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.

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.

"I wonder.... if my mother's cult had a website.. would it get a mention?"
You don't want to misread that line.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

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.

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.

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?
