You can find nearly anything human in Los Angeles, good and bad. I don’t think it would be workable as a city without mental therapy. - Greg Bear

Whom could I blame?
Ultimately, one man who had started a strangely secular church, attracting people good and bad, faithful and cynical, starting an organization too large and too well-financed and organized to simply fade: promulgating a series of lies become sacred truths. How often had that happened in human history, and how many had suffered and died?

Institutions, like any organism, hate to die.

When evenly matched, you cannot win against your enemy unless you understand them. And if you truly understand, why are you fighting and not talking?
