I think the plan is to take over all the religions for control and if they can't they eliminate the leaders just as they do in other nations, and put one of their "corrupters" in to pollute and destroy connection to the creator. Why must they always try to "CONtrol" every aspect of our lives, when we do not belong to them and were not put here by them. If they tampered with us, then surely the higher God above them have kicked them out for doing so, and will recover what is the Creator's. The fight for a corrupt soul, is a hard battle. Most churches won't approach it because they are only interested in whether the soul that reached out, can pay the tithe.
I call them now conniving corrupters of the soul. I'll be so glad when this hurdle is hopped;)
