I'm not exactly one to hesitate calling Christianity a cult now that I view it from an Atheist perspective, mainly because of its effects on me and factors of when I left. When I went from Catholic to Methodist, the Catholic priest at my old cat. church tried to guilt trip me into staying, and so did my grandmother, and there were other things I had experienced that would make me call it a cult, but to get to the question.
It seems as though if we were to build a time machine and go back in time about 1,000 years, the only difference between a religion and a cult would be the size, because everything that makes a modern day cult a cult, Christianity, Islam and even other religions have had those qualities at those times too. I could argue that Modern day Islam is still a massive cult. Are there any real differences between a religion and a cult? Thanks a bunch.

If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!
