1 Aleister Crowley – an influential occultist and ceremonial magician.
2 Manly P. Hall – known for writings on esoteric philosophy.
3 Anton LaVey – established modern Satanism.
4 Grigori Rasputin – a controversial spiritual figure in Russian history.
5 Osho – a spiritual teacher known for controversial teachings and communes.
6 Jesus Christ – the foundational figure of Christianity.
7 Apophis - once an extremely powerful Goa’uld System Lord. Arch enemy of the Tau’ri, he impersonated the ancient Egyptian deity of chaos, darkness and fire.
Apophis is a false god. Say it with me, it’s what you really believe.
You will pay for your insolence. With your life.
Jaffa, kree!
…why aren’t you kreeing?!
We’re past such formalities.
what about the Ori? or Sokar? or Setesh? or even Bal?
2 Manly P. Hall – known for writings on esoteric philosophy.
That picture is actually of Gerald Gardner, the guy who founded (kind of? Its complicated) the religion of Wicca.
That’s literally Gerald’s Wikipedia picture, while Manley Hall kina looks like he’d be a groyper twink if he were alive today
To answer the question though, white Jesus easily has the most toxic fan club, by sheer volume of followers.
Anton LaVey was an edgy fuck though, so he probably gets 2nd place for just being kinda cringe ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The second guy looks like he smoked a lot of weed.
Taken per capita, probably LaVey. Taken as “Total harm done” it’s Jesus, no contest
Jesus while he lived or modern? cause that’s two completely different groups of people.
Well sure, otherwise the first group would be really old right now.
I mean most of these people’s followers aren’t around anymore.
Yea, it’s Jesus
I would honestly agree. The fanfiction is getting out of hand.
Trick question, the answer is always Beyonce
Not Taylor Swift?
You take that back or so help me I will end you
5 has the best quote. I don’t agree with the sentiment (most days), but it is absolutely hilarious: " […] democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people… but the people are… retarded."
Just say removed
Nvm didn’t know lol
CoS/LaVey are more like the petulant libertarian flavor of satanism.
Satanic Temple are the chill ones
That is excellent information, thank you!
Of the top: Catholicism, evangelicalism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s witnesses,…
I mean this list goes on and on. They all have one guy in common.
This is a terrifying post to comment on
[controversial reply with a healthy mix of upvotes and downvotes that’s ambiguous enough that you’re not sure if they’re serious, confused, or bad at sarcasm]
Linux
Hey at least its not Windows lol
Agreed
I use arch btw
I’d argue that by mere statistic, Jesus wins this one.
Jesus has trump so, jesus
if we’re talking about lemmy, it’s Stalin
I feel the inclusion of Jesus does this list a disservice, could have been like a Buddha, Mohamed, Jesus… List and I think that would have been better because of the league Jesus is playing in. Basically skews the list.
But the first 5 in the list is an awesome list to choose from. I would say Rasputin due to the shit show Russia was going to be put through that I feel he was the straw that broke the camel’s back and led to cascading events I feel still persists
How large a fan base do most of these have? Should have used Count of St. Germain rather then Jesus, though.
