    Why are the cult leaders always like "let's kill ourselves and our children and go to heaven" and never "let's live a good life care about others and then go to heaven"

    The ones who kill themselves are either about to get shut down (Jonestown) or actual true believers themselves (Heavens Gate). The smart grifters don't add everyone's death to their cult lore (or put doomsday at some nebulous point in the future), and just continue to amass wealth (scientology).

    And he stayed behind, because of course he did. He should've gone to meet jesus for himself and left everyone else alone to follow their own journeys, but that's a foreign concept to many christian.

    Doomsday cult leaders are one of the dumbest grifters. As a parasite, why kill off your host?
