Who Knew? Scientology Wedding Vows Include Cats . . .
I certainly haven’t been following news about the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes nuptials closely, since he’s insane and she must also be if she’s marrying him. But it’s hard to miss some of the headlines if you read . This morning one in particular jumped out at me, and it was intriguing enough that I even clicked through to the article:
The article includes portions of the wedding vows from TomKat’s Scientologist ceremony. Now, I usually don’t like to make fun of other religious beliefs, but I consider Scientology fair game, especially when they come up with vows as silly as these. I mean, they sound like Star Wars dialogue.
For example: “And do you ken that by the customs of our race you pledge to him, and only him, your kiss and your caress?”
And, for the kicker: “Now, Tom, girls need clothes, and food and tender happiness and frills. A pan, a comb, perhaps a cat. All caprice, if you will. But still they need them. Do you then provide? Do you?”
What on earth? Well, I guess that’s what you get when you let little green men come up with your vows.
