You and Gentleman Bastard missed CL's point entirely. The disciples would have gone to their death knowing of their fraud. Heaven's Gates and Muslims do not know of any fraud. Apples and oranges.
Yeah this is what I was telling Min too.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
