Tom Cruise's scientology rant

Scientologists are trying to stop a bizarre leaked video of Tom Cruise ranting about his Scientology beliefs.



The four-year-old video has spread like wildfire across the internet with Cruise stating: 'If you're on board, you're on board, just like the rest of us. We are the authorities on getting people off drugs, we can rehabilitate criminals and unite cultures.'



Cruise's off the wall outburst is accompanied by a guitar riff from the theme tune to Mission Impossible. Dressed in a black polo neck sweater, its as if the actor is in character, ready to scale mountains and speed away in a fast car.



The actor has been a follower of Scientology for the last 20 years and believes that scientologists can save the world: 'Now is the time,' he states, and confesses he is 'dedicated' to taking Scientology to the masses. Brace yourselves..



Cruise's preaching then reaches new heights as he says: 'I have to tell you something, it is rough and tumble, and it's wild and woolly, and it's a blast, it's a blast, it really is fun because, dammit, there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see things are better.' Quite.

What on earth is Tom going on about, I think all this acting has gone to his head, he now does think he is a super hero.
What a load of bull.
