It is a bunch of people who have differing ideas about their faith from one community to the next and even one family to the next in the same community. I have heard Born Agains call Catholism a cult and Catholics call born again crazy. Were you to take each group separately you would find a number of distinct cults (based on the definition) that believe that Jesus of Nazarath is the resurected son of the one true god. Why write all this? Just to show you that just because you might have ideas that your beliefs are the norm based upon your community you will find that they are not. When you try and pit any of your beliefs against the world at large you will always find that you are in the minority. You live in a world where a basic ideas such as Killing others is wrong or Being killed by another is wrong is not universally held truth. With this in mind trying to make all others see that your far more precise ideologies are a universal truth is near impossible. Not only is this near impossible but when you gather large groups of people who are trying to do this with oposite agendas you are going to find that the basic idea tha killing others is wrong has just been thrown out with the bath water. In all things tollerance is the key, and I don't know if anyone knows where it went.[/quote] Which is all fine and dandy...as long as the institution in question (cult, if you will ;) ) keeps its beliefs to itself, and does not try to force them on others. Members can consider themselves the Grand High Poobas of truth, and look down their noses at other, less unfortunate "beings" - and as long as they are keeping their beliefs to themselves, fine. Xianity however is not tolerant; it attempts to force its beliefs on others.
