Bart Simpson Is A Scientologist
Who knew? The voice actress Nancy Cartwright, famous for voicing Bart Simpson, is apparently massively into Scientology. She is originally a midwestern girl from Ohio, but she bought into the religion in a big way after making it in Hollywood.
Last year she gave over $10 million to the Church of Scientology to help spread the word of L. Ron Hubbard across the universe (earth apparently isn’t a big enough conquest to work towards). That’s twice as much as Tom Cruise has given in recent years (although his $5 million could be far more, he’s simply been given awards for two $2.5 million contributions).
Page Six managed to get ahold of a Scientology magazine called “Impact” that listed celeb donations. Here are some others:
Kirstie Alley, 57, Diamond Meritorious Award: $5 million.
John Travolta, 53, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
Kelly Preston, 45, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
Priscilla Presley, 62, Patron Award: $50,000.
Nancy is a pretty wealthy woman, reportedly making about $5.5 million a year, but even at that salary level a $10 million donation is a huge chunk of change. How brainwashed must she be to give almost two years of salary to an organization like the Church of Scientology?

Scientology wizard L. Ron Hubbard was a science FICTION writer, Nancy. Still having trouble connecting the dots? Do yourself a favor and watch the SOUTH PARK Tom Cruise/Scientology episode.
The Scientology organization can call itself a church and a religion a million times a day until Amy Winehouse celebrates 25 consecutive years of sobriety, and that still won’t make Scientology a church or a religion.
The Scientology organization defines itself as a religion in order to persuade the IRS to grant Scientology tax exempt status. The IRS, unfortunately, accepts the definition. Germany has the good sense to reject the definition and perhaps someday the IRS will do the same.
Scientology, at best, is a philosophy for living that makes sense to many people. A philosophy, Nancy, is not a religion but if Scientology makes you happy then by all means believe whatever you want and give the organization all the money you choose. Remember, though, that Scientology to cynics and skeptics is the fanciful, private joke creation of a moderately successful science fiction writer for whom Scientology may have been merely a calculated scheme to solicit and receive money from emotionally vulnerable people.
Love your Bart Simpson, Nancy.
