He might just send in "The Military" to scatter the group and then grandstand his way to some brainless photo op in front of some church in the area... while holding an unopened Bible upside down.

Not everyone is a theologian, Expat.

The few times I have visited these kinds of gatherings, there is a kind of blood ritual in which people are said to ingest the flesh of the deity to gain its power.

Everyone is very somber with a pained expression. My understanding is that only some people are allowed to take the power of this ritual?

It will be interesting to see how this is done with a large gathering.
