All religions are cult, they all fall in the cult behavior.

It's a good thing Christianity is not a cult or a religion.

Good video. I like what you said that a Cult is defined by their actions, not doctrine.

I'm an atheist, and I'm not a big fan of Christianity (or any other religion for that matter), but Christianity as practiced by most christians is NOT a cult. cult-LIKE, but not a cult.. Not as we know and use the word today at least..

@CultFree christianity is the same shit

@CultFree cults usually recruit and hold different views from the norm. Sounds familiar. If you make a claim that your group has knowledge that is divine and you cant prove what that means. Your group is probably a cult. Cults usually consider testimony has evidence. Cults also tend 2 focus on shedding this world's possessions and enlightenment. Religion and cult are synonyms. Cults also like to say that people outside of the cult are lost. Very Christ like.

[freedom2think]

@CultFree Christianity is the biggest cult in the world. Anytime you teach that you have the "way to truth and salvation" and that people need to worship a deity - cult. Jesus, God, and the bible are fictitious stories taught as truth with no verifiable testable claims and they make a lot of money. The money may go toward the church or in the pockets of the parishioners. Even if it goes to feed the hungry its still earned by a cult. Cult is not bad or good per se, just delusional clubs.

Government is a cult.

[lindalds]

A cult, according to many "born again" Christians is, any group that doesn't believe like I do. Any group that I don't believe and I don't like, that I want other people to fear and hate as much as I do.
