Tom Cruise is the "Christ" of Scientology?

Friday, January 26th, 2007

This makes me angry. High-ranking Scientologist David Miscavige is convinced in years to come Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus all over the world as he becomes a prophet for the religion. The worst part? A source close to the actor is quoted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying: “Tom has been told [...]

This is insane

MKH on 7th Heaven

Friday, January 19th, 2007

I don’t think I’ve mentioned my love for Mary Katherine Ham lately. Now, don’t get me wrong–there are several things I disagree with her on, but she’s a strong conservative woman who isn’t afraid to speak out. Rock on! This post on 7th Heaven and its recent politics is a good one. I used to [...]
