create mindless followers?
In other words...if you believe so strongly in a religion, do you block out reality?
These people did...
In Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978, followers of the Rev. Jim Jones killed a visiting congressman and three newsmen, then administered cyanide to themselves and their children in a 900-person suicide that shocked the world.
So why is it any differnet with Christians? If your Pastor said...I have received word from Heaven that the Devil is visiting tomorrow, and he is going to burn and rape you. The only way out is to kill ourselves first...what would you do? If you followed his word faithfully to that day, why would or wouldnt you follow now?
