Rebecca: I've been really depressed since my breakup with Jeff, it's been tough.
Christina: I know, but you can't just lay around moping in silence waiting for nothing to change.
Rebecca: I discovered something that has been helping me cope and it's like the only thing that works.
Christina: What..what is it?
Rebecca: Cults
Christina: What the hell? Did you say Cults? You've joined a cult?
Rebecca: No you idiot! It's a band called Cults, and the singer has a beautiful voice, you gotta check it out right now and listen!
Christina: You scared the crap out of me. Why would they name their band Cults?

Rebecca: I'll show you the first music video I ever saw of theirs called "Go Outside". I think you'll see why.

Cults

Hey, I haven't taken money from anybody. It's not my fans who should be paying me. It's these corporate benefactors who are reaping the benefits of my vast and incalculable intellect who should be paying me.

Hym "And if people are using this to start cults then your silence regarding their relationship to me is what allows them to do what they are doing. If you know who I am, and you know they're related to me.... The you are complicit in the defrauding of those people. Lives destroyed. People accruing 'unearned status.' All because of YOU. Your fault. You don't have a right to bitch about what they're doing becuase YOU could stop them TODAY. But you won't. Because a guy who said a thing you don't like for people to be allowed to say would gain materially... Oh wait... A guy is already doing that.... You all hate him and people are on video on YouTube calling for him to get raped in prison. We don't even know that he's GUILTY yet. He PROBABLY ISN'T! Ha! You guys are terrible. If I knew that was happening I would say something and put an end to it. All of this just so you all can be a bunch smug, self-righteous hippies."

Sarkic Cults

Sarkicism is a religious/philosophical system that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to “Grand Karcist Ion”, its deified founder. Adherents practice ritual cannibalism, human sacrifice, corporeal augmentation, thaumaturgy, and dimensional manipulation. Highly secretive, the general public appears to have no direct knowledge of their existence; the one exception being the CotBG, who views them in apocalyptic terms. Organic manipulation has allowed certain Sarkicites to achieve anomalous states of being, transcending the physical limitations of baseline humans. Disease is viewed with reverence and Sarkic shrines have been discovered with offerings of swollen lymph nodes and tumorous growths. Sarkic cults treat contagions as consecration, a means to "cull the weak" and purify the masses, and thus actively seek to ensure their spread.

Yikers, those Sarkic Cults peoples are weird.

Accidental cults 

I don't think I should have to say this but... You know I'm not going to be super stoked about a bunch of accidental cults running around and harvesting souls in my name right? Right? Because that would constitute charlatanry and if it isn't ABUNDANTLY CLEAR... I'm against that.

Hym "Hey, and don't go blaming me for accidental cults. Alright? We all know how I feel about charlatanry from watching Lucifer... The show were Lucifer hates sin and that's why he punishes them and is a Sherlock Holmes-esque police consultant show... Which is a thing I wrote about... Entirely coincidental I'm sure... The timelines match up.... Just saying.... But yeah, don't let me be the God of your charlatan religion... Not a great way to die... Not going to be a great thing to wake up to after you die..."

Anti-Cult Cults

The plural form of anti‑cult cult, acknowledging that many such groups exist across the skeptic, secular, and ex‑religious communities. Each has its own dogmas, charismatic leaders, and practices of excommunication. They often compete with each other, accusing rival groups of being "not truly anti‑cult" while reproducing the same controlling behaviors. The term is used critically by scholars of new religious movements who note that the boundary between "cult" and "anti‑cult" is often performative rather than substantive.

Anti-Cult Cults Example: "The conference brought together leaders from several anti‑cult cults, each denouncing the others as insufficiently pure while mirroring their structures of control."
