Nah, he didn't do nuthin, just died.

It was really St. Paul. Him and Constantine (who gave us the council of Nicia) and St. Augustine.

And Jerry Falwell, and the 700 Club and Father Coughlin and Pat Roberson and Jim and Tammi Bakker and Rev. Lovejoy and Cotton and Increase Mather and Martin Luther and Cranmer and Henry VIII and Julius II and Michaelangelo and the fuc*ing Italian Renaissance and the damn Northern Renaissance and Mohammad and that fat bastard Budda and the Dali Lama and Richard Gere and Lisa Simpson and Notre Dame and ...

Zammit and Schwartzie and their ilk are small time ......
 
Samuel Hahnemann...for inventing homeopathy
Mme. Blavatsky...for founding theosophy and its offspring
Eric von Däneken...for his bigotted pseudo-science
L. Ron Hubbard...for founding scientology
Edgar Cayce...for keeping up his farce
Uri Geller...for being such a bad sport
Deepak Chopra...for being so greedy
J. Benveniste...for winning the Ig-noble Prize twice
Fritjof Capra...for twisting Quantum Mechanics into woo-fodder
Dean Radin...for perpetuating the psi-myth

Spare: Shirley McLane...for high-profile woo-peddling

Honorable Mention: (because some useful stuff also came from these guy's minds): C. G. Jung and Rudolf Steiner


...oh - don't get me started...

What have I ever done to you?!?!?! :)
 
I think I'll treat the RaptureReady folks as a singular entity, and add them to the list.

Mary Baker Eddy is a good candidate for the list.

As is L. Ron Hubbard.

Zammit is definitely on there.

And because we have a sense of humor, NaturalHealth is on the list as well.
 
Since we're including dead people, how about:

Michel de Notre Dame, better known as Nostradamus.

The man was the John Edwards of his time, and his works have been treated as though they were Biblical prophecy since then.
 
How about LDS founder Joseph Smith, who "found" the golden sacred books from America, showed them to a group of "reliable witnesses", and then the books just vanished forever?
