7. My reference to spiritual leaders being "boring" was from...
the perspective of the MSM, which, when it isn't openly Repug-controlled, is only interested in the bottom line--corporate profits. They, the MSM, are in the infotainment industry; they need an audience, and they'll do what it takes to get one.

That's why repellent figures like Falwell and Robertson are presented to us as "spiritual leaders" when anybody with a brain can see them for the clowns they are. Although, admittedly, dangerous clowns.They are part of the contingent of court jesters that the MSM parades before us on "talking head" shows under the guise of being fair and balanced. It's all just good theater.

A serious spiritual leader has no role to play in their carefully scripted performances. A serious spiritual leader would upset the apple cart by challenging the status quo.
