Does it depend on how much money you have?
Or is it all about publicity?
I know it usually goes -
crazy man,
crazy man being followed around by weak-minded people,
cult,
cult oppressed by the government and society,
sneaky politician (or warrior king) who uses the cult to further his career,
social acceptance of the cult,
mandatory membership in the cult for all of society,
Holy war,
Inquisition,
Schism,
genocidal attempt to get rid of cult,
return to 'promised land',
annihilation of indigenous people to make room for true believers, TV movie of the week.
Is there a way to skip through some of these steps so I can see the TV movie of the week about my cult's struggles?
(Not looking for a Branch Davidian thing though.)

Lots of writing just to ask a simple question.
Here is a simple answer, Society already has taken it seriously.
When God spoke to those chosen on earth, Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, Paul, etc. he inspired them to work for the good and endurance of peace among mankind.
You can believe in what you want, but this was handed down to live on through generations. Sorry, no cameras or video recorders were invented yet to capture it for you.
When you get serious about religion, real religion, people will take you serious too. No money is needed.
