1: A term any arrogant religious bigot would give to any other sects inside the religion
Ex: The Muslim Community often give the term "cult" to the ahamdiyya islamic movement (the Ahmadiyya movement is actually the only Islamic sect who has not have any cases of mass genocide or extremism, and they are the most inclusive Islamic sect as well unlike the Sunnis or Shias, who are the ones who are always at war.
Ex: The Christian community gives the term "cult" to Mormons (who were cucks to begin with) and even the Roman Catholics (as it redeemed it self to be more inclusive and Progressives, which was what Christianity was supposed to be in the first place)
2: The actual term is that of a minor local gathering who does not follow a specific text and they are often really sketchy and are the one poisoning the concept of religions.
Christianstalking about Muslims: "We must eradicate that cult." Muslims talking about the Ahmadiyya movement: "We must eliminate those pretenders!"
Me: "STFU none of you get to decide what is classified as a cult
Cult (adj):
1. Particular to a specific Culture. Cult music, cult movies, cult etc. Usually hard to find and liked only by a few
2. Something (music, media, movie, person, etc.) Liked only by a few people and disliked by everyone else. Specifically, you either like it or you hate it. there is no in-between.
1. "Oh, you haven't heard of the band Kick the Robot? Makes sense, they'repretty cult"
2. "Oh, you don't like Brad? That's okay. I like him a lot, but he's kinda a cult friend."
