No, that's not true. One of the key signs of a cult is that it doesn't have many members. One of the key signs of an abusive religion is that it cuts the victim of from their support structure, whether that religion be a cult or a larger religion. You seem to be talking as though the word cult meant abusive religion. I can assure you that though many religions are abusive, an equal proportion are both small and large, cult and non cult. Most victims of religious abuse are not in cults, because most religious people are not in cults. When you mix up cults with abusive religions, it becomes hard to tell the difference between the two, and you make it harder for people to see the abuses committed by larger religions.
Anyone who thinks Sheol is torture is a fake Christian who didn't read the Bible.
Elvenking's album The Pagan Manifesto is pretty awesome.
TL;DL: pagans make better music than Christians
Why would they use a rich guy as an allegory for the lord, tho? It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, so why are the Hebrews and elohim the rich people in this allegory?
One who takes the lives of the poor and the nonhuman as though they were property is of the owning class. Eating meat and driving a car is bourgeois. Only one who rejects their privilege to take the lives of others through property relations is a worker.
Car-hostile laws won't make you homeless, but they will make it so being too disabled to drive is less of a contributing factor to homelessness.
No, I am forced to do it. I lost my job and became homeless because I can't drive a car.
I'm clearly not understanding the problem, because I think the only answer is 14!. What am I getting wrong?
I love it when the top Google result for a problem is a thread saying to Google it. Exactly what I needed, thanks asshole.
Boo cars. I hate cars. I hope that car driver gets a massive fine.
Microsoft having to train a new team of contractors on their engine every 6 months is why Halo 6 was delayed so much. It's a horrible business practice that didn't help a single person involved.
