In the 80’s, Michael Wayne Ryan was a nobody, a high school dropout, who couldn’t hold down a job. But to hear him tell it, he’s one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. He's a Vietnam war vet (not really), where he lost two toes( that part's true). He’s also been a hitman for the CIA(nope), and a mafia hitman as well(not a chance), all this before the age of 40. So it's no wonder this man thought he was “Michael” from the bible, the archangel reincarnate. All he needed now was a few people who shared his vision and hung on every word…yep, we're doing some cult shit.
