Information
Who's pulling these strings is who I want to talk to. A broad overview is that there was some kind of sickness, but people were comparing it to religion. Might have been some flavor of Christian, but a lot of evidence says it's not. Still some kind of apocalyptic death cult. So it's the same difference.
