Apr 18 2008Nicole Kidman: No more Scientology for my kids
Nicole Kidman's two children that she adopted with Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor, are apparently balls deep in Scientology. Nicole, who's Catholic, has had enough and wants her kids pulled out of the church that L. Ron built. And by built I mean made up. Page Six reports:
At the New York premiere of Ian Halperin's film, "His Highness Hollywood," a Scientology insider told Halperin that Kidman "wants her kids out of the church." Halperin beat up on the faith in his book, "Hollywood Undercover," and said he wasn't surprised when, during the premiere, "the projector had been sabotaged."
Nicole Kidman would rather have the kids follow a more realistic religion like Catholicism. You know, the one where a dude in a pointy hat tells people want to do from a balcony in Italy. But at least with Catholicism they don't brainwash you to give up ridiculous amounts of cash. They just guilt you into it. Huge difference.*

Also, I'm kinda curious as to what Nicole Kidman thinks she's gonna do about it when she couldn't even take the kids WITH her.

I never was much of a Nicole Kidman fan, but DAMN she looks pretty hot here! Scientology is for the whackos and it doesn't surprise me most of hollyweird is into it. You can mock us Catholics all you want, but we NEVER want to eat the placenta. Or how ever you spell it.

Most importantly, Tom Cruise and Nicole are both still going to hell. You know, because the Church says in either case that two men shouldn't have sex...
16. FromOutOfNoWhere - April 18, 2008 10:49 AM
Only drawback to being Catholic is that if you're an altar boy you pretty much spend all your time protecting yourself by keeping your butt to the wall when the priest is around.
17. Elliot_Spitz_On_Her - April 18, 2008 10:50 AM
Imus was playing "Benny and the Jets" in honor of the Pope's arrival today. He is set to chastise the UN on our stance against admitting illegals with impunity, yet oddly silent when we offer to send all those burro jockeys over to the Vatican for permanent residence.

Oh come on now, aren't all religions ridiculous when you come down to it?

I'm no fan of Catholicism, but I'll take a catholic over a scientologist cult member any day. Unless their a priest who rapes children and doesn't have to go to jail for it. But really, apples and oranges. Catholicism, whether you like it or not, is not a cult, and scientology is.
Makes me wonder.. that guy who is outing scientology in his upcoming video.. I wonder how long it will be until we hear that he's died in a car crash or disappeared or something.

"But at least with Catholicism they don't brainwash you to give up ridiculous amounts of cash. They just guilt you into it. Huge difference."
You mean, at least Catholicism isn't know to forcing children to do manual labor, take children out of already dysfunctional schools that get people in trouble when they study things outside of Hubbard, and force them to separate from their families. Then when you try leave, stalk and harass you- then try to humiliate you by telling you all the secrets from forced confessionals that come at hundreds by the hour. All religions have their share of bullshit, but Scientology not only takes it extremes, it's institutionalized.

All religion is a joke and the Fish's post was funny. Look, if you want to believe in a religion (any religion) go right ahead, whatever works for you is fine with me. But, they are all "cults" it is just that some have become main stream. Even Christianity was considered a cult when it was first brought up. If you want to believe in a God that is great, but organized religion is a joke.
40. deacon jones - April 18, 2008 11:29 AM

Kind of sounds like the Catholic church, except it's an altar boy instead you fucking idiot. How many times has Benedict given speeches since he's been in the US about how ashamed he is about the mass rapings by the priests, give me a break

Her face looks like crap, anyone who'd do that to themselves FOR MORE MONEY i.e. to keep her career going, probably doesn't have the intellectual wear-with-all to confront Tom and the Scientologists. Your kids are already damaged, Sweetie, much like your face.
And all you religion and Catholic bashers, you've learned your neo-Marxism really well, congratulations. You're above needing moral rules to live, you would never descend into something as tawdry as religion. All those countless generations of boobs - like your grandmother and grandfather - only existed for what? To show YOU how superior you are in rejecting them? Some of you have raised cynicism to a religion, ever think?

The problem is people do not take the time to learn about science and history. Churches have been corrupt since day 1 and they control people by giving them the fear of the unknown with heaven and hell.
Nicole is pretty and I hope she has continued success with her personal and famous life.
47. Truth - April 18, 2008 12:04 PM
For all you "keep religion out of it" people - good luck with that. You're all in denial. The world is being Islamicized and the inevitable embedded extremists are making sure that it's the brand that subjugates secular aspects of life as well. Possibly the U.S. will the last Christian country to be kneecapped, but possibly not, given all our freedoms (which will work against us in this case), and the fact that one Islamic has twice the passion and commitment as 10 Christians . Europe's already toast, ditto Africa and obviously the Middle East. Asia will take longer but it's already being infiltrated.
So get all that criticism and hostility out while you can (but no cartoons!), because a kid born now will not be permitted to express anything but respect and worship to All@ah by the time he or she is an adult.

