Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Just an insane cult trying to look normal. These are seriously deranged individuals who belong in an asylum.

It’s a faith of tens of millions. Your claims are unhinged.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you saying the only difference between being a cult or not is the number of followers??

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No as the age of the faith is also a factor but otherwise religions are just cults that became very successful.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Religions are just cults where the founder has been dead long enough.

Well, there was one who came back for a little bit, so they say.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah with how many people voted for Trump in America I believe People everywhere are unhinged and anybody that follows any religion is completely unhinged because they have zero basis of reality and it's all manufactured

The different sects of the Yahweh cult murder, torture and rape in the name of some storm god from the bronze age for millennia, take over whole continents, controlling every aspect of society through brainwashing, violence and fear, but I'm the unhinged one? Get a grip.

They don’t do this for a stone age thunder god even though that is El/Allah/YHWH’s origin.

You have bits and pieces of an education regarding this subject but not the full picture and thus your conclusions are inaccurate at best.

Of course they don't think so. Cultists seldom know why they do things. All they know is that they have to do what they are told by their authority. These are abused and damaged people.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Religious peopleare the overwhelming majority. The majority arent abused and damaged people.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Leaving the cult often comes with huge stigma and/or threats of violence from either family or even the captured state. So there is no way to be sure how many religious people there actually are just by asking people. No one is born religious, that we can be sure of. It is forced upon you. Some sects even mark their children through genital mutilation.

You seem like the type of person that said I need context for Charlie Kirk, the guy was a dick and an asshole and a racist but you wanna say you need more context, go jump up yourself

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ehh dont change the subject. 1 thing has nothing to do with another. That's crazy person arguing.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I don't think it is, you have the same attitude as him so again jump up yourself
