Celebrity Scientology

[Giant Robot]

So by now we all have heard about Isaac Hayes leaving South Park, and according to one of its creators, it was because of South Park ripping on Scientology. What I am curious about is why do so many celebrities get into Scientology and stay so die hard in it?

From Tom Cruise to John Travolta to Jenna Elfman to Isaac Hayes. What is it with this religion and what hold do they have on these people? Given an objective eye, any religion can sound goofy, but Scientology? C'mon it was created by a bad sci fi writer. And from what I have heard, this sounds almost goofiest of them all. Yet these people cling to it like I can scarcely understand.

So there you have it lounge. Why are the celebrities going to Scientology like moths to a flame?
