Was reading about antinomianism on Wikipedia then followed a link to "Libertine" in which GG Allin was listed as an example.

I got a chuckle on having him as a founder of a religion and though this would be a light thread to start.

If a person surnamed Wright started a religion you could call it the Wright religion.

Well, this is why Mormonism fascinated me (although, if you read their gluggy scripture, the fascination begins to pall.) At the outset, I wondered, how could a new religion claiming revelation arise in modern times? The time-honored answer: it takes a smooth huckster and a bunch of willing customers.
