The Pat Robertson (and more broadly, evangelical) variant of Christianity is closest to the written accounts of their ur-text.
There's little question in my mind. The Judeo-Christian Bible turns the susceptible into crazy people. I suggest we preserve a few copies in the reference library.

godot - 2013-02-27 Cults are indistinguishable from first generation religions. If Crowley, Blatvatsky, or Hubbard had something promising to say to the masses (ie: reconciling oneself to the perceived injustices of the world, or offering consolations and solace of maternal figures like Guanyin or Mary) their cults might have made a smooth transition. Alas, history is littered with failed cults.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-27 Cults vs. Religion are pretty much a Pirates vs. Emperors thing. Your legitimacy amongst the populace is dependent on your size, not the morality/rationality of what you say/do/believe.

Remember when it was always tabloid stories about satanic toasters?
They need to make a prank toaster that has a secondary heating element. Every tenth slice (plus or minus 1-5, just so it's not consistent) gets a pentagram burned into it. I have several relatives that would have a major-league freak-out over something like that.

I could probably count the number of articles of clothing I bought new in the last decade on my fingers (not including socks and underwear of course, because EWW). I'm definitely going to hell.
