It's not so much that I'm saying her religion is anything like the Manson Family, I just used the "Family" as proof that it isn't that hard to brainwash adults, children are far easier, I'm sure.
I meant no disrespect to any religion, not even Bree's.
I'd be hard pressed to find any similarities other than the use of the word
"cult". a religion tampers with your faith, your core, who you are...and a "family" is a lot of people buying into one lead guy about anything he says...it could have nothing to do with religion, faith, or your soul..like in Manson's case, they bought his whacked out theories about the coming race war, they thought they would live deep in the canyon to survive...and they were all stoned-out of-their-minds hippies who just wanted to fit in with someone. It was an execise in puttting one type A personality with a bunch of lost kids. Bree's religion is way more complex, I feel. It has been around for posssibly decades...maybe in some form or another, for centuries. It is organized. It is efficient. It's no Manson Family joke "cult". I'm quite certain Bree's religion does use some trype of control on her Brainwashig, correcting..etc.) Manson didn't really do that...not professionally. He just sought out individuals whom he knew he could control...and he made a lot of promises.
Me and my key...same as it ever was.
