Who asked him, anyway?

Who died and left Tom Cruise my guru? Oh yeah--some alien. Forgot. Sorry. And now, no matter what my ailment, exercise and vitamins are sure to help me.
I normally refrain from saying anything about anyone else's belief system, but Tom Cruise and his fellow adherents are simply insufferable. Evangelical Christians get blasted for telling people how to live, for saying others' lifestyles are wrong or sinful. But Tom Cruise can spout his beliefs all he wants, to the point of advising people that exercise and vitamins can cure most mental illnesses and that psychiatry is a crock. He can even render an opinion on the medical treatment options of a woman not a member of his family. Regardless of one's feelings on the veracity of psychiatry as a science, his comments on someone else's treatment options were as inappropriate and unbecoming as they could possibly be.
As a Christian, I believe in God's healing power. I believe in miracles and that prayers for healing are answered. However, I also believe that doctors, nurses, counselors and therapists serve as God's hands to heal. Medication can be beneficial and help the healing process. I also think that vitamins and exercise are good things, as well as herbal supplements, provided they are used with common sense behind them. I'd even send someone for massage or acupuncture, or other alternative therapies, if these were safe and afforded the individual some relief. I believe in a God who works in many ways, and through many avenues.
But Cruise's actions were inexcusable. The New York Times may have called him a passionate, true believer, but I call him arrogant, pompous, self-important and narcissistic. His verbal attack on Matt Lauer, assuming that Lauer had not had any background in the history of psychiatry, was repugnant. My gorge rose as I heard his maniacal rhetoric. But that's the beauty of the First Amendment. He has the right to spout off like an idiot and I have the right to disagree with him.
I'm beginning to come around to the idea that Cruise is in desperate need of the services of the discipline he so roundly despises and denounces. He's starting to sound less like a rational, adult human being and more like someone who is losing his grip on reality. He comes off as a self-obsessed, ego-driven jerk.
He needs a large bottle of "get over yourself" tonic. Unfortunately, that is in critically short supply in his circle of disciples and associates.
