Basically it's just Socrates' "Allegory of the Cave" all throughout history. We have a set of people who define themselves as "the good", "messiah", "the elite", and their counterpart, the "bad", "devil's advocate" etc. While the question that will always be asked is "Do the people want to be saved?" No. The just want to enjoy life as is, believing a lie instead of the cold hard truth. That's it, false sense of accomplishments that will give them glory, happiness, and a reason to get up in the morning. Nothing more, nothing less.
