There is NO difference between a cult and a religion.

The thing is we don't know the half of the crap that they fill those poor gullible people with.
He is so good at manipulating people, just look at him tonight, he mirrors peoples body language and facial expressions, and repeats back what is said to him, albeit worded slightly differently.
These are typical brainwashing(well hypnosis anyway) techniques. The man has skills Darren Brown would envy.
Laughter is infectious, just look at Steve and Rachel a few weeks ago. It also releases small amounts of endorphins into your system(which give you a nice tinglingly feeling). Now if your a vulnerable ex-druggie or alcoholic, and your sitting across from someone who is telling you that the tinglingly feeling is god(:joker:) entering your body, 9 out of 10 times our hypothetical ex-druggie or alcoholic, is going to buy it, and as they already have an addictive personality, they are going to want more more more.
Well some people are going to say, so what he's making them feel better and whats wrong with that.
Nothing....untill he starts asking for large donations, and trys to replace your family with gods(:joker:) family, i.e. god is your father, mary is your mother, the priests are brothers and nuns are sisters. (also a recognized brainwashing technique, used a lot by various religions and military establishments).
Give it ten years and he will have amassed a large following and will have convinced alot of people to give up there life savings sell there houses and donate the proceeds to this cult/religion, so they can purchase some land far far away from all of us "Haters". People will think he is a prophet (I mean ffs people already think he can predict whats going to happen next in the house).
His ego will be hugely inflated........next thing you know, here comes the kool-aid.
Who is to blame?
