as long as they all have the roast I dont suppose it matters that much.

How do you know everyone on earth is only human? Doesnt the bible make reference that you may be etertaining angels and not know it? Just because you have not personally seen something do you really discount all of the witness accounts documented as to miracles and such?
Sigh... there are no Gods, nor is there a God. There is only the concept.
Depends how you define cult... all organized religion is a cult because all religion utilizes group-think to control and delude people.
The only non-cults are those which say "don't believe, experiment and confirm".
there might be "gods" beyond conception, unwise imo to state categorically that there aren't, because you can't know for sure. the facts of their existence or whether they exist lie beyond desire and the conclusive mind imo. to find out any truth surely one must drop conclusions. of course this depends also on how one defines a god, i would say a being who is beyond ego but then that is also a conclusion
Good history. One should be able to see that cult was not pejorative either to Weber et al.(The term "cult" first appeared in English in 1617, derived from the French culte, meaning "worship" or "a particular form of worship" which in turn originated from the Latin word cultus meaning "care, cultivation, worship," originally "tended, cultivated," as in the past participle of colere "to till the soil". In French, for example, sections in newspapers giving the schedule of worship at Catholic churches are headed Culte Catholique; the section giving the schedule of Protestant churches is headed culte réformé. The meaning "devotion to a person or thing" is from 1829.

Oh the definition in my head is similar to yours...
Not the top def's of the dictionairies

That is Christianity I believe...
As I understand it....Judaism doesn't believe in G!d having a son.... Judaism's messiah doesn't have to come back..it is a one trip solution.
Some Jews do become Christians....and some Christians become Jews... all quite interesting.
