I think the A&M Aggies are a cult, but I definitely dont think they are a religion.

I think Manchester soccer fans are a cult, but they are definitely not a religion.

Definitions of cult on the Web:

• followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices
• fad: an interest followed with exaggerated zeal; "he always follows the latest fads"; "it was all the rage that season"
• followers of an unorthodox, extremist, or false religion or sect who often live outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader
• a religion or sect that is generally considered to be unorthodox, extremist, or false; "it was a satanic cult"

Well; you got definition #2, and I got all the rest. WHO fails?

youre jump from 2 to 3 is a massive lack in logic, therefore the rest of your point is meaningless.

 

HUH?

 

I must have MISSED that in LOGIC 101:

 

2. panaxanax  likes to use the word, CULT, a lot.

3. THERFORE, he(?) must consider us ANTI-MORMONism folks to be a RELIGION, though false.  (3 outta 4...)

You fail. 1st, panaxanax never attacked your religion (Wesleyan, I believe). So, you fail there. Maybe he considers you to be a cult in the 5th definition of Webster - great devotion to a person, idea, movement, or work. Maybe he believes you a cult of people devoted to an anti-Mormon movement. Your failure is in trying to know what his definition of cult is without asking him.

So yes, your logical jump fails.

Also, from Webster (not “Web definitions”), cult comes from the Latin cultus meaning care or adoration.
