Lord…three comments. Three comments in before “don’t be a jerk to people different than you” is called a cult.
It always astonishes me the degree to which “don’t be an asshole” is considered a radical position.
oh, zarzavat, of course, you are obviously correct:
it’s the people who sell “F#%K your feelings” t-shirts at rallies and wave nazi flags at “legitimate political discourse” who really care about others.
Trump: truly an empathetic person, deeply caring about others.
Assholes never like being told they are assholes. It’s unsurprising that they believe everyone else is just as mean as they are.

#17Not nearly enough cult activity in the modern era. Waiting for something chill, ideally psychedelic, not too weird, good parties. Initiations are must.

Sign me up. I just want to live in the forest, eat mushrooms, and occasionally dance naked around a fire under the light of the full moon. Is that to much to ask for?
Re: Are you in a Religious Cult? Take the test
#19Many questions are subjective. This kind of invalidate the whole test.. :>
- Does your leader have impressive, made-up names or titles?
- Is your group suspicious about the outside world?
- If you were to leave your religious group, would remaining members, even family members separate themselves from you whereby there would be any emotional detachment?
- If you were to leave your religious group, would remaining members separate themselves from you and cease to have normal family life as in any of the above examples?
