did you know that Jason Lee and Beck are Scientologists?

[mark414]

along with Chick Corea...Isaac Hayes...Doug E Fresh...Edgar Winter

:cry: :cry: :cry:

even Billy Burroughs, Leonard Cohen, and Van Morrison USED to be wackos...they all left the church though (and burroughs went on to say a nasty word or two about it)

1. I did. Freaky, yeah?

[REP]

2. I Knew About Most of Them

Beck being a $cientologist doesn't bother me for some reason ... I think "Nitemare Hippy Girl" is why.

[mad-mommy]

3. disappointing about Beck

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I did.

And I don't care, I love Jason and Beck anyway.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

5. Leonard Cohen?

That's really bizarre, since he's such a brilliantly cynical writer. Glad to hear he dropped out, thought.

6. That is the beautiful thing about the First Amendment.

People can believe whatever the fuck they want to believe.

Are you on a Jihad, mark414?

LONG LIVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT!!!!!!!

Support it.

Thanks, Floog.

[Floogeldy]

13. Muchas gracias, hombre del agua.

U da man! ;) :bounce:

7. Yes, and I am very disappointed with a few of them. It was, "Damn!"

"Oh no, not him!" You like to think certain people are too smart for that, but evidently not.

[Ava]

8. yup

already knew that. their religion will not and should not keep me from liking their music/movies.

[mark414]

10. if you can even call it a religion...

as it is not officially recognized as such

[Ava]

12. does that matter though?

their beliefs have nothing to do with the musical or acting abilities. i like them both and will continue to do so regardless of their religion, political affiliation, or any other part of their personal life.

[Floogeldy]

16. An officially recognized religion?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[jobycom]

18. You know, one approved by the religion cops.

Some people get to decide what others are allowed to believe and not allowed to believe.

[LaraMN]

9. Beck? Really?

Criminy.

:crazy:

[AspenRose]

14. So's Catherine Bell (of JAG fame)

I think Jenna Elfman is too.

:shrug:

[swag]

15. I enjoy Burroughs' writings about the scam, the slavery gimmick,

though have been repeatedly appalled through the years by his allegiance to the e-meter, and whatevs.

[jobycom]

17. Cool! You just talked me into trying it

If that many great people are Scientologists, it must be a great religion.
