Re: What’s the difference between a religion and a cult?
Both wife and hooker are people trying to survice in this world. IMO, most hookers are victims. A legal execution and murder is a different comparison than wife and hooker.
A better comparison for the first case - what is the difference between a person who has consensual sex and a rapist. It is time we stopped denigrating women who just try to get by and make a living. Especially as a religious person, one should empathize with the victim (hooker) rather than view them with disdain (as one would a murder).
Also, the bar appears to be high for Theorist - she should be free to express her views - her conclusion religion = cult was a direct result of Nom’s post which (sarcastically I assume) stated both to be equal.
If one is secure in one’s religion, no need to assign infraction points to silence intelligent debate - even if the point of view is diametricaly opposite of the majority.
