People those days are desperately looking for support and for someone who will tell them the truth. The society is not able to give them enough stability and they are lost.
Surprisingly or not the truth is starting to be a new business for a lot of people. in fact, why starting? It has always been a business. Crazy organizations are thinking of a marvelous story and make it part of the reality. Offering the truth and of course salvation. "Salvation" is the magic word. People are lazy to analyse and use their own brains to search and consider the truth. It is much more confirtable to follow and obey.
I heard of the new Sai Baba in India who is considered to be a holy man, reincarnation of one of the indian's Gods. He lives in a palace, driving his ass in Lamborghini, heavy of gold and of course offering salvation. Are people really so blind? Or they are afraid?
Nobody teaches them to think and to open their eyes. Where are the borders for the belief?

When people get desperated, they look for anyone who can make them hope; they unfortunately use people’s naivity to fulfill their ambition and to get a fortune.

Where Sai Baba is concerned, it’s actually much worse than that. Feel free to click on my sit elink to find out.
Nice blog anyhow, I agree with the main points.

“He lives in a palace, driving his ass in Lamborghini, heavy of gold and of course offering salvation.”
Come on. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Sathya Sai Baba does not drive in a lamborghini, heavy of gold.
Funny how those who want others to know the “truth” often resort to gutter untruths themselves.
