Sorry writing app there makes it sound like I think you encouraged them, I don't. I just assumed that was your interaction. Point being of course people were naming their Erudites that shit and that's what you'd expect. I figured that was the same thing with you guys but instead you roleplay as hoteps/black israelites/whatever.

But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence... illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.
-Feuerbach, Preface to the second edition of The Essence of Christianity
