I'd better clarify my term "nutters"... I really mean David Koresh/Charles
Manson dominant leaders of small religious groups (yes, the Manson Family
used religious texts). Sure, this currently discussed group may not be like
that.
Would literal adherence to The Book of the Law however, seem, er, a bit
nutty though, were one to adhere to such a path?

Although it could all be true(ish). It's not the first time nutters have
gone even nuttier with the help of a religious text.
And that brings up the question, to me anyway: How do we interpret The Book
of the Law? It's tricksy and poetic, people think they know what it means,
but do they? Does it mean anything at all?

Dear All
True

with a few more details, includind stuff about crowley -
the tattoos were "eye of horus"
the case is still in the courts
so may be more media coverage depending on eventual verdict.
