He must know that the Church of Scientology has their members sign a contract that says the Church can inflict bodily harm against them. He must know that they operated glorified concentration camps in European countries. If he wants to discuss these things, do it. But do it in a better way than saying Scientology is right, psychiatry is evil, just take vitamins and exercise and all will be well with you. He's glorifying it and that's dangerous, imo.
I agree with you in the sense that he should own anything resulting from his posting his beliefs. I guess my point is who would be dumb enough to stop taking medicine because Tom Cruise says to do so - but I suppose such sheep exist, which is far scarier than anything coming out of Tom Cruise's mouth.
