I'm talking more about how much power they have over their followers. Not just in mind manipulation but in political manipulation. I'm also curious about how they could stage a Public Relations war against the Gates's and their cause. Given how they failed horribly (and continue to do so) at dealing with the sex scandals I don't think they will be able to go far in the secular world but with the religious, that may be different. I don't know. I'm curious.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
