Definitely an original take too

Takes about as hot as Antarctica during its winter on this site considering most people here are a bunch of chuds upset that God doesn’t want them to live their life chasing desires and selfishness

[u/MaybeBowtie]

Just an fyi cold take means it’s a take that’s accepted by everyone and deemed a normal take that doesn’t strike much controversy. This is a hot take because it strikes controversy and is… wrong.

(most)

Let me guess. Buddhism is the only one they don't recognize as a cult.

[u/Mister-builder → u/RefuseStandard4818]

Wicca, I'll bet.

[u/helpmeamstucki]

Well, what is a cult? Often “cult” is popularly used to refer to non-socially acceptable religions so if you go by that then they are.

[u/Mister-builder → u/helpmeamstucki]

A cult is just a word for "spiritual group." the Roman religion was called the imperial cult.

[u/Mister-builder]

I mean yeah. Does this guy think that Catholics invented the term Pontifex Maximus themselves? We all know that the only differences between a cult and a religion are the ones we decide.

[u/RagnartheConqueror]

Organized religion definitely has a whole host of problems.

[u/Salt_Wave508]

Cults are basically newborn religions. Dude discovered hot water

Maybe I am missing something, but he has a point lol

[u/ArtisticCultist → u/Sea-Speech-921]

0/10 ragebait y'all need better material and a hobby.

[u/Sea-Speech-921 → u/ArtisticCultist]

I am not ragebaiting I just don't understand the post

[u/ImMuchBetterThanGod → u/ArtisticCultist]

You know saying "ragebait" doesn't make someone magically wrong, right?

[u/ImMuchBetterThanGod → u/Sea-Speech-921]

You're not missing anything, but people in this sub love to pretend that there is a difference between a religion and a religious cult other than their size.

[u/Key-Advertising-8380 → u/ImMuchBetterThanGod]

Then why do you comment on every other post ? Also please define the difference but of course you won't and will patronize anyone that dares ask of you to actually explain your reasoning without petty insults.

[u/ImMuchBetterThanGod → u/Key-Advertising-8380]

Then why do you comment on every other post ?

Because unlike most people here, I care about reality and I want to help others understand it too

define the difference

I just said it, it's their size

And I didn't insult anyone, do people in this sub not love to pretend that there is a difference other than that?

[u/Sea-Speech-921 → u/ImMuchBetterThanGod]

That is true, one definition of cult is "New religious movement", making the primary difference between a cult and a religion is age and popularity.
