In other religious news, the head of another group who has been known to abuse children and the only head of a religious order who is a former Hitler Youth is visiting America.
As Bill Maher said, "Cults get raided. Religions get parades."

Religion in the news
Religion is like drugs. It's OK to dabble in it a bit, but if you devote your life to it, the end result is not pretty. Case in point: a 16 year old girl with 4 kids, pregnant 13-14 year olds, and a bunch of Mormons in a compound in TX. Its a good thing Mitt Romney dropped out of the race, this would not have been good for him. I know, I know, the Mormons officially disavow this shit, but still, it is their heritage.

The first part, that's not always true. The TX compound was more like a cult than a religion. In fact, they broke away from the official Mormon religion and formed their own cult. In no way, am I honoring the Mormons, I think they're pretty strange.
On another note, that's funny what you mentioned in the second paragraph. That's true about the Pope and he's no big deal either. In fact, there's some protest for him being here. Read it at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080413/ap_on_re_us/pope_protests.
The difference between a cult and a religion is a very fine line. 100 members and you're a cult, 1 billion and you're a religion. The difference? Numbers only.
I see now what you meant. Numbers determine a cult/religion. Who comes up with these things?
