cults use coercive (read that as violent or oppressive) tactics against the people who speak out against them, or (Esp. in this case) people who LEAVE the cult.

By this definition the Roman Catholic Church, at least in some areas of the world, was a cult up through the mid 19th century. Had you been around then you presumably would have joined the Know-Nothing Party, which was opposed to the influence of the Catholic "cult" in America.

There are some parts in southern Mexico where the RCC still do those things.

Probably not, given that I was raised Catholic.
My, but the ad hominem starts early here

Once again, you have been refuted!

Looked at a calendar lately?

History is very wonderful tool. One needs to learn from it.

And not use it as an excuse or justification.

Islam did not quite catch on to that, "we are done with holy war's now", like the rest of the world did.

Hmmmm......

I'm thinking that you often wonder what you are doing here or is it that you enjoy deliberately being a distraction.

Either way, after six months, you have been exposed.
