Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture considers outside the mainstream, with a notably positive or negative popular perception. In common or populist usage, "cult" has a positive connotation for groups of art, music, writing, fiction, and fashion devotees, but a negative connotation for new religious, extreme political, questionable therapeutic, and pyramidal business groups. For this reason, most, if not all, non-fan groups that are called cults reject this label.

Re: Poll: Worst cult
I would gladly pick them ALL, Brother Nobar, but that wouldn't tell us which is WORST.
I didn't see "Atheism" up there, though, or "Darwinism".www.palibandaily.com - Your Christian News Source

Re: Poll: Worst cult
I would have to say Alcoholics Anonymous. I mean really. A twelve step program towards salvation? Too much pride and self. Jesus did it in one simple step...
Repent
If the Lord leads you to it, he will get you through it.

It took me some time to tick all the boxes, but I think it was well worth it. Glory Brother Nobar!Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

The choices are great pretty much all of them for me.(2 Peter 3:10)
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Re: Poll: Worst cult
It looks like the Cathoholics are winning. I wonder what our resident boy-buggerers think of that?www.palibandaily.com - Your Christian News Source

Say, what about Santaism?
Millions of children worship this perverted man in a red suit, who beckons young boys and girls to sit on his lap and tell him what they REALLY want.
Now, we all know that he's a Cathoholic (since he's also known as SAINT Ick), but I think he's got a cult all his own!www.palibandaily.com - Your Christian News Source

Re: Poll: Worst cult
I must say Alcoholics Anonymous.
The bastards should be registered like we register sex offenders so we can rightfully invade their privacy and have True Christian soldiers show up at their doors to aid them in getting to hell just that much faster.
Repent Ye Drunkards!
They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Lot went outside to meet them and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” Genesis 19:4-8

Here at Landover, we're well aware that ANYONE can be Saved(c), if he wants to. Why, Sister Mary Maria's husband Mr. Whitford is a graduate of the Betty Bowers Baptists Are Saving Homersexurals program, and Remy LeBeau is an accomplished ex-Negro!
Even a drunk Homer like Mr. Whitford can open up for the deep, penetrating Love of our Lord Jesus and give up his wicked toe-tapping ways.
That said, Alcoholics Anonymous certainly is a horrible cult. They teach their adherents that they should "let go and let God", as though God is going to drop the entire universe -- dealing with war in Darfur and the Middle East, and the approach of Planet X, and dragons in the British Isles, and drag queens in the New Orleans Wal-Mart aisles -- and rush to stop some self-hating drunk from chugging a beer! And then they have the gall to call this narcissism "humility"!Disgusting!
If you'll pardon me, I must go into my Prayer Closet now and ask the Lord for aid making a rather delicate decision. You see, I'm considering changing from my regular clear nail polish to a white polish, but I'm concerned the Lord may think colored polish unladylike.www.palibandaily.com - Your Christian News Source
