No Evil Atheist Conspiracy? Actually, it's a Secret Evil Atheist Conspiracy. Wouldn't be much of a secret if it came up as a result in a test, now would it?

Break out the grape Kool-Aid. It's the People's Temple for me!

#1)Thelemic/OTO (http://members.tripod.com/~DARist/Channel93/index.html) Satanic cultists! Cool!

[bjornart]

Bah, this test is seriously flawed, at least when you disagree with most everything. I said I wasn't willing to die for my cult, and it still put The People's Temple on first. And me never having drunk Cool-Aid in my life.

As the founder of the Unarius Academy of science Dr Ernest L Norman taught us. It is Mars that the aliens live on as you would know if you had read his best selling book. (http://www.serve.com/unarius/mars/index.html)

I'm feeling a strong compulsion to go and join the Aetherius Society...

[rachaella]

No, wait, scratch that, I'm going to go with my last choice, the Church of the Subgenius!

[whitefork]

People's Temple.... Wasn't it like the 25th anniversary of Jonestown a month ago?

I just I better book a flight to Guyana. I don't believe there are any members left in the US.

[Nyarlathotep]

My #1 result was Moonie. hmmmm......

[daenku32]

Why not more Christian 'religions'? Like Southern Baptists or Catholics?

[triadboy]

Eckankar is a riot! Huuuuuuu Huuuuuuuu Huuuuuuuu

They believe in Astral Travel. They believe there are 600 years old 'masters' walking among us. Yes, they have the Hindu mentality going with all the chakras and such.

Their US center is in Minneapolis (near Princes' place) and the International is in Paris. I had a bunch of their literature sent to me when I was pursuing my Masters. I had a good friend who provided music for the Minneapolis temple.

I believe they are The Religion Of Sound and Light.

If I remember "Hugh" is the proper sound of Gods name. They spell it "Hu"

I read an article several yarns ago about a cult in Europe. It seems that they used the SEXUAL favors of the young female cultists to lure in new converts. If I were to be in a cult, that would be the one for me .

There was The Family that used the practice they called "flirty fishing" to help draw people in. And I think the Raelions are all about hedonism. So ya got to give lip service to the whole alien thing, I'm their for the holliday celebrations! :D

Apparently, I'm a Discordian. Here are the five commandments of Discordianism (the Pentabarf):

I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.

II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

Actually, that does have a kind of appeal to me. :D

Pretty funny, but it doesn't hold a candle to the slacking dynamo of quazi-futuristic plastic nonsensivaciouseness that is the Church of the Subgenius.
