I love these minority religions. They represent such fascinating cultural outgrowths and often-times cultural throw backs to prior eras.
Same here! I was going to mention the Coptics as well ... I used to know a Coptic girl. But I don't accept Mohism and pagan reconstructionism as relics, to me that's a bunch of bunk, those religions died and you can't resurrect them.

You know another religious obsession of mine? Ritual sacrifice. Man o man, that's one of the deepest and most fascinating topics known to man. You ever read any Renee Girard? It blew my mind apart!
