I tend to agree. In my opinion, Cruise embodies an extreme interpretation of Scientology - and like many extremists, does not hesitate to attack others who do not hold his views. But to place responsibility for his actions squarely on the shoulders of the Church of Scientology goes a bit far. Cruise made his own choices based on his own extremist views. He made his own bed, and he can lie in it - just like the rest of us have to do.
