Rosy, you're being extremely offensive.
Nobody likes a jerk, so just stop while you're in last place

I'll let the admins deal with this, I'm out.

Nobody likes a jerk, so just stop while you're in last place If being fair, basing my analysis purely off the religions history and coming to my own conclusions makes me a jerk then I embrace the term willingly.
I dont deal in absolutes and I dont have to like cultism Being normalized or defended.
And considering how many of these religions have killed,raped or otherwise destroyed humanity in the past. I have every right to be insulting that level of truly cultish behavior. Im not a jerk for being critical of religion, or cults. And considering how much I study mythology , to say my reaction to religion is anything short of justifiable is more insulting.
If you dont think thats reasonable Then I cant help but offend you. And how hypocritical to look at my frankly unbaised and historical based analysis and judge me on account that it might upset someone.
Its that kind of selfish nature that I reject.
I also feel I must reiterate that Thousands of people have died due to people Following religion to the letter. I refuse to accept being murdered just because you think Im overly critical.
If anything my anti-religiousness is a form of self defense. one that thankfully doesnt include murdering my opponents.

I'll let the admins deal with this, I'm out. Which words are flaming? I only see a statement of opinions and observations...
She uses the word "cult" wrong, though, cults are usually manipulative in the sense of love-bombing, shunning, and isolating the cultmember from the outside influences. Jehovahs Witnesses could be considered a Christian-based cult.
People who follow their religion to the letter are simply Fundamentalists

If anything my anti-religiousness is a form of self defense. one that thankfully doesnt include murdering my opponents. Too many things wrong with this to give a proper response. Nobody except terrorists (Which ARE a cult) and psychopaths would kill you for being overly critical, but the fact you refuse to admit you're not only failing to stay on the topic of game religions, but you're ATTACKING other religions by classifying them as cults is why I believe the admins will have to deal with you. I'm not gonna bother with this anymore, since I already had my game religions set before this thread was even made, and I don't deal well with conflict. I could literally have a heart attack if I don't leave now.
And Ahzoh, she's attacking religions, which is off the original topic of creating a religion for a game. The attack was uncalled for, and thus, I'm sure it is flaming.
Read up on the rules.

And like wise fundamentals are going to try to sway your emotions by the same means- using threats,excommunication, and slander.In my opinion the difference is size. Cults tend to be small- maybe a coupla thousand- but something like Baptists or the much scorned Mormons theyre considered fundamentalists. Culturally speaking they start and act similar to the smaller cults.
So I just dont see much use in the definition change. they are cults as far as Im conserned cause they both rob that sense of agency and self.

Yes, off topic, but I wouldn't call it "attacking", per se.
Only terrorists and psychopaths would kill us for voicing criticism? Yea, then there are a frightening amount of them in the Middle-East, in Russia and Southern US!
