    I actually think NSC could have made an even stronger point by taking Scientology as the example and not Voltronism. Just think of it, criticising Scientology makes you a believer in it. Or even better, criticising Atheism makes theists unvercover atheists? Argh, I am getting strangled in the web of coherentism.

      Scientology would have been a good "religion" to choose because it's just as whacky and bizarre as worshipping Voltar. The truly scary thing is, people actually do consider Scientology a true religion.

Think about the miracles that were created by god, he had superior technology that existed to create magnamanous occurences in human life. They're here on earth now dronning around, watching us, making sure were safe. They'll reveal themselves with either vengence or hope.
