Most cult leaders become crazy.

They become crazy because their emotion drives them out.

Their emotion makes them become a fanatic.

Once they become a fanatic they then come with crazy ideas. Their ideas that only make sense to them. Heaven's Gate was a cult which took place in March of 1997. 39 idiots who let themselves be influenced into committing suicide, because they’d eventually reach a "spaceship." Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles claimed they were the ones mentioned in Revelation 11:3. Applewhite, in the 1970s, began to see visions and became obsessed with this verse which led him to fantasize in him being that character in the bible. In Revelation 11:3 says "And I will give power unto my witnesses; and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Marshall and Bonnie claimed they were those two witnesses, and by that obsession he had with one verse. This one verse can totally change a person who becomes a fanatic and lets there emotion drive them out the box.

Cults are a form of propaganda which influence people in positive or negative ways they misuse religion in many negative ways. Either with violence, war, or murdering innocent people. It hurts to see how a person can let their emotions drive them out the box. Cults can be caused by being too religious in a church or temple. They only practice and recite what they do, people become crazy in becoming fanatics, by becoming so religious. Instead of teaching them that a certain religion is a way of living, and that religion isn’t a practice. Religion should be a form of a personal relationship with God.
