There's really no point in posting something like that.
While you make very valid and realistic points, the cultists here are exactly that. Cultists. By defination, they will follow their leader to his/its logical and commanded conclusion. This conclusion always ends in the death or destruction of the cult and its members. History shows that, reality shows that, but you'll never convince them they are the members and that Qlaid will kill them.
Valiant effort to save, alas, this horse is not ever going to drink of the water you've lead it to.
