I totally disagree fus. And what's more, they have openly mocked our beliefs. They had Joseph Smith with a seerstone in a hat for goodness sake. I certainly don't feel the need to back Cruise on this at all. |
mocked is the wrong word....and have you seen the joseph smith episode?
how about revealed....
scientologists guard their beliefs as much as we guard our rituals, practices in the temple. south park revealed to the audience exactly the secrets, scientologists labor to hide in secret.
if an organization were to do that would we not boycott their products? how do we feel about the stanford band and their portrayal of polygamy?
i believe south park has the right to do whatever they want. i also believe tom has the right to say, hey, this crossed boundaries, and im not comfortable with an organization who exploits my personal beliefs.
im sure if we were all tom and a south park episode aired showing our temple ceremonies and discussing what happened there we would have about the same reaction.....
