I'm not sure where it is written that we have that we have the right to brand any other religion as a cult. In fact, most religions do a fairly good job of branding themselves as cults by the results which they cultivate.

Radical Islam, for one, has produced nothing but poverty and violence for its followers.

Rev. Wright and Obama, his chief protegee, has produced a dangerous form of racism and anti-Americanism.

The Calvinist extremists produced mass executions of Catholics and the Salem witch trials.

The Catholics who couldn't separate their religion and political power produced the reign of bloody Mary in England and the Spanish inquisition.

Their character shaped by the Calvinist persecutions, they later gave us the armies who beat back the Muslim hordes at the gates of Vienna and the Muslim navies off the coast of Lepanto.

The Catholics who gave us Pope John Paul II played a major role in bringing down the iron curtain.

Mormons have given us the most conservative voting religious demographic in America.

Osteen, at the very least, has given us a number of self-improvement best sellers including one which one of his readers successfully used to convince a murderer to give up peacefully.

Meanwhile, those who scream the loudest about cults, have done nothing but divide the faith communities with their Taliban brand of Christianity to such an extent that most mainline Protestant denominations have gone the way of the ELCA in supporting liberal political causes such as gay marriage and colonization of America with third world people with third world values contrary to the principles of freedom and responsibility on which this nation was founded.

By supporting Harry Reid and the Rino Romney - right.

"Mormons have given us the most conservative voting religious demographic in America."

Vig, I asked this question once before when you posted this comment.

Do you believe Mitt Romney is a conservative?
