Ask this guy.

Cults are self-destructive. I thought about this, and I concluded that the attraction is that cults (and addictions, and co-dependences, and mafia membership and so on ) "sanction" evil and harmful things. For a while, anyway.
And you can count those hate-mongering "Devangelical Churches" among the cults.

The price?
All wiseguys fully expect to either go to jail or get whacked. They have absolutely no delusions that they are going to live long lives
