All the cult leaders who claim to be God/Jesus never have any powers. If I join your cult, and you claim to be Jesus, you'd be better be ready to do some magic.

Anyone see the HBO documentary "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God"?
All the woman did was drink and turn blue and couldn't even heal herself.

Yup. The requirement of "faith" is a sure sign of charlatanism.
It's a funny thing, when you think about it. If you were truly God, you wouldn't need to prove it; you could just make it so everyone believes you.
Not if "believe" from the followers is some kind of cosmic energy that powers the gods or defines their hierarchy, a pandimensional twitter subscription counter of sorts. In that case the last thing you want is to prove your existence as a god, because as soon as your existence is proven all believe will pop out of existence and will be replaced with knowledge of the existence.
Believe is only possible when the thing to believe in is vague and unknowable, you can't by definition ever believe in the existence of anything that you are sure of.
That's composing quite an edifice of unprovable postulation to reverse engineer faith. "A" for effort!
Thanks, that's so sweet π
