No not really. But check this out:
For those of you who haven’t seen Battlefield Earth (i’m sure theres only a few). It is a movie based upon the novel written by L. Ron Hubbard. For those of you who don’t know Mr. Hubbard, he is the founder of Scientology.
While admittedly I don’t know anything about Scientology other then Tom Cruise and John Travolta (the original JT) are Scientologists. In my mind this would be a red flag if I were considering converting. Do you really want to be worshiping the teachings of a man who writes Science-Fiction novels in his free time? I personally have never thought that I wanted George Lucas to be my moral compass, and the Star Wars movies were actually successful.
While this film actually is not about Scientology, at least they were able to pull together a star-studded cast; Whitaker, Pepper, Travolta to put together a movie hailed as, “one of the worst movies ever made.”
Furthermore, it also helps to show ho much ground Scientology has to make up on Christianity because Mel Gibson and The Passion of the Christ killed it at the Box-Office.
****If any of our avid Scientologist readers would like to straighten me out, please feel free to do so. I accept whatever spell you are going to put on me.
