Ok, I'll use logic. Did Christ, Paul, Peter, John, or any of the church fathers use DA to prevent criticism? How about Luther (on a beer binge he might have), Calvin, ... let's skip hundreds of years... Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, the last John Paul Pope?

It seems that only crazies like David Koresh, Sun Yun Moon, Jim Jones, and many others play this kind of card. Why would anyone (like Lee, Née, the blindeds) want to be associated with that kind of cultish practice?
