The Top 10 Secret Celebrity Scientologists
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman. Let's face it, we're not surprised when obviously unstable, closeted, or just plain untalented actors and actresses start blathering on about Xenu and cleansing their Engrams. Hollywood types can be pretty flaky. But while some of the famous faces of Scientology make sense, there are a surprising amount of celebs that honestly, we expected better from.
#10: JASON LEE: SCIENTOLOGIST
Best
Known For: My Name is Earl, every Kevin Smith movie
after Clerks.
Why You Wouldn't Expect Him To Be a Scientologist: It breaks our hearts, honestly. Lee's a hilarious actor, and can deliver the driest one-liners around. He seems like a genuinely intelligent and funny guy. Hell, dude was a pro skateboarder. How cool is that? Knowing he thinks alien ghosts infected the planet with negative energy can't help but be a little disappointing coming from a guy who can execute a flawless nosegrind.
Connections: Lee's My Name is Earl and Mallrats co-star Ethan Suplee isn't just a Scientologist; he's also married to the sister of second-generation Scientologist/certified whack job Juliette Lewis, who starred in that awful "retarded people in love" movie The Other Sister with close friend and fellow Scientologist Giovani Ribisi.
Lewis and her father guest-starred on My Name is Earl in 2006, which must have made for a really fun day on the set for anyone who needed an E-meter reading.
Presumed Operating Thetan Level: One (is able to "audit" self, has knowledge of matter, energy, space and time above that of regular humans).
Scientology as a religion doesn't concern me, since all religion is based on silly ideas that people have to have faith in. It's a choice. Where my problem lies with Scientology is it's background and appearance as a cash cow cult. If they really wanted to improve their image, they should downplay the rich celebrity connections and the fact that you have to pay for audits...
ReplyI don't kno about u, but his insanity should say something. If he's too insane that he commits mass murders, then he was too insane to kno that wut he was reading could've helped him keep from murdering all those people. U gave a poor example here. Charles Manson was not a Scientologist. If I read the Bible, that doesn't mean I'm a Christian, so much so that even though I take a few courses at the Church of scientology, or 150 hours of courses, that doesn't make me a Scientologist. Get ur facts straight!
Replythe onlys ones ive ever heard off are Earl, Chef and Bart
Replythat's embarrassing
Earl, you have failed me...
ReplyDidn't Danny Masterson do Cinemax porn for a while?
Replyalright people you want to be taken seriously? do not call yourself 'sciencetologists'. first you do not do experiment or write any article on a recognized journal, i.e. you have nothing to do with science. secondly the suffix -logy means the study of, meaning the academic sense of studying. so basically scientology reads 'the study of the scientific' or 'the study of the things that constitute science' or 'the science of science'. nuisance. especially since there is no a single scientific fact known to the public regarding scientology and i hardly believe the masterminds of science are just keeping their results away from us commoners. going off the tangent here... well the point is wrong name if you have any aspiration to be taken seriously.
ReplyI know I'm going to get downrated for this, but I can find no evidence anywhere that Scientology is based in the worship of an extraterrestrial being named Xenu who will take us away or that they believe aliens helped with the Pyramids or (insert your misconception here).
ReplyIn fact, a fair amount of search results that pop up discuss these misconceptions. So I don't know what to believe. As far as I can tell, scientology is just some bandwagon humanitarian religion they can cash in on to enhance their own images. It does say it has some generic connection to the "divine," but that's just about every religion.
I only say that because I want to believe Beck isn't some crazy and because come on: Who would actually believe that shit?
It is not as important to subscribe to the Xenu premise *literally*, as it is to subscribe to it *symbolically*. in short, Scientology is a modern equivalent (roughly) of a black magic cult.
They'll tell you all about Xenu when you reach OT3. Keep paying for those auditing courses.
Beck? No!!!!! I loveded him back in the day.

ReplyWell, I'm a Scientologist, and I found most of this pretty funny, so... I mean, yeah. Say whatever you like, I guess. Doesn't really affect me, just means you get angry over things that don't concern yooouu...
