Best post in thread, Dave. I'm pissed off that you were more brave than me in putting it that way... ;-)

Nah then, Joe. I did not intend the pejorative in that post, just saying as I was that you had unintentionally defined organised religions. I'm no aficionado of the latter, as you know, but they are most decidedly not cults. I did say in the reply to your post what more was needed than you'd said to define a cult, and I also gave you something to google in a separate post. Perhaps I understand a little more, and you understand a little less, than you think...
