Christianity, Tom Cruise, and The SkepticTank |
What's interesting about this is not that the news article covering
Tom Cruise offers a URL to The Skeptic Tank article covering the
20/20 exposure but that the article that mildly underscores the fact
that there are no gods in Scientology references a web site that
also has no gods. }:-}

WHAT ETERNAL GOOD DOES TOM CRUISE DO BY MARKETING SCIENTOLOGY?

What Scientology fails at is truth.
Scientology is all about Me. It's my happiness and money success.
Scientology is not about my sins, my need for repentance, my total
inability to redeem my soul, my need for a Savior who provides His holy
sacrifice by which to rescue my hell-bent soul.
Scientology is amoral. But there is no such entity as "amoral." It is moral
or immoral. When something is referred to as amoral it is immoral. There is
no middle ground between righteousness and unrighteousness. All is either
smiled upon by heaven or urged on by hell. The only entities that may be
regarded as "amoral" are inanimate objects such tables and chairs.
Christianity presents the truth that the mortal is born in sin. Mortal is
in need of a Redeemer who presents Himself as holy before heaven's courts,
providing His own life as a ransom for repentant souls.
Christianity is based upon the New Testament records. There one reads that
Christ died for our sins, in our place, providing justice in the heavenly
courts for mortals not able to provide that justice themselves due to their
sinful natures.
Scientology has no place for heaven or hell. There is no Judgment Seat of
Christ. There is no accountability at death.
It is all about now and one's earthly successful future. There are symbols
and terms and definitions in Scientology that waylay the inquirer from the
Bible into the writings of Ronald Hubbard, an esoteric visionary given to
wild imaginative spinning.
In other words, Satan has manufactured still another cult based on man's
ability to redeem himself. However, such redemption totally focuses on this
earthly sojourn. In that self-redemption, ethics are defined as working for
Scientology, growing in mind through Scientology, applying the techniques
for self-expansion via Scientology, mastering founder Hubbard's tools for
self-happiness.
Satan takes all praise and glory from Redeemer Christ for all honor and
esteem granted Hubbard and his wild spheres of inner ascendancy. Hubbard,
in other words, espouses the teachings of Satan as Lucifer - the Angel of
Light. Hubbard presents the evil one as the gospel of the inner
understanding.
Satan appears in gross state in order to lead mortals astray, away from
Savior Christ. For instance, Satan appears in drug trips and drunken
stupors, in murder lust and sexual perversions. In other words, Satan
appears in all the obviously immoral venues of this spiritually fallen
planet.
But Satan also appears dressed in fine clothing, espousing ethics and
wisdom, gathering for fellowship and sharing, delving into the meaning of
life, investigating the definition of the soul, and testifying to having
discovered higher levels of personal accomplishment.
Scientology is Satan dressed in fine grab. However, many have found
Scientology's dark side to be clothed in murder and intrigue, kidnapping
and lies, deceit and fear. One of the most insightful sites for exposing
the dark side of Scientology is "ABC News 20/20 Exposure of Scientology
Cult: Transcript" at http://www.skeptictank.org/hs/2020.htm .
So now we have Tom Cruise once again in the news. In this recent limelight
given the actor, Scientology repeatedly comes to the fore.
The AP reports: "Tom Cruise says girlfriend Katie Holmes 'digs' the Church
of Scientology. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cruise says the
26-year-old 'Batman Begins' actress is curious about Scientology, founded
by L. Ron Hubbard.
"'Yes, absolutely. She digs it,' the 42-year-old actor tells the magazine.
"When asked if he's become more passionate about Scientology, Cruise says:
'I've always been passionate about it. I've always talked about it when
people asked about it.'
"He also confirmed there was a Scientology massage tent on the set of his
upcoming film, 'War of the Worlds.'
"'I also had a cappuccino tent on that set. And I made sure the crews were
fed well, too. And if someone wanted an assist from a (Scientology)
volunteer, it was there for them,' he says. 'People are curious about it -
they're always asking me about it, they want to know what Scientology is.'"
"In an EW.com poll, 61 percent of respondents said they liked Cruise less
now after the recent exhaustive attention to his personal life, 3 percent
said they liked him more, and 36 percent said their viewpoint of the 'Top
Gun' star hadn't changed."
Cruise, like many other famous individuals, particularly actors, furthers
the cult of Scientology as Satan uses this means by which to direct eternal
souls away from Christ to Hubbard.

Of coarse Christianity gets up and changes the channel on
my television set almost every night. LOL
Scientology needs no debunking around here, we only believe
when good evidence has been presented. Thus we do not need
to read a diatribe about how one superstition is truer
better than another.
