Concepts of God and Religion

125. The definition of a cult proves my case.

The "All Faiths Coalition" that you argued couldn't possibly be a cult simply because of the name they'd chosen? You argue that just because something calls itself a "church", that doesn't mean it can't be a cult, but you also argue just as arrogantly in post 70 above that if something calls itself a "Coalition", then it can't possibly be a cult....no way, no how. It seems to escape your dizzying intellect that a cult can call itself anything it wants, and still be a cult. Getting it yet? Is the intellectual bankruptcy of your cult-based argument sinking in?

Here's hoping I can help you get it.

How could an All Faiths Coalition be a cult?

I know that a cult can call itself anything it wants. However, IF Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Muslims and people from other faiths joined a Humanitarian and Interfaith or All Faiths Coalition for Peace, Freedom and Justice, they would obviously not be a “cult.” They would be people from different faith traditions cooperating and collaborating to created Interfaith dialogue, cooperation, and collaboration to help people come together in common purpose for the common good of Mankind.

Besides that, the definition of “cult” proves and supports my case.

the definition of a cult is: 1. A particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies. 2. An organized group that devotes itself to or venerates a person. 3. a religion or sect considered to be false or extremist. And the word cult comes from the Latin cultus, meaning habitation and worship, which is a variation of the word colere, meaning to inhabit and worship.

Now, let’s look at the facts.

1. A. The anonymous suggestions in the message are not about building an organization or a religion or a religious sect or a system of religious worship that would have rites or ceremonies. In fact, his messages promotes Interfaith dialogue, cooperation and understanding of the essential purpose of religions so that religious denominations, sects and groups that have become theocratic and cultish may be corrected and reformed. Therefore, he is not a religious leader, but a reformer of religious groups that have become theocratic and cultish.

B. His suggestions are also that we follow the advice of the Founders of the United States of America regarding religion, separation of church and state, and preventing Theocracy to ensure equality and freedom of religions.

2. His work and message has not produced, and is not designed to produce, an organized group that devotes itself to or venerates a person. Rather, according to prophecies he does not exalt himself, is hidden, confesses he is only human and flawed, and says that only God the eternal, infinite, omnipresent Great Spirit-Parent is worthy of worship. Reverence or worship of any man or woman, living or dead, is idol worship.

3. His mission is not to found a new religion or sect, or to lead an existing religion or sect, although according to prophecy many theocratic religious leaders in the world have and will consider his message to be false, extreme, heretical, apostasy. But that's expected. Prophets are always resented or hated at first by the religious establishments.

Now do you get it?

I suspect that even if you did, you wouldn't admit it.
