If you're not interested in history, if you're living for the day, you need some sort of cliche hook. I certainly don't think of myself as a cult anything. It's a strange thing to even consider pursuing.

There are a few people who are, let's say, personality-challenged, who would like to set up a cult, but in large part they fail due to the innate stroppiness and independence of their fellow pagans.

A cult following is a nice way of saying very few people like you.

What's a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority.

Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members' lives. No group with high ideals starts off as a 'cult'; they become one when their errant ways are exposed.

I like being infamous. I think it is safe being a cult.

When people leave cults, they don't know that they left a cult.

These critics organize and practice in my case a sort of obsessive personality cult which philosophers should know how to question and above all, to moderate.
