- You're not alone, the gnostics looked at this 'Philip K. Dick' inverse
- reality -- and remember that Satan is also called "the Great Deceiver",
- and what would be the biggest lie than to create a false religion. It's
- a more deep theological concept than the churches dare to look at today,
- mostly because it's very hard to counter-attack such constructs. Unless
- you call people believing in this heretics and burn them, of course :-).
