Cult and religious indoctrination only differs in degree.

[Epsilon=One]

I assume many Viewers are following the Texas polygamy raid on the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) ranch/temple that has removed some 400 to 500 children from their homes. (www.sltrib.com/news/ci_8822573)

How do you explain to all those that criticize the FLDS that for anyone who belongs to an organized religion that promotes/believes in a god with anthropic qualities that the cult indoctrination of all the involved FLDS people is different only in degree to that of any such organized religion?

It is such indoctrination that makes possible the manipulation of persons against their self-interest for the interest of others.

Just a suggestion, if you were to use simple words instead of complex words more people may understand what it is that your saying. Could you reword you entry?

To Epsilon=One: I agree with Stacy, be more simple to others, because not everybody has Master degree who visiting Forum.

"is different only in degree"
It is the degree that is crucial- being annoyed with someone and being angry enough to kill them differ only in degree.
