• Bad examples are good for you. If crank religion is your ambrosia, if you love swimming in those heady fanatical waters, here are places to look. Just a few, because honestly, a little goes a long way.

  • Jack Chick - The one, the only, source of those strange disturbing tracts.
  • "God Hates Fags" needs no introduction.
  • The Agressive Christianity Missionary Training Corps, aka Free Love Ministries, feisty for the Lord.
  • Heaven's Gate - Not the movie, the cult. The Hale-Bopp Comet people. Still online after all the suicides.
  • Prophecies From the Mountain - This will make you dizzy. (Make us dizzy.)
  • Outer Secrets - Hmmmm.  Ooo-kay.
  • Anglo-Israelism - Those Ten Lost Tribes, ever wonder where they got off to?
  • Virtual Hell - VHell is offline, but tour this old version coutesy of the Internet Archive.
  • Geocentricity - Earth really is the center. The Center! Devil take all those astronomers anyway.
  • Flat Earth Society - Moreover, it's flat.

"Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire.
They want votes, peace, nuts, liberty, and spinning-looms
not because they love these things,
as a child loves jam,
but because they think they ought to have them.
That is one element which makes the crank."
