Lord Tom?

I wish I were making this up, but it is actually true:

Tom Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.

The Mission: Impossible star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.

And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshiped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion. MORE

Now I can believe there are people out there nutty enough to worship Tom Cruise. What I would really like to know is whether Mr. Cruise really thinks of himself this way. From what I have heard about him recently, it isn't that far-fetched.
