Reply #65: I don't want to dig into your pain.

[merh]

What you just posted explains it all. You have been burned and you were inspired and you feel betrayed. You had that cult connection with someone who was charismatic and they let you down.

You have personalized this all way to much. You are saddling others with your fears and/or failings.

People can be inspired by another more than they are inspired by dead folks or folks who exist in books and memories, like Jesus, Buddha and Mohamed.

Being inspired by another does not equal worship and does not mean that there exists any "cult of personality" like you write about or fell for.

And I'm sorry, but thinking my debating you on an issue that is based on irrational understandings which originate from your emotional baggage is bizarre is just another sign that you are projecting your emotions and failings on others.

You are too personally involved in this whole notion of cult personalities and worship and charisma to reasonably view the issue let alone to fairly judge others.
