Religious Irony on Dallas Top 40

"Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" is the morning show for KHKS 106.1 "KISS" FM, a popular Top-40 station here in Dallas that's also popular with my wife for their support of her favorite musician, Elliot Yamin. As such, it graces our clock radio and tends to wake me on a regular basis.

Although there's usually some ridiculous conversation in progress when the alarm trips, this morning's was especially interesting and ironic. The group was discussing the recent viral video of Tom Cruise blathering on about Scientology, which they had placed on their website. Show member "Kellie Rasberry" [sic] was defending his comments in the video, with the argument that all religious people think that they have the Answer, so she didn't think he should be criticized.

That alone tickled me awake, but then she offered the following case in point, which I'll paraphrase:
"Everyone thinks Tom Cruise is crazy for thinking that aliens live inside each of us, but as Christians we believe that the Holy Spirit lives inside us, so is he really so crazy after all?"
Oh, the irony, it is so delicious...

I went to look at the video, but YouTube has posted a notice to the effect that "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International"

Interesting, isn't it, that the crazier they are the more protective they are of their insanity...

That's a nice one!

It looks like Kellie's comment was the kind of accident at which only Tom and others like him can really help!

He really has 'it' to help us.....
only, that would be an infringement of a copyright law, so he can't.
What is this guy selling? Another mission impossible?

Tom doesn't seem to do so well with out a written script.
I've never heard anyone use so many words to say absolutely nothing. I think Scientology has finally twisted his mind into a huge pile of quivering bullshit. Actually it's quite sad to see a person like him become such a blithering idiot.
Oh well..........

What I've always said: Christianity isn't any sillier than Scientology, or Wicca, or Islam.....or believing in the tooth fairy.

They all make exactly the same amount of sense to me.
