Always wanted to start a cult, I think I would be pretty good at it

The Cult of Spaceman Jones

If you think about it, communism is a cult, man, and like, Karl Marx is Jim Jones...

I'd probably do a lot better than Jim Jones

For one, I wouldn't kill a bunch of people for no reason

Yeah much better to kill a bunch of people for solid reasons.

Fuck it I'm on board. Maybe we can do it as a bit so good it spawns an actual cult.

Pretty sure the flat earth thing started out as a thought experiment on debate forums to defend an untenable position and it got out of hand.
