    Nelson.

    The cult of Love and Self Appreciation (i.e. ego).

    Cults are usually run by people who don't give any evidence but just point out how complete, groundless devotion in their beliefs will lead to a better life.

    And most people in cults are idiots.

    Perhaps the cult of Love and Self Love...

    A cult is a religion. A religion is a cult.

    My votes:

    Bebelina: Cult Of Free-Lovin' Swedish People With Odd Hair.

    Q, JamesR, Theg: Cult Of Posting Useful Info About Stuff.

    Sir Loone: the Catholic Church.

    Truthseeker: Cult Of Love Everybody And Everything (after all, it can't hurt too much, right?).

    Xev: the Cult Of Cthulhu And Other Interdimensional Monsters.

    Zion & Fukushi: Cult Of The Alien Hunters.

    Of course, as a High Priestess of Cthulhu, the Cthulhu cult is essential.

    But I also like Q's Cult of Reason. So:

    Woop - woop - WOOP !!!

    Q, you are not going to gyp us on the ritualistic sex, right? You had better make that one of our tenets!

    Oh yes, and we must get Tyler to join, so we can plaigerize 'Fight Club'.
