I've made clear my hate for Christianity but I'd much rather have a Catholic church in my neighborhood than anything I would honestly define as a cult. Cults are much scarier.

Let's be honest.

Mormons? They might knock on your door occasionally but they bring cookies sometimes.

Mormonism is weird as ****. And some of their branched out subset compounds are cults but Mormonism, while very stupid and very bad, isn't a cult. Mormons
tithe 10% to their creepf*ck religion. Cult members give 100% and...you know the difference.

So does that mean nuns and monks are in a cult but other Catholics aren't?

I didn't know that about you. If you don't mind me asking what were you affiliated before, and what denomination are you? I just want to know just out of curiosity.

We're talking about people who believe in magical cannibalism here. That's pretty disturbing.

Yeah, I know. That's why I mentioned the magical cannibalism.
