Tom Cruise, Scientologist
Tom Cruise, Scientologist

This video, available through YouTube, offers us a chilling snapshot of Scientologist, Tom Cruise waxing philosophical about his faith.

In fairness to Cruise, the "interview" is a bit hard to follow, because, in it, there are no questions shown being asked of him. It appears that if any questions were asked, they were edited out of the original. So, in the final cut, what you see are a concatenation of his answers. Thus, you really have no context for Cruise's meanderings other than the stigma of Scientology.

However, even with that background, Cruise still says some things which are disturbing to all but the "initiated." He apparently divides the world into two groups: those who belong on the playing field and those who don't. He also talks a lot about creating new realities and "doing something" to fix the world. We never really know just what Cruise means when he makes these references. The whole "interview" is as ambiguous as it is disturbing.

You can also find interesting commentary on this spot at Slate and Gawker. Both sites have been bold enough to feature either commentary, and/or actual footage of Cruise, speaking to the subject of Scientology.
