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.
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."
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.
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?
I shall deal with the Ori after I have conquered the System Lords.
Trick question, the answer is always Beyonce
Not Taylor Swift?
Colin Mockery in square one.
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
(explanation: satanists are generally chill, and he looks like Kane 🤣)
CoS/LaVey are more like the petulant libertarian flavor of satanism.
Satanic Temple are the chill ones
Marie Curie's fans are practically radioactive.
Which one has people knocking on my door again?
That's probably those damned Rasputin's Witnesses.
Taken per capita, probably LaVey. Taken as "Total harm done" it's Jesus, no contest
I recommend studying Crowley and Osho.
if we're talking about lemmy, it's Stalin
Yea, it’s Jesus
I would honestly agree. The fanfiction is getting out of hand.
Jesus, by far. The people who have been murdered in his name is probably close to or over a good billion, right?
He's not really a "foundational figure of Christianity" though, his image was just co-opted by the Roman empire which then created the religion also co-opting the actual "Jewish revival" Jesus was at the core of (bringing the fundamentals of monotheism back into mind and expanding the teachings to everyone, not just a small select community).
Jesus never asked for wars in his name though. It’s not part of his teachings.
Christianity changed a lot once it became the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.
However Christianity also brought a lot of positive social changes with the focus on forgiveness and helping the unfortunate for example.
It was spread by conquest, but also peaceful friendly missionaries. These missionaries often invented a writing system for the illiterate people they visited.
Oh yeah the man was a prophet of peace, I'm not putting it on him. 👍
Not disputing you but I'd be interested in how you arrived at this count.
Completely eyeballed it but I included every Western imperialist project that was done with Bible in hand and chanting variations of "Deus Vult", so that's large chunks of Asia, most of Africa, all of Latin America, and every Western incursion on West Asia from the Crusades to Iran today. And let's not forget the pagan persecution in the West itself by the Romans. That's a shit ton of people through the ages, right?
Lol Anton LeVay was such an edgy loser
A carney mentalist who became a sex pope?
What did he lose?
#6 m'lord
Of the top: Catholicism, evangelicalism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s witnesses,…
I mean this list goes on and on. They all have one guy in common.
3 Belief in or acknowledgment of a satan just reinforces and legitimizes christianity.
LaVeyan satanists aren't deistic, they don't actually believe in Satan.
They don’t need to.
For fuck sake, blond Jesus? This is (one of many) proof(s) that they are worshiping imaginary god and his son. They imagine the son with blond hair, I am guessing speaking English and talking about America.
Blond Jesus has a way more toxic following than Historically Accurate Jesus.
Linux
Hey at least its not Windows lol
Agreed
I use arch btw
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]
... we all know the answer 😶
Jesus while he lived or modern? cause that's two completely different groups of people.
I don't know but I find number three wildly amusing. Some parts of my former edgy 16 year old libertarian atheist refuse to die.
I'd argue that by mere statistic, Jesus wins this one.
