Re: In Partibus Infidelium
Many years ago, I rented a remote cabin with a flying saucer cult as neighbors.
While they tended toward the far right (alien abduction, Armageddon, a race war, Chinese/UN takeover/ Elders of Zion, etc.) they also were keen on nutrition, crystals, auras, and that sort of stuff.
They were always seeing things (hawks were scanner disks, marmots were gnomes, lenticular clouds were camouflaged spaceships) that I didn't see the same.
I went out of my way to be nice to them as people, not get into arguments, dig their cars out of the snow, etc.
Eventually their founder, whom they believed had gone away on a spaceship to plan the apocalypse, was found after several years in his wrecked Cessna in a Utah canyon. At which point they sort of dried up and blew away.
So I guess it was part of my education.
