90. While this may be informative - & forewarned is forearmed - I don't think I could stand to read an entire book about it.

Yesterday

The article at the link just describes a bunch of different people making up various (supposedly portentous) names for whatever wackadoo "ideas"* pop into their heads, and then trying to persuade others to accept them. Then some other ostensible "spiritual" "leader" (quotes alone are not enough to express my dubiety here) more-or-less accepts them, rearranges them a bit to suit his/her own agenda, renames them, and then starts a new parade with him/herself at the front. And so it goes. It's like an endless conveyor belt for whirly-eyed fundy cults. It turns my stomach in small doses; the emetic properties of a full dose are something I don't want to experience.

*read: weird things they claim the voices in their heads said.
