And the numbers are still growing.

But, because they live within a mindset that rejects common truths, they're doomed to ultimate failure.

Ultra-religious societies have never fared well in history if they insist on propagating their cultures to the world at large.

Notice the Mennonite or Amish communities. They thrive because they reject the outside world and look inward. They don't proselytise to the outside world.

This is just part of a cycle, like the evangelical movements of the early 20th Century, a response to a rapidly-changing world. Eventually, people adapt, and look to more practical solutions to everyday life.

The only thing I fear today is that their numbers will grow to a point where they can do real damage before the next 'correction' cycle.
