because they were just people ministering to each other and welcoming each other and being kind to each other in a way without expectation.
And so he runs this camp, and there are a lot of people who used to be Christian
who are experiencing this and coming to the camp and refinding their faith.
Because in that moment, they're having those transcendent experiences that you normally don't get when you're just sitting in church sometimes.
There's another group, I forget the... I think it's called Milk and Honey, I don't remember.
But they have a thousand-person Shabbat for Jews there.
And it's this...
incredible experience people report and so i think for a lot of people they're looking for those spiritual experiences and things like burning man are a way to do it and then they have what do they call them little burns or remote burns right throughout the year they'll come together at different times and do this and so i think what you're seeing is a desire of people
to kind of feel that God-shaped hole in their heart, to feel that.
And for a lot of them, kind of the staid religious rituals that we're kind of getting now aren't doing that.
And so I could see something evolving out of that, but who knows where we're going.

But, I mean, let me talk about the issue of cult versus religion.
I think you're absolutely right first.
Cults primarily have the idea of this charismatic leader, which is why you often kind of hear this notion it's a cult of personality.
It's usually somebody who thinks they're special.
You have to worship that leader.
And when somebody thinks they're that special –
things often go wrong with where they're going to lead people.
Regular religions though can have the same problems.
