Some of your population is waiting on that hill for the rapture . It was ok a few centuries ago, almost everybody was in religious ignorance . Today , it is a problem to you , they are not quite what you want.. but you say , listen to them .
In 200 years time, they will still be on that hill , and society will have moved further on and they will be even further estranged .
Will anyone listen to them then . What date would you propose that they should still be listened too. Why should we not be listening to the advocates of the spanish inquisition today ?
The point is .. is it their opinion . Do you think it is ? . Do you think they all independently came to all these very same wrong conclusions. Why do they all think and say the same thing. Is that what you want to protect, the victims of brainwashing .
You need to look past that fiercely protecting thing , it's too emotional. You need to examine exactly what it is you are protecting .
I suspect you are protecting a narrow agenda being channeled through a lot of poor ignorant people .

I don't say listen to them. I say it is their Constitutional RIGHT.

Jim Jones died 30 years ago. I don't know what he has to do with this discussion. And I'm not really interested in what you think my agenda is. But unless you have something to contribute to the topic of the thread, please don't.
