Oh please. Muslims strap on bombs and yell alahu akbar in their “heroic virtue”. People have willingly given their lives for many cults throughout the ages.

The catholic Church names someone as a Saint and that is evidence its not a cult? I don’t get it.

If a “saint” was someone who lived their whole life the way to should be led, we would never hear of them. No, instead Catholics give humans credit for “miracles” (instead of crediting God), it doesn’t matter how they lived the rest of their lives, and then humans decide to call them Saints.

That is kind of cultic.

It is miraculous to heal a man with no eyes.

There’s nothing miraculous about strapping on bombs.

Are the two things really just the same for you?
