The Siren Call of Weirdness

Sharing Options

“A cult mentality is ‘obviously’ exhibited by anyone who does not want to live in the prescribed atomistic and detached way — one who does not want to be just another loose ball bearing rattling around in modernity’s machine. The contemporary standards will beckon with a siren call — any kind of weirdness is accepted by us, as long as it is not the weirdness of normality and sanity. You may dye your hair purple if you like, and you are just trying to get in touch with yourself, but if you express a desire to live close to your friends, you obviously have a deep problem” (Mother Kirk, p. 223).
