Yeah, the thirteenth tribe schtick is a bit crazy not to mention living gods and such but I was refering to the sacrement of the Rastafarians.

I seem to recall that Rastafarianism is peculiar to the West Indies not Ethiopia which is a Moslem/ Christian country. IIRC.
The Gaia concept is probably nebulous enough for me at present. Methodism was what I was raised in and to be fair they aren't as hidebound as most Christians and far less intrusive into someones ability to be a free thinker which I find admirable in a Christian. Pragmaticist might better describe my current views but even there that's just another label. Golden ruler is an apt description of how I approach things.
My limited experience with Mormons has been they're a fairly polite bunch, insular to a fault but that's theirs and anybody else's perogative.
The only groups that might annoy me are the (on their sleeves) NOTW bunch.
Somehow it is just a bit repugnant to me that some feel the need for flashy bumper stickers proclaiming their allegiance to a particular doctrine. Those types are prone to pogroms IMO.
For an intelligent discussion on theology Jesuits are savvy in my book.YMMV.
