Oh this is so delicious. :nopity:

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has barred the makers of a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, the Defense Ministry said on Monday.

Berlin says it masquerades as a religion to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject.

Defense Ministry spokesman Harald Kammerbauer said the film makers "will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult."

4. Religion: Founder Dead MoreThan 100 Years; Cult: Leader Dead Less Than 50 Years

I think I read that on DU as a matter of fact, and I rather liked it.

3. I think that's great. Ausgezeichnet!

Tom Cruise is only slightly less annoying than Scientology itself, in my opinion.

7. Yep, we learned this in OrientationKurs, Scientology

is not recognized by Germany as a "religion."

Sorry Tom, pedal your garbage elsewhere. I cannot stand this little freak Cruise.

8. Personally, I believe all religions masquerade to make money.

9. Good, I only wish that all religions would be treated equally

remove their tax breaks, tax their properties properly, and so on. The world would be a much better place.
