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.
None yet Adam... when I find one worth the effort I'll let ya know Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! On second thoughts... nobodys worth a cult. I was never cut out to be a follower....
Well I'm not into cults, but if you were on about following a person... Why not Bebelina Why??? Well, Because.. well. just because darn it... I'm not tellin' When I say follow, I mean her teachings, not her. Wouldn't be fair on her privacy lol
Tyler, Perhaps the cult of Love and Self Love... I'm not egocentric... I'm just passing my ideas... Btw... What is a cult? Honestly... I don't know... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
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'.
