5 People Who Started Religions Just to Get Laid

[onager]

If I wanted to annoy a Certain Religious Demographic, I might mention that they forgot Joseph Smith. So I won't mention him.

They also forgot L.A.'s Messiah of Box Canyon, the ex-con Krishna Venta. Venta re-enacted the crucifixion every Easter by sitting on a bicycle seat while tied to a cross. He also insisted that the wives/girlfriends/daughters of his followers could "cleave only unto him." In a startling glimpse of the future, in 1958 two disgruntled followers wrapped themselves in TNT and suicide-bombed Mr. Venta. His Fountain of the World cult not only survived but has a website run by a former member.
