   Huh?  Beware of psychotic cults who brainwash, assault, steal, and kill?   
      
   Nah...   
      
   How about Christianity?  Ever heard of the Merovingian Dynasty of France?   
   The Pope paid someone to murder their heir, and set the murderer up as   
   ruler.   
   It was all a "freak hunting accident", a misplaced lance to the eye socket.   
      
   There's also the notorious Thuggee cult of India, strangling many, many,   
   many   
   people, in the name of their goddess Khali, and they got to keep the   
   personal   
   effects too.   
      
   Many religions have deep, dark closets, and they're often full to the   
   ceiling,   
   stacked with skeletons.  Who are we to judge any religion?  What right do we   
   have to call it a cult, and not a religion?  What defines a cult?  A   
   religion?  Just   
   remember, one man's cult is another man's religion.   
      
   Yes, Scientology is a floating, flying ass-fuck as far as religions go, but   
   there are   
   quite afew others.
