So is Christianity.
They're mostly only different in size and age, but Scientology has some pretty decent power for a young religion.
Yeah but Scientology has nothing to do with Jesus...
Actually that's not true. They say he's a fictional character from a brainwashing movie that Xenu and his armies made all the souls watch. In giant theatres. After they were strapped to volcanoes and bombarded with nuclear weapons.
You have a rather strange definition of cult.
How are you defining a cult? Is it the way it is defined, or the way you define it so that it fits most religions?
Okay. You guys are ignorant twits.

Christianity is a fricking Mystery Cult.
AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE.
I am very critical of Scientology.
I am like the Loren of Scientology.
You've got us on the technical meaning of a word, but not the common usage.
Beating up scientologists.
You had better not be one!
I'm pretty sure my sister's pet duck is Lorenish towards Scientology.
CHILLLLLLLLLLLLL people.
This isn't SE++.
You can't expect me to stick to "common" word usage here.
So you're using the broadest definitions and ignoring the more acute ones. Gotcha.
Yes I can.
Or did we all start arguing with our dictionaries?
Goodnight, Fish.
I'm using the ones actually used in critical discussion.
You do realize that the common definition of a cult is "That religion that isn't our religion."
Just like "Myth."
They're subjective and thus nigh-useless.
Hell, common usage of "Gay" is "I don't like that."
Well, the thread is 11 pages old.
Autumn Tears.
The unconventional manner of life that christians follow is what, exactly? Talking to themselves and congregating weekly?
Nina Simone
Pope?
It's just a band.
Shit you mean that growing poison on boats and stalking vocal anti-scientologists is normal?
Blackmailing IRS agents and wrestling Oprah is rather unconventional.
Compared to Crusades and building temples around a dead guy's jaw?

Faith healing.

I get annoyed when people try to claim something is different by definition just because it's different from what they're used to.
It's the kind of shit logic people used to enslave other peoples, or to pick on people in grade school.

OH NO BECAUSE OUR SOCIETY IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ONE FROM 1000 YEARS AGO! SHITS!
