This was one of the most even handed articles I have ever read addressing faith and cults. All religions are cults depending on your point of view. Those of you of faith need to get over yourselves. This is a non issue. I know this to be true because a burning bush told me.

Depending upon your point of view? Depending upon DEFINITIONS!! Can't we all just open a Marriam Webster Dictionary and see how far off this article is? My god, has intelligence checked out of the USA and gone home?

Actual intelligence and religion rarely collide.

The canard is this: "A religion is just a cult with political power."

NIce quote! Did somebody smart say that first? If not you are now the smart guy and i intend to willfully plagiarize you. Well done.
