In your opinion, is Scientology a cult? [Spirituality & Religion]

@ViciDraco ehh kinda but some don’t dictate policies that entrap. Like Amish keep girls education to below eighth grade. And if they leave they get cut off from their family support system. So no education and no help makes it hard to leave. Christians are annoying but they’re not THAT entrapping! Just guilt trips!

@FunReader55 you must have forgotten that whole Inquisition phase, eh? And the wars between Catholics and Anglicans. And witch hunts. And communal shunning. Christians have been through all of that before. They've grown out of it for now, but it was all there.

@ViciDraco sure the crusades and all that but it’s been hundreds of years. Today they just presume they can “enlighten” you if you’ll just talk to them! Annoying as hell but not entrappping.

@FunReader55 There's 5 states that you can deny your kids medical care if you don't believe in the doctor like some Christians. The Followers of Christ believe in faith healing and as a result many kids have died over the span of about 15 years or so. For instance one kid died after not being treated for diabetes. Their still out there but the media doesn't report on it. You also can't discount the many off set cults inspired by Christianity as well.

@FunReader55 There's also still witch hunts of mostly kids, elderly and women in Africa to this modern day, started by the Christians. There's a whole tribe of just women who are mostly victims of witch hunts themselves in Kenya. They are allowed to date but no men may rule just specifically because the women have been targeted.
