Religious Cults?

That is a very good question. I have always wondered why when one church/compound in one town molests children it's call a cult but when the Catholic church does it to tens of thousands and has the money to avoid prosecution it's called a religion.$$$ think about it.

The definition of cult is a religious system.

Cult in terms of wacky bad dominating groups is not an official defintion but rather a cultural slang.

All relgion by defintion of being religious systems of worship are cults.

Yes & used to be one on a small scale.

I told one of my sisters how Christianity came from Judaism, she was so surprised. She looked like she didn't believe me, so I had my mom confirm it to her.

I called it "an offshoot cult from Judaism" & my mom got slightly mad and said that it wasn't a cult. lol

All religions are cults, by definition.

A new religion is always consider a "cult" by most people at first... then once it gets to be huge, it's considered a "religion".

According to the definition, Christianity is a cult.

[edit:] Cult (noun) - a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.

What the HELL does every WHEE MEAN???!

Ahhh yeah!

Thanks. (Get a clue!)
