Entertain me..
P.S. Bored and I received further infraction points AGAIN for the same reason after giving a solid irrefutable explanation for my "opinion." I don't have an agenda, I am just curious to find out what you think the difference is.
Wooooho!
Belief is not an action, right, and belief cannot be attained by any command. So tell me this is infraction points due to your belief in yours 'opinion'?
P.S. entertaining you...

Re: What's the difference between a religion and a cult?
When a cult is able to establish itself for several generations, it a "religion." Before that, it is dismissed as a dangerous threat to "real religion". Though It is not easy to survive over several generations with wacko and self destructive practices.
Mormonism has survived and it will likely be remembered as religion...I don't know what will become of scientology though..too early to tell.