Bashing aside, please quit being a holier-than-thou ass. Morals have nothing to do with religion, and nonreligious people can be moral.
Larry Craig.. he's religious, but would you call him moral?
So please.. quit using your religion to excuse your ignorance. It might work for you, but all you end up doing is making religion look bad to those who already dislike it. You are no more moral than a nonreligious good person.

My daughter is 12 and is an Athiest because she goes by science and not by faith. She is genuine and good hearted. Her Christian friends bring their Bibles to school and announce to my daughter that all Athiests are going to hell. She tells them to quit involving her with their make believe friends, but most of the time she tries to ignore them.

I agree wholeheartedly. You're bashing Catholicism, but remember, those so-called priests who are breaking the #1 rule by molesting innocent children are FEW, and they are still horrible people for doing so, no one is denying that, and that is why Pope Benedict decided to face the matter head-on, with no frills whatsoever. Think about those other non-religious, or religious, people who molest children...what gives them a right to do so? We're all human beings, and evil is apparent in this world, no matter what religion we are affiliated with. Don't blame Catholicism as the "root of all evil". It's the choice God gave us to make, and some people just decide to follow that wrong path, all the way straight to Hell. As for the "giving up of ridiculous amounts of cash" - first of all, they don't GUILT you into anything. If you have the extra cash you would like to donate for charities, church renovation, or for the poor in the community, by all means, do so. No, I'm not a preacher, I'm only a respecter of all reasonable religions. NOT CULTS, RELIGIONS (excluding those psycho Satanist cults).

Sorry to derail, bout about the Pope talking about the church sexual abuse.. did he say anything about making these bad people lawfully accountable? My biggest beef with the whole thing is they just pay everyone off and move the priests instead of making them accountable by man's law. It doesn't seem right that they can circumvent the law. Equally, it doesn't seem right that victims are more content with money than justice.

She's not a bad mother.
And it really is no different than a child being a christian or a catholic or islamic at age 12.. they were all born to it and had no choice in the matter.
In this case, the girl either has had choice, and chooses to follow scientific fact, or the girl was born into atheism. Either way, it is no different than just being born into a religion and touting it as if it is something special, when really it is nothing more than an accident of birth.

@50:
Good for you. It must be difficult to raise a child to think for themselves with all the influences and idiots in this world. (see...)
...@58:
I have more respect for a parent who brings up their children to think for themselves instead of indoctrinating them with fantastical ideas before they're even able to comprehend the world around them, let alone the magnitude and implications addressed by religion. It shows a parent who actually cares and gives a damn about the future of their child.
67. Jenn - April 18, 2008 12:58 PM
Keep in mind, truth is a controversial thing. The TRUTH remains that most priests are adherent followers of Catholicism and its teachings, which do not include child molestations anywhere in the texts. Only a few priests have done so, but the media has publicized it to a great extent, which then leads people into thinking that Catholicism is a terrible religion. People who violate their position as a respected leader in the religion of Catholicism ought to be severely punished, but they, by no means whatsoever, represent every single priest, bishop, or pope that ever lived.
If Catholicism was so corrupt, why do they have organized events to give back to charity, why do nuns dedicate their lives to care for the poor, why are priests risking their lives to venture in the third-world countries to deliver food and money to build up hospitals for them?
Hmm...maybe you're right then. Maybe Catholicism is a degrading religion because Catholics do help others, no matter what religion they are associated with. Not saying that Atheists don't, but you can't deny the fact that Catholics do. Buddhists do. Hindus do.
Think before you talk, buddy. It might spare you a one-way ticket straight to the mental institution.

This is a humor and gossip site. I find it amusing that people see this as an appropriate forum to defend or attack religion. Laugh at the joke and move on, or don't laugh at it and move on. Either way, MOVE ON.
Or you can try to defend Catholics without bringing up the Inquisition, their intolerance toward scientific advancement (see Galileo), the silent endorsement of Nazism, etc., to go along with their current scandals. The fact is, virtually every religion had (and still has) periods of intolerance, violence, and extremism that can underscore the moral bankruptcy of their faith. This is why we have suicide bombers and people willing to kill abortion doctors today.

Let's face it all religions are cults at the end of the day. Some are just a lot older than others. Scientologists seem pretty hard core and dedicated to the cause though and these kids would be better off out of it. And lets face it, most self confessed catholics are not really practicing so.......it's not like they would just replace on rhetoric shoved down their throat for another.

#77, there has been so many articles and books about Saudi laws, I wonder how you could still be unaware of them. Besides, most Arabs think the Saudis are too extreme, that they are crazy. Saudis also have a bad reputation because they are wealthy, give very little, and think it's God who chose to give them all the money.
Can't mock you much, though. I got stuck in the US and it was horrible. People were dumb, there was nothing to do, besides going to church.

People type casual here, off the cuff, and don't use spell check.
It is not like these comments are going to a CEO of a major company.

with $cientology as one of the sponsors here its only natural that the morons at the superficial would equate catholicism to $cientology in terms of abuses. They dont wait to be fair gamed anymore than the next corporate limp wrist.

Negro isn't a racial slur you dildo - it's like referring to a white person as caucasian.

