Sent in by NickMy first doubts began when I was 8 or 9, wondering why I never saw the god I was learning about in Sunday School, while he seemed to put in so many appearances in biblical times. Was he really watching our every action from up there in the sky and jotting it all down to be used against us on Judgment Day?Though I was "confirmed" at the age of 18, mainly to please my parents, I was never a religious person, and Christianity never formed a big part of my life, until my 8-month-old daughter died. I received kind, moral support from my Seventh Day Adventist neighbors and this period in my life was the closest I ever got to becoming involved in church activities.But I gradually drifted away, mainly over the requirement to literally believe everything contained in the Bible, though much, obviously, stretched one's imagination.So my doubts grew, though to be quite honest, I really didn't give it all that much thought, nevertheless, I guess you could call me a dormant fence-stra
Το Φεστιβάλ Cult Ελληνικού Κινηματογράφου ξαναχτυπά, για 6η συνεχή χρόνια! Το αγαπημένο event των αντικομφορμιστών σινεφίλ διαψεύδει και πάλι όλους εκείνους που πίστεψαν πως είναι απλά ένα πυροτέχνημα, επιστρέφοντας πιο δυνατό από ποτέ! Ταινίες παλιών αλλά και νεώτερων δημιουργών, live, parties, ομιλίες, εκπλήξεις, αλλά και μια super special guest αποτελούν τα βασικά όπλα της φετινής διοργάνωσης,
A big thanx to all of you who voiced your opinion! Here's a re-post of your overwhelming choice as the best from themoderateseparatist.com for 2007:THE CULT OF GOREI can see it: Back in the spring of 2001, after all of the Florida counts and recounts (and recounts) were exhausted, a plan was hatched. The goal was to use the power of ‘trend’ to reinvent former Vice President Al Gore. There had to be a raison d’etre; something that would appeal to the masses. If Gore learned anything from eight years as the understudy to Slick Willie Clinton (other than how to properly interview an intern) it was the value of fads. That, and the truth that Hollywood + rock stars = lots of media coverage and leftwing support. The most obvious target that would ensure not only the backing of the younger generation but play on the peoples sense of fear – only Gore can save the Earth! –was the environment. More specifically, the claim of global warming. Team Gore readjusted its focus from the Whit
Hat tip goes to Detroit Bad Boys for pointing this out this wonderful news!Pistons play by play man George Blaha is in Orlando this afternoon to work his Sparty gig, and call the Champs Sports bowl game. So he'll be unable to work tonight's Pistons - Pacers game. As much as I'll miss the legendary Blaha on tonight's broadcast, the Pistons have replaced him with...Mr. NCAA tournament....GUS JOHNSON! Yes, THE Gus Johnson! The man who literally owns March Madness, the favorite son of Awful Announcing, who brokered peace between the warring Bill Simmons and Isiah Thomas, who could make a meaningless Lions game sound like a Super Bowl, will be broadcasting from the Palace tonight.Yes, you can count yours truly as a member of the Cult of Gus Johnson. I became a huge fan thanks to his thrilling NCAA tournament calls, and now make a point to catch a Gus Johnson called game whenever possible. He's that good.Yet CBS doesn't treat Johsnon with the respect he deserves. CBS committed a criminal a

Nikita Borovikov is head of the Russian youth organization Nashi which means “Our,” a battle cry Russian football fans use to cheer on their teams. The organization has thousands of members scattered all over Russia and they are blindly devoted to the President Putin. “Those who think badly of us call us Putin’s troops,” says [...]
14 of the Eighth Month 5768Pre-Test:See if you qualify for membership in the Rabin Cult:1. a. Who ordered the shooting of the Jewish freedom fighters coming toward the Israeli shore on the Altalena? b. Who bragged about the attack on the Altalena while at a reception in Washington, DC?2. Whose foreign minister secretly engineered the Oslo Death Accords, and when he found out allowed them to continue anyway? (Hint: The Oslo Death Accords included the commitment on the part of Israel to arm Arab terrorists?)3. Which evil person was transformed into a martyr, in order to further the anti-Israel, Leftist, post-Zionist agenda of self-destruction?4. Which former Israeli prime minister was opposed to the formation of another Arab state side by side with Israel?Well, if you answered Yitzhaq Rabin, then you will NOT be allowed initiation into the cult, because your brainwashing has not completed. Before proceeding, you will need to go back for "re-education" in an approved setting, say for
Former devotees are accosted by Sai Baba cult members in shopping malls, supermarkets and elsewhere.
Information on them (already skewed) is gathered by Sai Baba’s members and conveyed both ‘up the chain’ of the Sathya Sai Organization or, in other cases, directly to attackers on the Internet, whose poor inferential capabilities can be spotted by anyone capable of detecting fallacious reasoning, [...]
There is a fundamental mistake that defenders of those accused of serious abuse keep on making.
Accusations of substantive abuse do not have to be proved. They have to be investigated.
An organization that does not have genuine policies and practices of transparency and accountability is per se condemned.

In the exposure of morally or criminally aberrant gurus and their cults, it is important to keep focus on one’s own exposure campaigns. This alone takes enormous time and energy.
However, there is often no communication between contra cult activists across the board, each group of whom is exposing the specific cult which it has left.
One would wish to [...]
“A number of reports have been received from devotees indicating that our Beloved Swami prevented many of his devotees from being injured or killed in the World Trade Center where they are employed or had meetings scheduled. His Miraculous Intervention on behalf of His devotees is clearly evident”.

One of the greatest human tendencies when one’s belief system is challenged is to go into the state called by psychologists psychological denial.
This process is very remote from commonsense, rigorous self-introspection and reappraisal. It distorts, warps, and narrows a person’s field of generosity and compassion.
Like countless who dissent from a belief system that they have so [...]
Former followers of Sai Baba and his other critics have found a vital need to exercise a certain, and indeed regrettable, secrecy. Of course, a lot of our secrecy evaporates - in a fortunate manner - when we deal with bona fide, respected media like law firms, the BBC, Times of London, Telegraph, UNESCO, etc., etc.
But [...]
