For whatever reason I’ve gotten into watching documentaries about the various cults and cult-like organizations that have sprung up throughout the years. It fascinates me to see just how far off of center perfectly rational people can be pushed (or pulled depending on the cult).
This makes me want to learn more about all matters of faith and the approximate religiosity peddled by the less mainstream sects. There probably won’t be any mainstream documentaries released any time soon with regard to the huge denominations. This is just a longing for knowledge, even the kind I will find effectively useless. Always interesting to see how doctrine affects world view.
It’s something to do with a little time and it won’t hurt me to have new perspectives. Once I’ve learned all of them I’ll better be able to start my own cult.
