Cults

RECENTLY IN RUSSIA authorites were looking for terrrorist groups, when they stumbled upon an underground cult. The usual type of underground cult; you know the type, charismatic magnetic leader claims to be the messiah, claims to have all the answers, attracts followers, forms and isolates group from society, practicing own lifestyle and beliefs.

This particular cult had apparently indeed burrowed itself into the ground, and  remained ther for a long time, coming  up above only when necessary. Children were born and raised who had never seen the world above ground.


The authorites intend to break up the cult, and distribute the children to foster homes. The cult intends to fight the process in the russian court system, claiming legality in all their undertakings. (get it? underground...undertakings).....OK whatever....moving right along...

If there's one thing americans have experience with, its cults. In america, cults spring up all the time, flourish constantly, mostly unknown. Only when they go overboeard and do something wacky like commit mass suicide or go on killing sprees do they attract widespread attention.

Really, everybody needs  to belong to a group of some sort.  and whatever the group is, it needs to seem to have some higher purpose. The human race at large often seems to lack any such purpose, which doubtless contributes to the ease and frequency with which sub cults form, evidently all over the world.

The people who are attracted to cults tend to be loners, alienated from the larger community. They are seeking their place in life, in this world, along comes a charismatic group of seemingly happy people, and suddenly,someone who is lost and wanting badly to be found, is found.

Instead of discouraging cult formation, let's accept it as an inevitable and unavoidable part of human nature, and nutrue it, instead of fighting it. Then, let's form a cult, as big as possible. Everyone's welcome.
