Scientology's Achilles Heel

Tom Cruise is up to his couch-jumping antics again in the May issue of GQ magazine. Evidently a little of the Xenu-love is all it takes to cure someone of just about anything, including drug abuse. Cruise even makes the claim that he can 'get someone off heroin in three days' using Scientology methods. It's a pity it can't cure him of being an over-rated sub-par actor.

Continuing where he left off with Matt Lauer, Brooke Shields, and Oprah, Cruise again lashed out at the practice of psychiatry/psychology and especially at the use of prescription anti-depressants. (Someone with his bank account probably has no use for them, so it stands to reason he'd have little understanding of the issue.) His self-proclaimed 'intensive study' of the field of mental health no doubt relates to his obsessive absorbtion of the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard himself has been proven to have been a compulsive liar, drug addict, and fraud, even commenting at one point in his life that 'the best way to get rich is to invent a religion.'

Who do I believe? Modern medical science, or L. Ron Hubbard? Hmm.
