On my Google homepage today I found this quote, "Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. " It's from Elbert Hubbard and I find it invaluably enlightening. Follow me. Elbert Hubbard is the uncle of L. Ron Hubbard who founded Scientology which is the religion of Tom Cruise who doesn't explain anything...especially his sexuality, insane behavior and irrationally exuberant love on his automaton "wife."
Now, I'm sure I'm not the first person to publicly make fun of Scientology, but by God they make it so easy! L. Ron Hubbard is a well known writer. He wrote Dianetics which is basically a self help book and Battlefield Earth a science fiction novel. He also founded the church of Scientology because, you know, he was well qualified having already written self help and science fiction.
Now, most religions have at the heart of them some sort of fantastical story that stretches credulity almost to the breaking point. That's why they are called faiths. If you could prove it they would be facts and we all know how religions hate those. But Scientology has the extra burden of having their sacred tracts shackled to a science fiction writer. FICTION is right there in his title.
Anyway, I've veered a little off topic here. My point is this: Elbert Hubbard is the uncle of L. Ron Hubbard who founded Scientology which is the religion of Tom Cruise who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.
