I never read "The God-Men." I read "The Mind-Benders" and was not impressed, and more or less assumed that "The God-Men" was of the same quality. I was wrong.

Reading these quotes by NeitherFirstnorLast, I think it is safe to say that "The God-Men" is the best examination of Lee and his teachings ever published, and should be taken seriously. It's not perfect, but it is not libelous. At least if these quotes are any indication.

Note how Lee and LSM dealt with Duddy's honest, well-considered examination. They sued the parties responsible for it. And they did not win the case. "The God-Men" was never found libelous by a court of law. Duddy and SCP could not afford to go to court. Lee, et al, bullied them into submission by using the mammon of unrighteousness. That's about as bad as it gets.

LSM principle clearly is If you don't have the resources to play with us in court, then we have to conclude and expect others to conclude your evaluation of us must be false. In other words, when push comes to shove with them, it's all about the money.
