If you know anything about cults, then you know that, inevitably, their denial of reality catches up with them in spectacular fashion. Heaven&#8217;s Gate started out innocently enough back in the 1970s. The hippies were convinced that they&#8217;d eventually ascend on board an alien UFO and transform into immortal beings with godlike powers. Members eagerly signed up because, after all, there wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of downside risk involved. In the worst-case scenario, if the &#8220;prophecy&#8221; was wrong, your life would continue as normal. Maybe you&#8217;d have to leave your family for a bit, but otherwise, no big deal. In the best-case scenario, you become omnipotent. Seemed like a win-win.
Fast-forward a few decades, and Heaven&#8217;s Gate changed the terms of the bargain a little bit. By the 90s, in order to get the godlike powers, you needed to take your own life. So it was a slight revision in the contractual arrangement. But a lot of Heaven&#8217;s Gate members went along with it anyway. They had bought into the nonsense they&#8217;d been fed. They were in too deep. They had sunk costs. They weren&#8217;t about to turn back at the last minute, as the Hale-Bopp Comet approached. So they took the drugs, died, and that was that. The cult of Heaven&#8217;s Gate was no more.
