The only difference between a cult and a religion is numbers. 20 followers? That's a cult. 20 million followers? That's a religion. 

I honestly can’t believe CNN would take seriously this joker with a str8 face after dan savage turned his name into noun.

Respectfully, your posting as well as Santorum’s statements reflect a poor understanding of culture in general, current US culture and Native American cultures. You put a counterargument right in your posting when you mention food, architecture, etc. Culture isn’t just dance and religion. It’s everything related to…

I think the difference is framing it as “we built a country from nothing” instead of recognizing that a nation was destroyed to build a different one. Santorum basically expressed it in a “genocide is great if you’re the ones to do it” way, and that was the objectionable part to me.

If the best scenario is Scientology, that’s not too bad. Despite it being obvious that fewer are joining them and paying thousands of dollars in classes, they have invested their money so well, especially in real estate, they might never disappear. Their tax exemption is such a scam, legalized Ponzi scheme is a total…

Motherfucker we’ve JUST been saved from Last Man Standing

I wouldn’t say “never.” But it would take probably take a catastrophic reset in society or civilization and most of us here wouldn’t survive anyway.

That’s why you’ll never get another major religion, as soon as they gain any traction the pushback from society is too intense, since their fairy tales aren’t already ingrained into our culture. Mormonism got in just under the wire, and even they have a ton of resistance. From the 20th century on the best you can hope…

Is that to the first sentence or the second?

Well.... conventional catholicism is a cult if ever there was one. Top dude (Mr. Pope) is appointed by god to lead the masses. Most of the popes over the century were as far from saintly as you can get. I know I don’t even have to go there with the issues with priests. You know, the guys who are told by god and the…

The problem is, that the slippery slope argument is the ONLY argument these kind of people have. What if what if what if... some completely unrealistic thing happens? That’d be TERRIBLE! And you WANT THAT?!

Sorry, Dave Foley was a core member of Kids in the Hall. Anything after that is a step down, no matter how good it is.

Joe Rogan is the patron saint of dudes who are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

I would pass out laughing if Epstein’s black book comes out and Trump’s entry is: “can’t afford/doesn’t pay bills/too much trouble finding Ivanka lookalikes”. Then the Q crowd starts with “see? Not a pedo trafficker, just tried to fuck his daughter is all.”

To be clear, Melinda was also an employee of Microsoft (and one of the only women in a senior level at the time) at the time they got together. And Bill was already a millionaire. He made his first million in 1987 and they didn’t get married until 1994. This is not out of the realm of possibility that this may be his…

LOL I could kick myself for not anticipating that after that kinda nice kiss between Zabel and Mare, that Zabel would be dead meat afterwards. I wonder if she’ll try to commiserate with Zabel’s mom. (that was a joke)

Whenever I watch this show, some how I keep thinking “When is HBO going to have a series where Angourie Rice plays Amy Adams daughter?”. Like a “Sharp Objects 2".

They better spend the last two episodes focused on Siobhan’s band or else that lengthy article about it here would have been for naught.

I, for one, am absolutely STUNNED that a billionaire and one of the richest people in the world was coercing employees into sexual relationships while also cultivating a friendship with a convicted sex offender and trafficker of underage girls.
