Grokking Scientology

So, I'm jumping on the bandwagon of spreading this insanity around. Maybe you saw or heard about these videos, maybe you haven't. Regardless, watch them now.

The first is the real Tom Cruise viral ad for Scientology. The second is Jerry O'Connell beautifully mocking it. Please keep in mind that if the first video doesn't work, Scientologists took it down. They have been prowling the internet removing everything. Just Google it if the video stops working.

I'll start off by saying I was never a Tom Cruise fan. I think he can only play a very specific type of character...himself. But ignoring his acting completely, this blog is about Scientology. Now, I'm not trying to push my religion on anyone nor am I trying to cure Scientologists of their delusions. What I want us all to focus on his during the entire video is that all Tom Cruise discusses is the 'state of mind' of a Scientologist. I would think any organization would be a bit more thorough before allowing their "poster boy" to openly recruit.

Yeah, people taking responsibility of their actions and helping one another is of course a preferred way of life. I would have to say that most religions are getting that right. That doesn't mean I'm going to grab my copy of Stranger In A Strange Land and start grokking.

Mmmm...human soup.

EDIT: Sorry - I had to make Jerry O'Connell's video a link. Funny or Die.com's embedding tools are really sucking right now. My favorite part is that it's throwing extra code on it when I upload. That makes it fun.

Stupid computers.
