Not a lot of Cthulu cultists here I suspect.

If you have ever read Charles Stross's 'Laundry files' he parodies just

Highly recommended if you have worked in IT.

     “I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the 
greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most 
obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of 
conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which 
they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by 
thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
