I was thinking about my game and I came to a conclusion then when I hold a very strong belief whatever it is I tend to influence others and make them believe it too.
There is some truth to that. Charles Manson, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshal Applewhite, Sun Myong Moon etc etc are all good examples of that and they all got a lot of pontang even while they were preaching abstinence to their followers (well except for Manson, he believed in pontang for everyone that followed him)
People do want to believe in something and there are people that are really drawn to people that have powerfull convictions and will follow them in their convictions even if conventional wisdom points to the exact opposite.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, just a lot of potential for abuse when you are dealing with strong charismatic people with evil intent and weak-willed followers that have no moral compass of their own.
