The shocking deaths in a Ugandan cult are not new in human history. There have always been such true believers who will be misled into a forecast of the early end of the world.
Citizens ought to be aware of their methods.
Often they may be those of sincere and earnest believers, but every so often they are tinctured with fraud by those who know that is a way of divesting believers of their property, and even their lives. The Christian faith, like the Muslim faith, has always had its eccentricities and probably always will have. It is almost impossible to distinguish between the hyper-enthusiasms of real religious devotees and the culpable frauds of those who know how to use ideological arguments to persuade people. What is astonishing about the Ugandan catastrophe is the shear number. It is unbelievable that this number of people could have been involved over so many days and could have been victimized by those who obtained their funds and then their lives.
