  Recently, their has been a discussion on the net of whether or not
Mormons are a cult. Well, here is another definition of what a cult is.
Opinions posted would be appreciated.

     A cult is a religious group deemed deviant by a society
to the extent that the joining of the group by well-educated,
upper-middle class young people is an embarassment to those
that raise the children in a liberal home, and/or are dismayed
that these people are turning to a group that is not caonsidered
normal by our society, because it relies upon things other than
reason,logic etc.
 
   Please, reflect upon it, and do not flame me to much.
