On Tuesday, ABC will be airing its “10 Most Fascinating People of 2005″ special, in which Tom Cruise is interviewed by Barbara Walters. Among the topics they cover, the “silent-birth” rumor (Tom says its “nutty”), and the couch-jumping incident on Oprah (Tom says he’ll always be jumping on couches and that all men should jump on couches, we agree). Charlotte.com covers the special.

And while I’m not going to defend Scientology I will say this: Strip away all the Judeo-Christian centrism and Scientology is really not that much weirder than the “major” religions. At least there’s no symbolic canibalism or vamprism. Or penis cutting… And again, this isn’t to defend Scientology or denigrate any other religion, just to point out the double standard in labelling Tom “batshit” for believing in it, while accepting walking on water and water to wine, wine to blog transmogrification.
