While on my lunch break I saw an ad for a show that's coming on Wednesday at 9 eastern called cults. I don't know if its going to be a series or not, but this one is going to be about some guy in Arizona who claims to be a (the?) messiah, and his followers. Should be interesting to watch.

"One day by myself I was in my trailer just relaxing and there was
nothing on my mind in particular and then God said to me you are the
Messiah," explains Travesser in the film. He goes on to describe how two
women came forward to bear witness, and that God commanded him to have sex
with them to consummate their relationship -- despite both being married to
men in the cult. Travesser convinced their husbands he was following God's
instructions and that they should direct their misery heavenward.I see a padded room in this guys future.
