I'm sorry, society does not recognize your definition. And, as you aren't even high school educated, your definition will never count for jack.
Okay, now, if that's not a first-rate Pot and Kettle Award contender, I don't know what is.
Okay, so catholicism is a false religion? But isn't the Catholic Church from which the Protestant Church split? If this is true, how can a "true" religion come from a "false" one. Am I missing something in this argument? Of course, ALL religions are false as far as I'm concerned.
You sound just like bigchrissy, bro.
What we are talking about we say 'cult,' is a false religion like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and all other religions that have failed to prove the existence of their god(s).
"A cult is a religion with no political power."--Tom WolfeWilliam Edelen:
A CULT: Believes in heavenly signs such as comets and gateways to heaven and other mentally deranged ideas.
A REAL RELIGION: Believes in heavenly signs such as stars in the East at their leaders birth and the "sun standing still" for an entire day. (Joshua 10:12) and other mentally deranged ideas.
A CULT: Believes they have found the truth while all others are deceived.
A REAL RELIGION: Believes they have found the truth while all others are deceived. "Salvation is only through Jesus."
A CULT: The leader says "believe me and you will go to heaven."
A REAL RELIGION: The leader says..."believe me and you will go to heaven...Don't believe me and you will go to someplace called 'hell'".
A CULT: Has leaders mostly men, often wearing fancy robes and promising you salvation and heaven if you will give them your money and property.
A REAL RELIGION: Has leaders, mostly men, often wearing fancy robes and promising you salvation and heaven if you will give them your money and property.
A CULT: Claims their leader is led by God, and God speaks to him and tells him what to do. The leader talks to God.
A REAL RELIGION: Claims their leader is led by God, and God speaks to him and tells him what to do. And the leader talks to God.
A CULT: Makes miraculous claims about the importance of their leader.
A REAL RELIGION: Makes miraculous claims about their leader, that he was born of a virgin...could walk on water..could turn water into wine and feed thousands with only five loaves and two fish.
A CULT: Thinks women are subservient to men and the male leader and should take orders from them, including sexual bondage.
A REAL RELIGION: Thinks women are subservient to men. "Let the women keep silence for it is not permitted for them to speak; they are commanded to be under obedience." (1Cor. 14:34) "Man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man." (1Cor: 11:13) "Let women learn silence in all subjection. I suffer not a woman to have authority over a man." (1 Timothy 2:11)
See how easy it is to tell a cult from a real religion. No problem.
