List of Cult sites.

Note that our old friend from Timecube gets an honourable mention.

I stumbled upon this site after running a search for info on the Raelian cult, having heard that one of their members is appearing before a panel with that Italian guy who wants to clone humans. The members of the Raelian cult believe cloning is necessary for "eternal life".

Oh look, the site has the Viridians in it... maybe Picard shouldn't have saved the planetary system back in Generations.

I wonder.... if my mother's cult had a website.. would it get a mention?
 
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
 
Er...that's a pretty flawed list. The Viridian movement isn't a cult. It's a design philosophy organized by Bruce Sterling. Green, but, like, techno-green. They don't want to stop inventing things. They just think it would be a good idea if we burnt less stuff.

Anyway, I give that list a C for effort, but a D- overall.

You don't want to misread that line.

Thanks, Liam, for putting that image in my mind...

Damn, beaten to the cunt joke! B(

Cunt joke? I was misreading it as "I wonder.... if my BRother's cult had a website.. would it get a mention?"

You wouldn't want to misread it, because I don't think that Steph has a brother. And it would cause confusion. You see.

Dirty man.

Ah, more incentive for me to finally make "The First Church of Hugo the Divine Eternal Wombat" a reality.

Did you, or anyone you know, ever go to camp in West Virginia, in your high school days?

Wombalations!

I didn't misread it, although I did have to read it a few times to make sure I was hearing Jubes right and her mother did indeed have a cult, which she does.

Nope, groinshave though!

No, The First Church of Hugo the Divine Eternal Wombat has no connection to West Virginia that I am aware of.

Here's how I came up with it:

My friend had a cool T-shirt with "Platypus Mosh" on it. (With a moshing platypus, of course)

I had just watched "Mortal Kombat."

Suddenly Illuminated by divine wisdom, I put Australian marsupial together with martial arts and came up with "Mortal Wombat"...

which I then was instructed to modify to "Immortal Wombat...

And once the revalation that I was meant to form a new, better religion came about, I rebuilt the concept as Hugo, the Divine Eternal Wombat, Creator and Teacher Of Us All, If Only We'd Listen.

Hugo is still revealing his will to me, so I haven't codified his Bibble yet, but I'm working on it. Command #65 is "Your bedroom is your business, not mine or anybody else's."

Far be it from me, a lowly mortal, to question the will of Hugo, the Immortal Wombat, Creator and Teacher of Us All If Only We'd Listen, but shoudldn't that command be number 69?
 
Posted by MeGotBeer (Member # 411) on :
 
No, I think that Commandment #69 is "a person's sex life is only the business of that person and their partner(s)."

Obviously, Commandment #65 refers to people entering a person's domicile (be it bedroom, apartment, etc) and attempting to do something evil like, I dunno, cleaning.
 


Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
 
No, Command #69 is "Thou shall not make hackneyed sexual jokes."
 
Posted by Obi Juan (Member # 90) on :
 
Wow. We're all going to Wombat hell.
 
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
 
There is no Wombat Hell. Hell is an outmoded ludicrous self-torture realm reserved for the TRUE sickos who LIKE punishing themselves. (See the deleted scenes from 'Dogma')

The Wombat equivalent is simply a small room where you, and all the people you know, review your life frame-by-frame to see everywhere you screwed up. And you have to apologize for it, and mean it, and then you're free to go.

If it were up to me, commandment 69 would be "Thou shalt." But that's just me.
