It’s amazing how many people can follow a religious movement that has been shrouded with lies. It is unfortunate that people get wrapped up in these cults and devote themselves to something that someone conjured up one night. I wonder how people felt when they read Lane’s book on the fallacies of their “religion.” To be shown that something that you whole heartedly believe and follow is no more than a compilation of plagiarized works from other beliefs. It is more amazing that so many people still believe in it knowing how deceptive its origins are.
I found it humorous the number of other cults that were stated as branches off of Eckankar, especially Jerry Mulven’s story. Someone that joked about starting a cult and getting people to follow him who actually went through with it and got people to follow after him. I guess it’s not that hard to get people to believe you when they are searching for something to believe in. I think that is where most of these followers come from. They are people that do not want to follow the mainstream religions and do not feel connected to them but want something to believe in. They search out and find these cults and find a community that will accept them and take them in. I wonder if I could start a religion?
