I've wondered the same. What's so bad about just being a cult,
even if it really isn't? If we are going to be accused of being a cult
anyway, why not just be one?
It can be a special kind of cult, one which has no single
charismatic leader, one where people must think for themselves,
a cult which does not do your thinking for you. This can be a
cult that does not demand one's resources. Perhaps we could
improve greatly the reputation of the term cult. spike
