including dying----that would cause his followers to turn away from him.

If he died they would gleefully await his resurrection and line up to buy his "post-Earthtime" trinkets, T-shirts and gadgets.

They are humanoid in form, but lacking any semblance of intelligence or rational thinking.

They are never going to suddenly REALIZE REALITY. Their opinions and their minds will never be changed by events, facts or truth.

Expecting them to "come around" is like thinking your dog might someday learn to drive your car.
