Sho nuff, I rckon it can be...

...but, fotunatrely, it doesn't have to be.

I am a Christain who sees nuthin' in common with the what Bush and his followers brand of Christianity. Don't make no sense to never open the Bible up past the Old Testament.

But, yes, it can very much take over one's mind in a negative way. Actually, I think that these folks may not be mentally ill but "consumed" with a need to be part of something and just get caught up in some bad stuff. Think of the Brownshirts in Germany. Were they mentally ill? Maybe and maybe not... Bu they sure were consumed and eat up by the "Movement"...
