Or the Scientologists, that their hero and founder, L. Ron Hubbard was a *science fiction* author! SMH.
It just beggars belief that these people eat that shit up. However, I was a member at a website many years ago, where a guy, on a lark, went into a second hand store and bought a red kaftan and turban. He proceeded to walk around offering prophecies. He gained an entourage (whether believers or not wasn't said). One person he read her palm, and claimed that someone she loved would die within some period of time. When she got upset, he told her the scam, but she declaimed it, and claimed that he was only trying to save her feelings. There are people ready to believe anything told to them, even with a logical explanation.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
