CULTS

The ballad of Cults Chaplain

I searched Facebook for Cults - specifically, individuals calling themselves Cults.

I found Cults Chaplain first.

He has no picture and only three friends –

1)Symply Jack

2)Aзаг Тот

3)Grinning Skull

But each one of these friends extends out into a growing network of other similarly titled friends: ‘Crafty Plonkton’, ‘My Darling’, ‘Cthulhu's Inquisitor’, it goes on. No-one in the network seems to have more than 20 friends. No-one shares their information beyond a profile picture and their friends (and around half don’t even have a picture) Most have seemingly Russian names or clearly fictitious names.

Eventually through a six degrees of Kevin Bacon type scenario I eventually ‘meet' the Reverend Donald Derby, who is married, has over 500 friends and , curiously, a profile picture of the recently deceased wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage about to lay a drop on Jesus (as seen here: http://hereticaljargon.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/macho-man-jesus.jpg?w=640&h=720)

Plus – this guy likes Ghostbusters, Fear and Loathing and Snoop Dogg. Have we happened upon America’s least reverend reverend? Or an imposter who has given himself the title under false pretences. And who is this army of falsely named seemingly Russian recluses who led us to him? Who creates a network where almost no-one has a genuine photo or name and that only connects a handful of people to each other? Hackers? Kids? An ACTUAL cult?

Only one way to find out - I've friend requested Cults Chaplain. He/she has yet to respond.
