that some some people are so easy intimidated and impressionable.

that it's retarded. like those ppl that killed themselves back in the 90's. wtf? castration and suicide? um, no.

what about scientology; naturopathy; and organised religion? All cults have their victims...

www.workingpsychology.co...

that scientology is a cult and should be banned. it's all about mind control.

as is naturopathy and many organised religions

i'm catholic, and it's been around for ages. ppl just can't come up with something and preach salvation by aliens and whatnot.

in fact, any system f veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object is a cult

Religions are not the only things I see as cults

LOL! bellanyc, just because something's been around a long time doesn't make it right

Alot of cult-like behaviors are passed off as trends

i agree hollywood. i think it's retarded that ppl follow others like idiots

i feel like i'm not a part of a 'cult'. just bc i'm catholic doesn't mean that i'm a 'follower'

i believe in parts of the religion but i'm not brain-washed

Not what I was implying

Im also Catholic

i was replying to ashdonaldson

oh, my mistake

no, bellanyc, these days Christians are generally luke-warm followers, but the crusades saw generations of 'genocide for Jesus'

that any 'cult' or 'group' shouldn't make you sacrifice yourself

i.e. suicide

to agree. No true religion should ask its followers to purge a land of non-believers.

people looked deeper into their religions; the traditions; and what they stood for

yes. apparently great minds think alike. well said.

I think it's funy that Christians celebrate the Pagan celebrations as their major holidays (when they were originally banned by the church)
