Neither Will Smith nor any other individual owes the world an explanation of their religious beliefs. He seems to be a very sensible guy. If he chooses to be a Scientologist, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew or whatever, that is his business. This whole thing is a red herring egged on by gossips for no good reason.

Truly a poor excuse for a researched story. How do you know that Anon members didn't make bomb threats? If there is no centralized leadership, how can you verify this? And why bother incorporating the response from the C of S spokesperson in your story, rather you relegate it to a link. I was at the event that also told of the establishment of the Harlem and Zimbabwe organizations. Rather than your contention that some minority is being targeted, the entire context was how to help areas that had a high incidence of social ills, drug abuse and illiteracy. Your ignorance of the theology of Scientology (you got the creation "myth" wrong also, which is publicly available in Hubbard's books and is called "The Factors"....and your bias in relying solely on individuals who have left the Church relegates this story to poorly written tabloid. Oh and I didn't see any mention of the nine new Churches just purchased and under renovation internationally to handle the growth of Scientology. Check back in say a year or two and compare notes, you'll find unprecedented expansion of Scientology globally.
