Link to Wiki article on George Rekers - if anyone deserves such scorn and public disgrace,
Rekers is it. He is a totally self serving conscienceless liar and a fraud in many ways.
Take time to read the article-find what you have missed about this piece of shit, Reverend Doctor GeorgeRekers:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Alan_Rekers

He is a disgusting human being.

1. Yep, they almost all follow the same pattern. Why many Americans are so slow to
see the common behavior is beyond me. Thump a bible, persecute people, talk about sinners, show some credentials and for many this creates a ready audience. And the money trail that follows. Many in this country are so damn gullible and always ready to trounce the rights of others.

3. I would call it charlatan psychosis IMO. As to a formal name I don't know. I've never
been a fan of labels as it seems to me many areas are gray. It seems we now see a lot of similar behavior occurring that are often destructive to one group or another as the target. I think their behavior is reinforced by feelings of moral superiority. To me, there is a common core of traits no matter which group is the target.

4. I agree there is some group of symptoms there - look no farther than
Dr. Phil for some of them. The self-promoters preying on the troubled, helpless and ignorant as well as the use of religion for justification is very much of a pattern.
And money /power is ALWAYS involved...
