I was watching something about cults. And they were talking about how scary and dangerous they are because followers tend to follow blindly and not ask questions of their leaders... Which is relatively true, I think.
But then that got me to thinking, isn't blindly following, non-questioning believers exactly what Organized Religion is based on? I've found that once people start to question most religious groups they are seen as "outsiders" or "doubters." Which is generally the same as with cults...
So, what makes Cults so dangerous and scary while Organized Religions are simply a normal way of life for so many. Are there any real differences, beyond number of followers? Really? Or is it all just in the perception?
What do you think?
