Zenu! You Cheeky Fucker!

Eleven extras were injured on the set of Valkyrie recently when a bolt failed and sent them flying off the back of a truck on set. For those who didn't know, Valkyrie is the upcoming Tom Cruise film about the failed assasination plot against Adolf Hitler towards the end of the World War II. And for a movie about trying to kill Hitler, this movie has been mired by controversy from day one. Earlier, the German government refused to allow the studio to shoot sequences at certain historical sites.
....
I'm going to go ahead and immediately assume that all of these problems are the result of Tom Cruise's "religious" beliefs. After all, if you were a international movie star who had committed millions to the Church of Scientology, I'd think the deposed intergalactic Emperor, Zenu, would be trying to throw a wrench in your works, too. I mean, you spend all that time and money on genocidally liquidating half the Universe's population, and then closeted jerk from the alien graveyard planet has the balls to plot against you! Dispatch the space fleet! Orbital bombardment to commense within the hour! The "Cruise" must be stopped!
....
What a ridiculous faith. Space lords? Alien genocide? Thetans and E-meters? Psssh. Thank you, but I'll stick with leading my life based on the misconstrued philosophizing of a 2,000 years dead carpenter from halfway around the world. Its called "logic", people. No one is going to take your faith seriously, unless you start harshly judging someone other than psychiatrists. Because thats what religion is all about: persecution.
