At this point it’s obvious you are just being intentionally oblivious because you are being confronted with ideas that conflict with your world view.No one can possibly be this obtuse unintentionally.

It’s really not as complicated as you trying to make it. These groups gain control over those they manage to attract into the group.

Duh

How can you not understand that? Do people have to spell every little detail out for you? Why do I have to connect every dot for you?

You would make a horrible detective. You could catch someone with a literal smoking gun next to a body with a fresh gunshot wound and still need someone to explain to you that the person holding the gun probably shot the person with that gun that fired a bullet and that’s what caused the gunshot wound.

Oh wait it’s none of that you are just doing what every believer does, dodge and weave around the issue to avoid having think critically about it because that is what you have been indoctrinated into. It’s the first thing they teach Christians, how to avoid critical thinking that might weaken blind faith.

Keep being intentional oblivious. It just proves my point.
