I'm actually surprised this is shocking. I read a book about four years ago about false Messiah's, and it would seem that "Jesus" reincarnated over 50 times, over the past 300 years, lol. Those were the ones that were documented...
Megalomaniacs don't want to be Napoleon Bonaparte. That go for the gusto ...... they want to be Jesus! No one, in their minds, can be more important & powerful than them if they're Jesus.
Ha.
I still can't get over the fact that the dude looked like a car salesman.
