He was joking.
I know.

There are countless more cults and/or organizations out there that employ many of the same techniques you described and committed the crimes you mentioned. However, the average person knows nothing about the majority of them.
We know about this cult/secret society perfectly. According to net the above is the building of the skull and bones. Thinking about infiltrating their organization for my senior thesis paper in a couple of years.
Of course, nobody calls the Christians "crazy."
I do.
That's one of the most known cults/ secret societies in the world. skull and bones. u have heard of skull and bones right?
Eh, most of them aren't crazy. They just need something to believe in. Something to give their lives some sort of meaning and to give them hope.
"There are countless more cults and/or organizations out there that employ many of the same techniques you described and committed the crimes you mentioned." or at least that's something that I heard- don't know how true it was though.
Of course not, but being a Christian zealot is no worse or better than being a Scientologist, Muslim, or being of any other extreme religious predication.
For one, Skull and Bones isn't that secret, everyone should know who they are. They are an organization based in Yale, as is the RTA. Also, they aren't dangerous.
And scientology is? It is defined as a secret organization, not because we don't know about them- we do- it's because they have kept their secrets guarded and no one knows what goes on within those walls and no one knows what the society does outside of those walls. And we're talking about a society that has deep roots in the government here. I'd say that's a pretty big deal.
If they didn't have any secrets or anything to hide, why wouldn't they tell people directly what they do? what they are capable of? what are they hiding?
it is called a secret society. no one knows what goes on within those walls. that is FACT.
Only thing we know is that it exists and who some of their members are. Plus the CIA.
Other than we know nothing, by the way- it IS a secret society/organization. Look it up online.

Wait, what? How do you figure? That's an absurd claim, because of the different value sets present in all of these examples. It's not the measure of devotion, but how that measure of devotion expresses itself outwardly upon society based upon the teachings they are following. This isn't some "Religious Belief = Stupid" issue or thread. I'd invite you to expound upon your original statement, honestly.
Watch Jesus Camp and tell me if that's better than being a Scientologist.
Or look at the Crusades or any example throughout history of Christianity putting it's fist down and saying any other religion or belief is wrong.
ANY religion can be dangerous. I do believe Scientology is a very dangerous belief set in certain regards, but that isn't to say all Scientologists are necessarily bad people.
Belief isn't bad in itself, its how one acts upon the belief, or tries to force the belief onto others.
I live in the "bible belt" part of the country, so I can see firsthand examples of Christianity impeding on life. The law has decided that I can't purchase alcohol on Sunday because that's God's day or some such rubbish. There are many examples of this.
