Yeah, exactly. I doubt a scientologist would decorate with so many damned poppies, either.

Steven Segal is a tulku?

Wow… if that doesn’t rock your faith, I don’t know what will.

yeah i mean, if you read gaiman’s work, i would say he’s more like “us” than anything else

I don’t buy Gamain as a Scientologist, either.- he’s Jewish So is Leonard. I’m wary of these lists sometimes (like getting put down as a Wiccan for saying “thank goddess,” and so on) Nicole Kidman’s a Methodist, btw.

Tori Amos claims to be Gnostic leaning. Freddie Mercury from Queen was a Zoroastrian, but any new ones would be suspect because they don’t allow converts in orthodoxy. There are celebrity Thelemites- the bands Coil and ?? (it’ll come to me) are thelemic, and don’t forget Led Zeppelin (who were denied initiation but who are/were undeniably so alkl the same) In fact, I can think of a dozen thelemic music groups, although most suck. Genesis P-Orrige is a thelemite.

Jayne Mansfield and Sammy Davis Jr were Thelemites before goiung of with LaVey.

its also weird that nicole kidman was in one of the batman movies, and so is katie holmes. the scientology bug also seems to have spread through that 70’s show to at least include laura prepon

and then theres beck too, although this seems disputed:

and here’s a piece about one of the writers for the muppet babies and D&D cartoons being a scientologist and including their ideas in episodes. its nothing insane, but still interesting, as i watched both those shows

WHOA… neil gaiman is a scientologist? that list is INSANE. i wonder how much of it is accurate…

I’m pretty sure Uma Thurman is Buddhist (her dad’s a monk, or was)

I’d put Mel down as “Church of one” because he more or less built the damn thing himself, and his sect is not recognized by the Vatican)

Greta Van Susteran, Juliette Lewis are supposedly Scientologists, and I think Proscilla is as well?
