What are you scared of?

[Dyne]

I'm pretty much scared of math. It's called Dyscalculia.

[Professor S]

Islamic messianic cults who want to bring about the apocolypse with nuclear weapons.

Needles. Trypanophobia. And I'm studying medicine.

Is that any different than Western Cults who want to adversly stop the Islamic cults from bringing about the apocolypse with nuclear weapons by stopping them with nuclear weapons?

[manasecret]

Oh, I misunderstood. You said look straight acting, so I thought you meant some celebrity actors scare you like that.

Ok, please name the "Western Cults" that are threatening the eastern ones with Nuclear weapons... just name one... any one.

I'll help you out, there aren't any. And no, the US has NEVER threatened any Islamic nation with nuclear weapons. Meanwhile Iran is getting them and is run by a pretty insane islamic cult who wants us all Muslim or dead. Thats their official POLICY.

This is where relativism is perverse and self-destructive. To compare a country like Iran and its openly insane nature to any other current western culture is sheer idiocy. There is no comparison. Iran's president has stood on the UN floor and openly PRAYED for the Apocalypse to come, while having it written in policy that it is HE that will bring it about.

But I'm sure that none of this will ever come about. Its all just fantasy... question: what exactly do you think would happen if islamic terrorists killed the Pope? Thats exactly how close we are to all hell breaking out, a hell that they want to happen.

If you aren't scared, you should be.

I was stating the sillyness in you calling it a cult.
Define the difference between a middle eastern cult, and any western religion, please?
Is it differed on the ideals, or based on how many people follow it?
It's based on neither.

And the "western cult" would be the Christians.
There.
I named one.

1) Christians have never threatened Islam with nuclear weapons. To ever state that they did is a bold faced lie or a demonstratioon of sheer ignorance. If you think I'm taking you out of context, read your own posts.

2) I call it a "cult", because its outside of what most consider mainstream Islam. I am not a fan of traditional Islam to begin with, but the kind that is pushed by Iran literally believes that it is THEIR duty to bring about the apocalypse... and the're trying to get Nulear weapons. THATS a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.

3) To compare moderrn Christianity with Iran's form of Islam is doomed on conception. There IS NO COMPARISON. To call Christianity a cult is just shows you know have no idea what a cult is. Lets look at offenses. Christianity can be charged with the ubiquitous charge of "cultural imperialism", while the Iran's form of Islam wants to wash the earth in the blood of the unbelievers to bring about the apocalypse. THAT IS A CULT BY ANY DEFINITION. The fact that this cult runs a nation does not validate them, it simply makes them quite dangerous.

Stop being PC. Stop pretending that everything is ok and we are no better than those that want to kill us for not believing in the exact same religion they do. Most of all, stop using relativism as a reason to shroud yourself in cultural ignorance. Blanket statements like `every religion is a cult' aren't enlightening, they are a continuation of an idiotic worldview hat could be the end of our way of life and even OUR LIVES. Start reading, thinking and objectively examining the situation, then form an opinion. I am finished with this dialogue until you can form an argument that shows you really care enough about your own opinions to support them with real information.

So the difference between a cult and a religion is how mainstream it is? The more people who follow it, and know about it, suddenly the more plausible and credible it is? I find that ignorant.


EDIT:

I'm not pretending. I'm sorry if you cant carry on your life and be happy, and not live every second in fear, but I can. If you're scared of terrorism, you might as well be as equally scared of dying every time you get in a car, your house catching on fire, drowning when you swim, being shot by a stray bullet in a gun fight randomly, an earthquake, a tornado, a hurricane. I find it silly to dwell on the things we cannot control. Dont call my ways of living my life "pretending".

And to be fair, yes, they want to kill western religion. And western religion wants to assimilate them back. Different ways around the same thing: Having your religion succeed and dominate.
