It is just fine to be a believer... but it is also just wrong to be a fanatic...

Again, the best way to save people if you must, is to be the example that catches their attention and sways them. Then you won't even have to try. How do you know you have the correct answer to LoA, when it has already been stated that no one really knows how it works?
The Roger Bannister's, Jesus's, Buddha's, D D Palmers, Einsteins and the like were and are extremists and fanatical in their approach. Thats why they are remembered, revered, followed and achieve what they did and do. Hitler was fanatical also. Like anything, fanatacism is awesome if it is aimed in the right direction. Ferraries are awesome, but not if you drive them into road trains. But each to their own, it's not for those that prefer mediocrity. In fact it is the bane of mediocrity.
