How do these discussions get started?

This is the first I've heard of the "religious cult" rumor.  However,
by pure coincidence, I happened to meet a guy about 2 months ago who
claimed to be the inventor of those rainbow decals.  I can't verify
that, but he seemed like a sincere guy, and I *do* know that his
livlihood is derived from designing novelty items.  He seems to do
relatively well at it...my understanding is that at this point the
idea is licensed to tons of companies which actually make the things.

The interesting point here is ... ... I met this guy while visiting a
supposedly "non-denominational retreat" which is actually somewhat
affiliated with a semi-cult religion.  It is loosely based on some
combination of Indian Yogi teachings and the I Ching.  I don't know
much about that stuff, but thought it an odd combination.  Anyway, it's
really a low-key cult, it that's what you'd call it.

Oh, by the way, this "retreat" was in Southern California ("of course"
I hear all you easterners saying) not too far from San Diego.

I swear this is all true.
