Or they truly believed in their own con. How much they believe and how willing they are to die for their cause does not make their tales true to any degree. Their martyrdom can comfortably be dismissed when presented as evidence to back their claims.

So, apparently whatever the people who died in Jonestown believed in must have been super double true. All of them were willing to go to their deaths. Islam and Christianity can't hold a candle to that!
