I think they know they are engaging in deception, but they delude
themselves into thinking it is for a greater purpose. Also, they are
constantly buoyed up by their leagues of supporters, and there is the
financial rewards that come to them from donations, book sales, etc.
So whether it is greed, pride, arrogance, self deception or whatever, I
think it is inherent on the rest of us to expose them at every opportunity,
and bring their ministry of misinformation into the glaring light of day.
