Whether founded in the recent past or formed with the intention of poking a little fun at ancient institutions that have given meaning to billions, these groups of spiritual soldiers may access universal truths all the same. Consider, for example, the following words: "I take no small delight in the fact that the iron in my blood was born of a supernova, and eventually our sun will explode and we will go back into the cosmos, and the iron molecules in me will still live out in the universe and may coalesce into something fabulous."
That statement could be a militant atheist rhapsodizing about the material world's poetic sheen, or it could be a polyamorous pastor who ministers to HIV-positive Tenderloin residents. In San Francisco, there may no daylight between them.
