Whats the difference between a cult and a religion?
#10
RE: Whats the difference between a cult and a religion?
I suppose they are all like massive cults, although some groups unknowingly create sub cults within the biger cult. Some can be dangerous and some only hurt them sellves, but I don't think the majority even realize the are in a cult at all.

When I was 19 I was court ordered to attend AA/NA after some trouble making, and after a couple of those meetings I realized all they were was an insane religious cult using dirty tactics to guilt you into feeling you were worthless and would never be anything unless you gave your self to Jesus. They called and harraassed you if you quit going to their hangouts and used whatever dirty tactic they could to try and get you back and keep you and all in the name of their god and version of the bible. I was stunned that the court would order anyone to hanging out with this strange jesus cult. That's the type of place I would figure people would want to get high before attending.
