though i have no problem with the bulk of this, chrishedges.substack.com/p/tru⦠i felt stunned disbelief with the initial paragraph
These self-proclaimed pastors β very few had any formal religious training β preyed on the despair of their congregants. They were surrounded by sycophants and could not be questioned. They merged fact with fiction, peddled magical thinking and enriched themselves at the expense of their followers. They claimed their wealth and ostentatious lifestyle, including mansions and private jets, was a sign of being blessed. They insisted they were divinely inspired and anointed by God. They were, within their hermetic circles of their megachurches, omnipotent.
it is hilarious to me that the writer apparently seeks to differentiate "ordinary" religions from "cults", when his excoriating cult description is ofc entirely applicable also to ALL religions. what an unfunny joke it is for anyone to assert or imply otherwise ππ€¦ββοΈ
