They are Special! You are talking to them because you recognize their superiority. You are humbled and awed to find such a wonderful person to present such an amazing opportunity to. If you find someone who is grounded and intelligent they will laugh at you and walk away. If they don't, you have hooked them. Best of all they will never admit they have been conned.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The orginial con artist.

A little flattery, a little twisting of the truth, sowing a bit of doubt next thing you know they are eating out of your hand.

It still works and probably will until the Kingdom of God returns to earth.
