Nicole Kidman: No more Scientology for my kids

April 18th, 2008 // 115 Comments

Nicole Kidman’s two children that she adopted with Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor, are apparently balls deep in Scientology. Nicole, who’s Catholic, has had enough and wants her kids pulled out of the church that L. Ron built. And by built I mean made up. Page Six reports:

At the New York premiere of Ian Halperin’s film, “His Highness Hollywood,” a Scientology insider told Halperin that Kidman “wants her kids out of the church.” Halperin beat up on the faith in his book, “Hollywood Undercover,” and said he wasn’t surprised when, during the premiere, “the projector had been sabotaged.”

Nicole Kidman would rather have the kids follow a more realistic religion like Catholicism. You know, the one where a dude in a pointy hat tells people want to do from a balcony in Italy. But at least with Catholicism they don’t brainwash you to give up ridiculous amounts of cash. They just guilt you into it. Huge difference.*

    Even though it was a joke, calling that dude a negro in that Heidi post was stupid. Don’t fucking make it worse by starting to knock religion..

    Also, I’m kinda curious as to what Nicole Kidman thinks she’s gonna do about it when she couldn’t even take the kids WITH her.

    I never was much of a Nicole Kidman fan, but DAMN she looks pretty hot here! Scientology is for the whackos and it doesn’t surprise me most of hollyweird is into it. You can mock us Catholics all you want, but we NEVER want to eat the placenta. Or how ever you spell it.

    Most importantly, Tom Cruise and Nicole are both still going to hell. You know, because the Church says in either case that two men shouldn’t have sex…

    Only drawback to being Catholic is that if you’re an altar boy you pretty much spend all your time protecting yourself by keeping your butt to the wall when the priest is around.

    Imus was playing “Benny and the Jets” in honor of the Pope’s arrival today. He is set to chastise the UN on our stance against admitting illegals with impunity, yet oddly silent when we offer to send all those burro jockeys over to the Vatican for permanent residence.

    So yes, you dont eat a placenta, you’re just told to offer your virgin daughter to your neighbor if you’re fighting. Or listen to a burning bush, or turn rivers to blood. Like there’s a big fucking difference between any of them

    I’m no fan of Catholicism, but I’ll take a catholic over a scientologist cult member any day. Unless their a priest who rapes children and doesn’t have to go to jail for it. But really, apples and oranges. Catholicism, whether you like it or not, is not a cult, and scientology is.

    Makes me wonder.. that guy who is outing scientology in his upcoming video.. I wonder how long it will be until we hear that he’s died in a car crash or disappeared or something.

    “But at least with Catholicism they don’t brainwash you to give up ridiculous amounts of cash. They just guilt you into it. Huge difference.”

    You mean, at least Catholicism isn’t know to forcing children to do manual labor, take children out of already dysfunctional schools that get people in trouble when they study things outside of Hubbard, and force them to separate from their families. Then when you try leave, stalk and harass you- then try to humiliate you by telling you all the secrets from forced confessionals that come at hundreds by the hour. All religions have their share of bullshit, but Scientology not only takes it extremes, it’s institutionalized.

    All religion is a joke and the Fish’s post was funny. Look, if you want to believe in a religion (any religion) go right ahead, whatever works for you is fine with me. But, they are all “cults” it is just that some have become main stream. Even Christianity was considered a cult when it was first brought up. If you want to believe in a God that is great, but organized religion is a joke.

    @37, last paragraph

    Kind of sounds like the Catholic church, except it’s an altar boy instead you fucking idiot. How many times has Benedict given speeches since he’s been in the US about how ashamed he is about the mass rapings by the priests, give me a break

    Her face looks like crap, anyone who’d do that to themselves FOR MORE MONEY i.e. to keep her career going, probably doesn’t have the intellectual wear-with-all to confront Tom and the Scientologists. Your kids are already damaged, Sweetie, much like your face.

    And all you religion and Catholic bashers, you’ve learned your neo-Marxism really well, congratulations. You’re above needing moral rules to live, you would never descend into something as tawdry as religion. All those countless generations of boobs – like your grandmother and grandfather – only existed for what? To show YOU how superior you are in rejecting them? Some of you have raised cynicism to a religion, ever think?

    The problem is people do not take the time to learn about science and history. Churches have been corrupt since day 1 and they control people by giving them the fear of the unknown with heaven and hell.

    Nicole is pretty and I hope she has continued success with her personal and famous life.

    For all you “keep religion out of it” people – good luck with that. You’re all in denial. The world is being Islamicized and the inevitable embedded extremists are making sure that it’s the brand that subjugates secular aspects of life as well. Possibly the U.S. will the last Christian country to be kneecapped, but possibly not, given all our freedoms (which will work against us in this case), and the fact that one Islamic has twice the passion and commitment as 10 Christians . Europe’s already toast, ditto Africa and obviously the Middle East. Asia will take longer but it’s already being infiltrated.

    So get all that criticism and hostility out while you can (but no cartoons!), because a kid born now will not be permitted to express anything but respect and worship to All@ah by the time he or she is an adult.

    Bashing aside, please quit being a holier-than-thou ass. Morals have nothing to do with religion, and nonreligious people can be moral.

    Larry Craig.. he’s religious, but would you call him moral?

    So please.. quit using your religion to excuse your ignorance. It might work for you, but all you end up doing is making religion look bad to those who already dislike it. You are no more moral than a nonreligious good person.

    My daughter is 12 and is an Athiest because she goes by science and not by faith. She is genuine and good hearted. Her Christian friends bring their Bibles to school and announce to my daughter that all Athiests are going to hell. She tells them to quit involving her with their make believe friends, but most of the time she tries to ignore them.
