Cults
After some recent religious conversations, I wanted to note something interesting that perplexes me:
Why is it that some religions are called cults by many (most?) Christians, and others aren’t? For example, mormonism. It’s legally recognized as a religion in the US, it also has a decent set of family values (ignoring the small sect that marries multiple women/girls). What makes your religion not a cult, and everything else one?
There was a great quote from someone tonight that paraphrased was "[something] is a cult because it’s not what I believe."….
So, she alone apparently decides what’s a cult, and what’s not? And it’s basically everything but what she follows/believes.
