What's the difference between a religion and a cult?

@Theorist

Loved your response! You are the only one who really understood what I was trying to say. Thank you! As for the last para of your post, this is a valid reason from your POV to delete any such statements by anyone on this forum. It is fear after all, ain’t it? I applaud you for at least recognizing it while everybody else really failed. For the same reason I know Pakistan will never change either. Hence, my efforts to keep trying to reconnect with it when I have hardly anything in common with its people, culture, and religion are pointless. From here on, I will not make any statements that express my feelings about religion and God.

Peace to all…

I thank you for the undeserved compliments, but I will clarify the point about “fear” … not it is not fear … it is the sense of just reaction … it is called ghaira in Arabic … it is the appropriate response to incredulity, even if that was not the intent of the instigator to annoy or ridicule, the reaction demonstrates - a sacred line has been crossed.
