted W & J slicing steak at Cut last week with T & K, which only fed the rumors.

If Will Smith is a Scientologist, I will never go to another of his movies. I sure hope he's not because he's one of my favorite movie stars.

Home - You are an idiot.

Christopher - You are either 13 or just an idiot.

Religion is a man made entity created in order to control people and give hope of the afterlife.

A Christian is not a student of other religions. If they were, they would not really be a Chritian, Chritians believe in GOd, Jesus Christ, and the Bible. Now, if Will wans to say he is a Christian with RESPECT FOR OR TO other religions, that means he is a Chritian but respects other religions. But anyone who says they are of one religion but is a student of another is not really solely, of that faith.I cannot be chirstian and be a Muslim, or another religions at the same time, They are two completely diffeent religions. I don't think Will really knows what he is. .

Brenton, It is very obvious that you don't know what you are! A little confused! You might want to "google" Protestant and Christianity.

Make no mistake. He's a scientologist. The cult is trying to recruit black members and that's why Tommy has been lately dining with Forrest Whittaker, Will Smith, etc. Tom is no longer the poster child for the cult, because of the release of the famous gawker video showing everyone how insane he is. Will is a box office draw. BUT that's before everyone found out that he's a clam. Just wait until Will's next movie. People need to realize everytime they pay money to see a clam movie, they are lining the pockets of the cult. Nancy carwright/bart simpson donated over $10 MILLION to this cult last year. This madness must end. People are DYING. WhyAreTheyDead.net Find out the truth for yourselves.

Watch this thread for all the damage control that the cultist are going to try to make protecting their next golden child. LOL

Will a cult member, along with his wife. All they do is deny deny, but it's a fact.

With all the blah, blah in Smith's comment, he never once denied being a Scientologist.

I don't believe in sky genies:  1426 days ago

Why is it people don't seem to be able to take someone at his word when he tells you he doesn't believe in that magic sky genie but sort of believes in another magic sky genie but would like to know all about the major magic sky genies?

Which magic sky genie you believe is all up to you.
