I think the reason for that is because it's so framed by the Bible that Lee's Oriental mythology is not easily recognized. The Bible masks it.
You don't get to see the "real Lee" until you are waaaaay into the forest. That's the problem. It all seems so Bible-based, because it's carefully presented to hide the "rest of the story". Then at some point they tell you something that is totally at variance with the Bible, and by then you have a hook in your mouth.

Even the stuff that's directly from the Bible is way unbalanced. It's like they obsess on 10% of the text, use 20 or 30% to prop up their obsession, distort another 20 or 30% to pretend to complete the picture, and ignore the rest. If you quote them a verse that's not covered by "the ministry", they just stare blankly at you as if you're speaking Swedish.
