In Tom we trust!

I thought about saving this for the Sunday Burst of Weirdness, but it's too weird to save for a prosaic series of blog posts. Via Sarah Jane, I see that apparently we're to believe that Tom Cruise is the Scientologist equivalent of Jesus Christ.

There are a number of jokes springing to mind, but none of them are below the level of tastelessness where I'm willing to post them here.

(Say, if some alien race were to base a religion on the blatherings contained within this blog, in the same way that the aliens in the Star Trek episode "A Piece of the Action" formed their society on the content of a book about Chicagoland gangsters of the 1920s, what would that religion/society look like? Discuss!)
