        Prpbably the chain of reasoning OP follows:

        Watch Movie -> Studio gets Money -> Tom Cruise gets Money -> Tom Cruise donates Scientology Money

        I understand why they wouldn’t spend money on it, not watching it entirely is then just a more extreme form of this where you also don’t contribute to public interest in the movie

        I don’t even find him to be a good actor, too generic and cookie cutter. Not my cup of tea. I watch movie es to see different characters, not him doing the same thing. He WAS good, but all his more recent stuff is just the same role with a different name.

      Whilst all religions have bad actors, Scientology is a masterclass of bad actors. A bad Christian, Jew, Bhuddist etc., is clearly an outlier and doesn’t represent a faithfull. Scientolgoy charges fee’s to be a ranked member and has BS tech devices. As a whole, Scientology has bad eggs baked in across the board

        Does it really bother you that I think he’s a terrible actor and used religion as another reasoning…

        My boycott list is huge though…yeah. Walmart’s even on it
