Followers of the Weird

Thought. Why are there so many ardent followers of weird beliefs, off-the-wall religions, cults, and strange martial art styles. It is because some people feel a need to succeed at something, since they cannot succeed at anything in the real world. To be a success, they have to invent something in which they may succeed. Then they seek other losers to join them. This type of people rejects the normal and accepts the abnormal as being the truth since they feel this will make them feel important. Since there are few followers of the weird and there is little legitimate literature on the weird, it is easy for a loser to become an expert on the weird. The more abnormal something is, the more an idiot will believe it. This is one reason why there are so many "styles" of martial arts.
