Jim Jones didn't get his followers to follow him to the koolaid pitcher with drugs, and he has a couple thousand, and you don't believe Christ picked tweleve guys to be His disciples without mind-altering drugs? Furthermore, there is no reason to believe this was the case.
Additionally, Chuck's family weren't following him because of hallucinogenics; they followed him because eh was charismatic, and they were weak-minded, gullible morons.

negativenihil, it will be off topic but your avatar disturbed my firewall, its link directs the firefox to connect to the avatar image through port 8090 (http:// accessdenied.org.nyud.net:8090/~zero/ats.jpg ) what happened to good old port:80. it would be better if it wouldnt try to use a non-standard port so the viewers including me could tame their net security paranoias more easily.
