Subject: RE: BS: GOD and the SPIDER...
Exactly. Now what if the followers got it...just a wee bit wrong?

Supposing that I were to meet some hideous public end, martyred by a mob of local atheists, Christians, and Neo-Cons, due to my promotion of William Shatner, my belief in reincarnation, and my opinions regarding space aliens? Suppose further that some of my more enthusiastic backers decided to make me the centrepoint of a new faith! Suppose that they then perpetrated massive misunderstandings upon the World in my name for the next 2,000 years and basically took over much of the World for awhile and burned a lot of other people at the stake.

This would be, for me, quite unsettling. I might object to them calling themselves LittleHawkists or whatever name they chose... ;-)
