I personally have very special beliefs, am of catholic confession but more inclined towards other religions and philosophies. This questionning stems from a real world case which I have been wondering about for some time now : a person who, after a huge disappointment in one crucial choice, turned to religion and recently admitted to a revelation, without wanting to tell me the details (the relatives thought that person was going nuts when they heard). That person is extremely succesful in many areas, and deeply insecure as far as emotions are concerned. Ability to make strong decisions for self appears weak in that person, but not in all occurences. So here, I am exploring psychology rather than my own faith. With a question in mind, I admit : where is the line between faith as a "joyful celebration" and sects and manipulation? And is there such a thing as a "typical sect candidate"? I know firm believers who essentially apply their beliefs to a healthy couple, family, lifestyle. I now know persons who are torn between their nature, what they perceive as sin, their ability to choose, and "assisted choices". When does one stop or commits to take charge of such a person?
