We have no truck any longer with men in long black dresses, with books full of unbelievable factoids and fantasies, as guides for what is right and wrong. They cannot be ‘trusted’, they cannot be believed.

Now a new variety of ‘spiritual’ leader is arising to cheers from the grim faced populace. We are encouraged to accept everything they say; they 'know more than they can reveal', they are privy to the innermost secrets of dark and dangerous practices that we must be protected from. We cluster round them, anxious to hear more of their factoids and fantasies, as guides for what is right and what is wrong.

Can they be any more believed than the men in black dresses? Does it actually matter if their claims are any more believable than that of feeding the five thousand on five little fishes? Surely the 'good' that they are achieving in righting wrongs matters more than whether the back story that led them to prominence is accurate or a flight of fantasy?
