Tom Cruise is at the top of the list of “People Who Need to Go Away.” I’m so sick of him being in the news EVERY STINKING DAY!!!!

I personally wasn’t surprised at Cruise’s rumored discussion of Johansson with Scientology. I was trying to feign mock surprise as an attempt at humor. Do the research.

Not meaning to split theological hairs, but how are you defining evangelize and proselytize?
Is there a difference?

The word evangelist comes from the Greek word (”eu-aggelos”) for ‘bringing good news’.
What ‘good news’ do you see Scientology bringing?

And if there isn’t a ‘good news’, shouldn’t we be concerned about fellow humans being deceived?

Shannon, the tone of this post sounds a little “surprised” (if I may) that Cruise may have “recruited” (evangelized or proselytized?) Johansson to Scientology. But if this was evangelicalism that we were discussing, would things be different? What if Evangelical Actor was setting up “Christian Tents” with a volunteer minister during the filming of a Spielberg movie? Would this be considered ok? Do the rules change if said faith is Christianity rather than Scientology?

I’d be interested in your thoughts.
