    He was someone who became obsessed with finding the 'truth' of the bible. He researched and studied so much that he fell into the trap of self-hypnosis, and thoroughly bought into all of his kinky conclusions. Through his passion, effective use of wealth, and superb powers of persuasion, he drew in others who were unsettled in their faith, and the cult was born.
