Depending on the degree of the cult, they may demand control over the way you live, where you live,
what you eat or drink or when, whether and who you can have sex with, when and how you can have
children, and how they are to be reared.

BethK.

Are you talking about a church, or the Republican Party?

Sadly, they're all still around corrupting innocent minds.


However, regarding the adults ... their self-removal from the planet someday will be lauded by me. I spare no tears for those who willingly choose to embrace stupidity.

It seems most of you did not read the article, they have been found and nobody was harmed, they were in a park praying and gave no indication they were going to do any harm to themselves or their children, this has been blown out of proportion, wait till all the evidence is in before judging. Careful, now your begining to sound like judgemental people and surely you do not want to be the same as you accuse christians of being.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I am judgmental. As are you. As all with the ability to decide are.

Though I suppose i would say the choice was made for me Wink
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I'm also judgmental.

It's just that my judgments are based on evidence and reason instead of ancient superstitions and scripture.
