If it wasn't something they really think, it's be almost funny. The more I learn about Scientology the more it makes me angry. DH spent a few years studying various religions and he found Scientology to be fascinating (in a train wreck kind of way). Katie has a long row to hoe ahead of her trying to escape.
Yes, the DIS Suri Cruise thread was originally started as a fun spoof. A way for us DISers to pass the time, snarking in fun.
I think most of us actually liked Tom Cruises movies. We originally didn't have anything against him. I certainly watched his stuff. I don't care if anyone is gay, what their religion is, who they marry or why.
But, then:
He jumps on the couch

declaring his undying love for Katie Holmes.
He attacks Brooke Shields for using medication during her post-partum depression AND goes off on Matt Lauer calling him glib.
He continues a very public relationship with Katie saying they don't have sex. The, Oops! she's pregnant. Another, massively public pregnancy. . .
They actually rent pregnancy monitoring equipment in her last few months of pregnancy and bring it to Cruise's HOME instead of going to the Dr.'s office to have the baby monitored. . .
Then the very REAL video links with stuff coming out of Tom's own mouth:

Scarlett Johansson's non-denial. . .
Penelope Cruz saying she can't speak for fear for her family members. . .
As well as putting up a Sci tent on his movie sets to recruit fellow actors & crew. . .
As well as many, many other research & links on Scientology facts that fellow DISers were able to dig up, along with verifying info backing that up. . .
And you have a thread that turned from snarky fun into strangely bizarre, then horrifying for Tom's kids, as well as for Katie & Suri as we know what will eventually come, from having watched Nicole go through the same stuff. It was like watching a horrible trainwreck, only real, not just entertainment anymore.
Oh yeah, all this is alleged of course.
