The power of fanatism!

I saw yesterday on a portuguese channel a documentary named: Jonestown - The biggest mass suicide in the history.
I was indeed very impressionated. Check the all story in the wikipedia.

This is Jim Jones, the mentor of the cult and the responsable for the mass forced suicide. We have to give him same credits, he built a huge cult out of nothing, his oratory must had been great, to say the least...

Jonestown afther the colectiv suicide.

The story is well knowed in the U.S.A.

The fanatism can show many faces, it appears not only in religion! It is on politic, it is on sports, it is on ideologies, it is on belives... We have to be aware, so we dont let the Jim Jones of the world lead us to a place of no return.
