Michael had put a lot of pressure on his followers, especially when it came to Judgment Day and eternal damnation.

And he also warned that only a few could be saved, as we mentioned.

And the few spots in heaven were only reserved for those who fervently spread the word of God and lived by his teachings.

Right.

It's just, and it puts it in a perspective.

Like I was joking where it's like, Oh, my anxiety comes from.

Cause I was taught about paternal damnation when I was a child, but it wasn't portrayed in this type of way because yes, it was very real.

But instead it was like flipped to a more positive approach.

It was like, but there's also heaven.

And as long as you follow Jesus's teachings and you be a good person, you don't have to worry about hell.

You know, that's kind of how it was conveyed to me.

But in this it's extremely manipulative because it's the whole focus is on hell and redemption is like, no, only really, only if you get in here and it's going to be really tough road to get, to get into heaven.

We're all right down here in the mud.

As long as you get your ass to confession and you truly minute, then, you know, you can be saved.

It's not like this.

You cannot fuck up your you.

You better toe the line or else you're immediately going to hell to the point where they think like a thunderstorm comes along and they think they're going to die any moment.

Yes.

I think he's definitely a narcissist and a manipulator, but I think he might even be to the point where he's like just agreeing with his own delusions.

Yeah.
