Off the Shelf: Religious savior or pure mad man?
"Tom Cruise:An Unauthorized Biography" tells all

Issue date: 1/28/08 Section: Culture
The rumor mill stops here. Andrew Morton, world-renowned biographist, mostly known for his biography of Princess Diana, has written an in-depth look into Tom Cruise's mysterious lifestyle. Morton has spent the last several years of his life researching Cruise's rise to super-stardom and his acquiesce into the cult world of Scientology.
St. Martin's, the publisher of this roller coaster ride known to all as Tom Cruise, is now facing a potential $100 million lawsuit for libel. Though if one takes the time to read the unauthorized biography, and really studies it critically, Morton has done his research and most events described appear to be very factual.
If Morton were trying to destroy Cruise and his religious fanaticisms, he would have probably taken several pot-shots at his sexuality. However, Morton seems to have chosen a path of integrity, quoting sources regularly, pointing toward Cruise's alpha-male behavior and the hordes of women he's had in bed.
According to Morton and many hard-core Scientologists, Cruise was what saved Scientology. His earthbound celebrity status, huge talent for acting and his enormous wealth have pushed Scientology to new heights of recognition. He is even influencing some of the highest echelons within the White House - sounds scary doesn't it? It should.
Most are probably unfamiliar as to what Scientology actually is.
Science fiction writer Ron L. Hubbard, and founder of Scientology, wrote that some 75 million years ago an alien ruler named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem in our galaxy by exiling 13.5 trillion beings to Earth, vaporizing them with nuclear bombs after forcing them into volcanic pits. These millions of lost souls, known back then as thetans, were implanted with numerous false ideas about God, Christ and organized religion.
Later the souls of the thetans attached themselves to human beings. According to Hubbard, these barnacle-like thetan souls are the cause of all humanity's problems.

Like any other religious group,Scientology is another way some people have found fit to satisfy their thirst for the word of God. However, since God is the standard judgment, let there be no bigotry
