You very neatly cut off my explanation for the use of that term. Why should I answer your above, ‘honest,’ question if you are not willing to deal honestly with the reasons I laid out?

People in a cult uncritically accept the behavior of their fellow members. They form a pack and attack anyone who questions their central beliefs. What really astonished me on this thread were the number of lies and smears that were directed at me. I was actually condemned to hell. You’d think a fellow Christian at some point would speak up and say enough is enough. People shouldn’t be damned to hell for questioning Q. But nothing like that ever happened bc no personal attack goes too far if it’s against an ‘outsider.’ Anything goes.

To prove you're the bigger man? To play to the audience? That's how I would do it. but I reject your premise. I dealt quite honestly with your comment, or so I thought. I am quite possibly the most honest man you've ever cyber met. Let me just clear that up.

I was actually condemned to hell.

Heh. I actually missed that post. I missed quite a few. I was on it, then forgot all about it, then came back on it. Anyway, I don't think anybody posting on here can actually condemn you to hell. I remember seeing somebody say asked for proof of God and you totally overreacting to make a point, trying to win public opinion to your side. That was a cute one. Maybe somebody WISHED you would go to hell. I don't think you have to worry about there wishes.

Yea I get what a cult it. That's why in consider it an insult. I don't feel like a cult member. I don't wanna be a cult member. Maybe there is a fine line between a group of like minded people banding together seeking to share information and working toward a common goal.

By your definition, FreeRepublic is a cult. Right? Be honest.

I think we are all freepers. All brother and sisters with basically the same goals. To you then, is this a cult within a cult? We live within America. Is America a cult? Let's take it a step further. Is Earth a cult? How do we earthlings feel about outsiders?

I digress. Anyway. Please don't call me a cultist and I wont call you a troll. I despise that term. You have your reasons for going far beyond asking questions into the realm of disruption. What they are, is your secret. Not important. I have you categorized as a nuisance.

I will not try to convince you. But I really cant believe you don't believe this stuff is real. It so simply is to me. Oh well. I'm enjoying our discourse so continue if you like.
