     I'm sure that according to the Jews in the days of Jesus, he and
his followers would be labeled a "cult" in that they fit each and
every one of these conditions.  Anyways, as christians, we should
respect the beliefs of others (as we expect them to respect our
beliefs) and not go around trying to destroy their beliefs.  If they
show an interest in discussing their beliefs, fine, but it is
un-christian to go around destroying the faiths of any whom we
think "unorthadox".
