Let us love our neighbor more so that they will be less likely to fall into the web of the cults.

Cults aren't new; the have ALWAYS been around in every religion and culture.

I guess that's why Rush Limbaugh calls us SHEEPLE.
Baaaaa.

I must confess that I have problems with the classification of religions into "authentic" and "cults." In reality there is only the True Religion and everything else. On what ground, then, do a conglomration of various religions get together and determine that they are "real religions" while others are "cults?"

Too often "cult" is simply used because the religion isn't as old as the others (hello chr*stians, do you seen any irony in this???). Then there is the unfortunate fact that old religions tend to lose their "fizz" and become "respectable," dismissing once-held beliefs as "myths" while the so-called "cults" still truly believe.

I'm not sticking up for this particular group. I'm just saying that if you're going to erase the True/false dichotomy in religions the cult/non-cult one doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense.
