Cult
From Encyclopedia Of Stupid
Cults are stupid.
As with so many things, cults are one of those "depends on who you ask" combined with "what's in it for them for maintaining a particular public position" kinds of things.
Examples of "who you ask" include:
- people who belong whose parents also did
<li>people who belong whose parents didn't
<li>people who don't belong and never did
<li>people who don't belong but once did
<li>people of other diverse and sundry variations and degrees of contact with dogma
<li>trolls who'll say anything to get a rise out of others
</ul>
Examples of "what's in it for them" include things like:
-
<li>how they'll be treated by fellow believers impressed by their stand, convictions, number of snakebites they can endure before screaming "JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST!!!" at the top of their lungs, etc.
<li>how they'll be treated by fellow disbelievers impressed by their blasphemy
<li>how their opinions will affect their inheritance
<li>how Jews will treat them for uncovering yet another anti-semitic organization
<li>how their opinions will increase their anti-cult website hits
<li>how their opinions might improve their chances of bedding the co-worker trying to convert them
<li>trolls who'll say anything to get a rise out of others
In the final analysis, in and of themselves cults and religions are identical, but whether called the one or the other is purely in the eye of a given beholder.
Just be nice others and shut the fuck up.
