    Though cults are bad the church takes an appalingly hypocritical view of them.After all Christianity was a cult which developed out of mainstream Judaism mixed with the beliefs of Jesus.Early christianity had alot of similiarities to modern cults.They followed the beliefs of one man who they believed divine,just like a cult worships the greedy **** at the top who gets the hard cash.The church must remember that Christianity was formed out of a very popular cult.

    If you look at old threads on this subject, it is almost impossible to form a definition of a cult!

    Add this to the fact that people are allowed religious freedom in this country, and you will find it is not possible to frame such a law without a referendum, and even then there might be unfoseen implications if we did amend the constitution, and try to bar certain trypes of religion/sceintific cults.

    So? Young people hand over money for alcohol a lot too and don't get it back. Let's ban that.

    You can't ban cults and leave out "main" religions. They're the same thing except with different membership numbers.

    .. Alcohol doesn't take over your life (unless you're an alcoholic but that's a different story), it doesn't try to take all your money and your possessions and it doesn't turn you against your friends and family.

    Being an alcoholic is analogous to being very religious in this comparsion.

    Alcohol can and does take most or all of the money, possessions, friends and family of people who abuse it seriously.

    ok fair enough let people join cults if they realy wish to do so but i just dont like the whole in your face means in which some of these cults use to attract young people . I mean the schools should start to teach students all about these cults in great detail and explain what needs to be known about them.