ReplyGoogle operation freakout and operation snow white. That's why you lunatics need to be stopped
"Note to Scientologists: please don't sue."
ReplyDon't worry, their internet is all censored.
Their lawyers' aren't.
HELLO SONNY BONO CAN'T BE A scientologist, He's DEAD.
ReplyYour a idiot. The fact that you had to put the "Why You Wouldn't Expect He/Her To Be a Scientologist" part just goes to show that just because someone believes in a way of life or a religion doesn't make them a social outcast or retard or insane.
Reply Hide All See All 5 RepliesOh and the part of Charles Manson is absolute rubbish.
Scientology is an insane scam though. I think you're forgetting that part.
*an
Everything after that was disregarded because you can't spell a simple two-letter word, shesajem.
Who the f**k are you, Rayner? Just because someone believes something automatically makes it a scam? I personally believe that Christianity was a tool of Feudal lords to control the peasants, but if people believe that it improves their lives, far be it for me to deride their happiness. You are a jealous, petty fool. Oh, and no, I am not a scientologist or affiliated with any religion, which is basically the reason that I am not obligated to judge others' opinions. Acceptance rules!
while true dvanman, scientology is still bullshit
It's you're, not your. None of those words are used to describe them. They're just gullible
THEY ARE RUINED FOREVER FOR BELIEVING SOMETHING SILLY I CANNOT BELIEVES IT AND MAKING ME SAD..
ReplyMost beliefs seem silly for the people who are not in it. Christianity sounds really silly for me.
Why does everyone rip on Scientology? We have more pictures of aliens than we do of god.
Reply Hide All See All 8 RepliesAre you certain those pictures are indeed of "aliens"? And are time and space absolutes?
L Ron Hubbard f*****g admitted that he created Scientology just so he could make money. Did you not notice that the COS likes to recruit rich people?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO WE DON'T.
I don't usually respond to responses of my comment but I had to this time. Members of any religion should not look down on other religions. So what if scientology is about aliens. Christianity is based on a wizard that lives in the sky and sent his star baby to die on earth because everyone is mean to each other. Religion is a way people look at things and try to explain the things that are in their surroundings. So what if someone doesn't believe that humans just magically appeared. This is no reason to hate others and even murder others as many people are inclined to believe.
Do they really? Do they actually go out and recruit? Is it not possible that there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who are part of this church? Personally, I find the idea of a science fiction author creating an entire religion ludicrous, but I have not researched, investigated, nor even read the book this entire structure is based upon, therefore I prefer to let people accept what makes them happy, and focus on what makes me happy. People like EdenRocks and Dio are probably unhappy, aimless people who would rather tear down the beliefs of others than try and discover what they believe.
I suppose you would equally open-minded to drinking somebody's blood and declaring yourself a vampire? Don't knock it till you try it, right? Also, you say you are "happy"? Your goal is to be retain that "happiness"? And this is the extent of truth-seeking and all philosophy and eternal mysteries to you? Clearly you'd be better off commenting on a blog on Oprah's website etc, as opposed to anything resembling a decent philosophical / theological issue.
YHVH only exists as the holy spirit (the laws of physics). The father has yet to be born again. His son told us how to get along until we can accomplish this.
I'll say it again. Modern society grossly misrepresents Scientology. You all claim to have these facts, but where do you get them?
You have them handed down to you by word of mouth. Show me the interview where L. Ron Hubbard says it's a scam and I'll believe you. Show me documents where aliens are mentioned and I'll believe you. All I can find from their official sites is information about how man has yet to reach his full potenti- and blah blah blah.
It's another religion, as people below me have mentioned. I think "Xenu" is a part of Tom Cruise's belief system, but not actual Scientology scripture.
I am an ATHEIST, for the record, but I respect people's personal choices and love to stick up for an underdog.
That comment about Manson saying it's all to weird reminds me of this one weird a*****e I knew in school. Last I'd heard about him, he was dating some chick who was part of this weekly Rocky Horror Picture Show get-together group -- the kind that dress up and sing and dance and all that. Eventually, they all thought he was too weird to hang out with them and that chick dumped him too.
ReplyCool story, bro.
