I was going to the Chinese embassy in NZ earlier, and there was this huge Falungong demonstration on. Made it so hard to get in, god dam cultists and some of them were doing their meditation crap.
So I decided that a discussion on cults would be nice

Meditation is better than animal sacrificing.

Cults are the manifestation of people insecure with their origins and yearning to be a part of a "greater" social/religious group.

freemasons are not a cult, and no, they do not worship the devil. haven't you ever seen national treasure??? the masons are like a club, which is far from a cult.
Freemasonry explicitly and openly states that it is neither a religion nor a substitute for one. "There is no separate Masonic God", nor a separate proper name for a deity in any branch of Freemasonry.[47][48]
Regular Freemasonry requires that its candidates believe in a Supreme Being, but the interpretation of the term is subject to the conscience of the candidate. This means that men from a wide range of faiths, including (but not limited to) Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, etc. can and have become Masons

Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture considers outside the mainstream
"cult" in its original meaning "religious practice"
take it as its ment definition
a Cult doesnt stop being one just cuz its mainstream
ALL Religions or Group base beliefs are cults

Dude grow up, just because someone isn't the same type of Christian as you doesn't mean that they are involved in a cult.
Are you Catholic? Protestant? Because if so, by your logic both of those are also "cults".
