I see him as someone who really believes in what he believes in. I do believe such a thing is unhealthy because it essentially closes one's mind to the outside. It's easy for me to say this, of course, because I'm not religious and I have a science background, but I can understand how such a thing can occur.

There is nothing wrong with believing in something, as long as things are not taken literally. Children believe in Superman and that is not unhealthy as long as a) they don't attempt to fly themselves or b) they do not lock themselves in this world. Superman's ideals could well be good for children to model themselves after, although Superman himself is probably best left unemulated.

An SP is a Suppressive Person, someone who attacks Scientology (for example, the Church of Scientology may classify Anonymous as an SP). Tom Cruise believes there will come a time when SPs are history. With all due respect, Mr. Cruise, the backlash against the Church of Scientology suggests that this isn't going to go down without a fight. Many people don't realise that there has been somewhat of a war against Scientology ever since its inception circa 1960.

Katie Holmes does not see her parents as often as she would like because of Disconnection - the process at which a Scientologist renounces all contact with an SP. See Disconnection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on Wikipedia.

There is a note, though, that Tom Cruise apparently holds no position within Scientology. He's not even their top donor. It just turns out he's probably the best-known Scientologist and as such people easily jump to conclusions.

Is he mad? Usually, when someone throws everything into something with the intent of doing good, it is to be admired. But I disagree with some of the principles he throws himself into. To me, it just seems weird.*