Is this a very recent photo? Because Nicole is nearly 7 months pregnant and these photos just prove the concern of many that her obsession with exercise and not 'gaining weight' means the world's tiniest baby bump!

It's unlikely that she will ever be successful in taking them out of scientology. I read in one interview that her kids don't even call her mom. But guess who they do call mom- Katie Holmes! Considering that Tom Cruise is the Jesus of scientology, it is unlikely that those kids will ever escape from their clutches. It's sad, really because obviously they are not being encouraged to think for themselves or be open minded.

Please, you all should read something from Richard Dawkins.
His new book "The God Delusion" is great.

No one needs religion.
Believe in whatever you want, but every religion is unnecessary.
No one can assert that his moral life is based on the bible or another ancient book. Has anyone here read the bible?
I did, as i was 12 years old.
And now I'm atheist.

Oh, and to Nicole...
I never liked her work. Not only one movie.
She scares me, her smile is SO fake.

Good luck with that Nic -- NO ONE gets out of Scientology alive ... just ask Jason Beghe (before it's too late):

There is a typo in that post - tells people WHAT to do, not WANT to do.
101. @ 97 - April 19, 2008 12:40 PM
The thing that atheists don't want to admit is that there are evangelical atheists who want to convert people. Like #97. How about I don't try to convert anybody and they don't try to convert me. Fair deal? Also, religion has to be fair game to be made fun of so that it does not become tyrannical, like the Catholicism of the Middle Ages, Islamic extremism of some, or Scientology. If religions do not promote freedom of thought and an open exchange of ideas (like some churches of every denomination and faith, as well as the entire structure of Scientology) then they are prone to becoming cultish.

Free the kids, and free Katie Holmes! Tom Cruise can stay with his cult.

Big difference for me here is that the Pope doesn't know (or even think) he's scamming people (I don't think he does at least.... who knows?)

Nicole is probably 4 months pregnant and is wearing a lose pleated dress that hides the bump. Nicole looks like she is gaining the proper weight; unlike fat pregnant mess loser Tori Spelling; she is huge already!

i think anyone who so imersed in a "religeon" that they become fanatic about it, whether its scientology or the catholic church, you gotta be sort of stupid...you know, not very bright. it means that there are many many issue that you somehow can't wrap your mind around logically. so what do you do? you say things like "god works in mysterious ways." chalk it up to some devine intervention. it's not much different than thinking the sun is a god.

#77 It's funny how if you make a negative comment about a repressive system, the goons come out telling you to shut the fuck up! (click on link for corroboration if you think this is all a lie)
110. Sugreev2001 - April 21, 2008 10:39 AM
So AuntieKryst,Racism is okay but knocking religion is not.How do you like this,"**** your whole religion,infact **** every religion and religious idiot in this world."
111. gabriel - April 21, 2008 9:15 PM
A false and offensive comparison. But much can be overlooked in the name of humour, real or attempted- of course many of the commenters have no such excuse.
112. makemepuke - April 22, 2008 10:33 PM
Well the scientologists think they are superior to everyone like the Nazi's tried to convince the world that the Arien Race was superior..... Scientology is not a religion its a fuckin cult and a damn evil one at that.
Poor Nicole, her kids are trapped in a completely insane and demonic cult and there is fuck all she can do about it....her devastation and heartache is immeasurable.
113. lisa - April 23, 2008 9:50 PM
The cult of Scientology is absolutely some of the dumbest brainwashing crap I've ever read about (and I did read a lot about it in college when I had to do a presentation/report on it). L.Ron Hubbard's own son has come out blasting it saying his father never intended on it being taken seriously; that his father was a sci-fi author and once told him the fastest way to make a million bucks was to start a religion. There's a reason the cult is banned in a lot of western countries and there's a political reason it's not banned here. In any event, I'm an atheist and have been since about 20, although I was raised a Catholic. I tend to think religion is for weak-minded people (no offense to you religious folks out there) who need something to hold onto. I've formed my own beliefs and if anyone I knew was getting into Scientology, I'd try my hardest to convince them otherwise. I certainly don't blame Nicole. Let Tom wait for Xenu to come!
114. Torri Moss - May 4, 2008 4:42 PM
I hope Nicole was able to get her kids out of the cult. Halperin, for his book, went undercover as a very wealthy gay actor wanting to change. He also suggests the cult does lesbian and gay actor match-ups a la Tom/Nicole. Also says that Travolta is stuck in it, because the cult has so many details of his homosexuality. No big shocker there. He still seems gay as the hills to me.
When it comes to Scientology, JUST SAY NO.
Really, Scientology is the closest thing to a totalitarian system similar to the Nazis (which is why Germany is fighting its spread in their country), that works with rewards and punishments, while in the process sucks people dry of their finances. Only very rich need apply.
In comparison, the Catholic Church was fierce at the time of the Crusade's but the worst thing the Catholic Church will impose on you today, even if you confess killing someone, is saying a few prayers.
Halperin, while posing as an actor, got access to the higher reaches of the CoS hierarchy by claiming he was a member of the "Israeli royal family" (what a sense of humor since there is no such thing).
