This is good news!

I don't need to mow the lawn, I can max out my credit cards on frivolous stuff and I can take up smoking without worrying about the consequences.

I think cultists are a hoot, except when they get kids involved. But I'm for people doing whatever weird stuff they want as long as nobody gets hurt, they pay the bills and clean up after. One of these groups might learn something that will help humanity. It's like random cultural mutations that can produce adaptive traits. Some are just freaks. :lol:

Well, less than 3 months ago, while in Utah, I saw a naturally occurring double rainbow.

Whenever this kind of stuff pops up, I immediately think of this book that Cinepro had recommended a few years back.

If you don't have it, it is very much worth adding to the library.

There was a follow up done called When Prophecy Never Fails. It considers the ongoing Unarius group in California and the long history of cog-dis involved. People love their delusions.

Some people in my family bought into this.

:smile: The Shakers. They believed that sex (even between married people) was a mortal sin. They un-procreated themselves into oblivion. Definitely a good thing for our collective gene pool.
