Ed, I think you're right that I'm right:) Also, Risky Business was a VERY important movie in my uh burgeoning awareness. I've actually read a lot about and of Scientology during my years as a fact checker. I certainly don't detest it -- don't forget there are young people today whose parents and grandparents are Scientologists, it's no odder to them than Mormonism. (Mind you, I think I'd guess right in believing you despise the virulently anti-gay Mormons as well. It's hard for me to wrap my head around a religion with a pricetag -- even though there are plenty of temples where you are expected to pay for s seat of prominence on High Holy Days or churches where you must tithe 10%. Even though the US gov't has recognized Scientology as a religion for tax purposes, I think sftom is quite right that almost no one outside of fellow Scientologists will see Paramount's actions as religious intolerance. They think of it as an odd cult or detest it too. Besides, Ed if you went clear you wouldn't be gay anymore! Isn't that what you're really scared of? It doesn't "cure" you, mind, they just say no one who is clear is gay. L. Ron not to fond of the gays, by the way.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1156448697278314922006-08-24T15:44:00.000-04:002006-08-24T15:44:00.000-04:00I think most Americans view Scientology as a cult ...I think most Americans view Scientology as a cult or in the least as a strange group of people but not a religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1156441395031095992006-08-24T13:43:00.000-04:002006-08-24T13:43:00.000-04:00Lay off of Far and Away; I love that flick!
