New Pope... J.D. Vance is wrong!

You made it sound as if putting an ideal above one's relationship with siblings and parents was a sign of madness.
Cult ≠ madness. Some cults are a positive influence on some people.
Examples are the Mormon church and college fraternities.
I was in a fraternity for two years before I wisened up.
Mormons can have a very positive influence on people that need that sort of thing. But also very negative on those that don’t.
Both examples I gave require a degree of giving up personal independence.
I happen to do better without an organization or charismatic leader telling me how to live my life.

300 Spartans gave their lives at Thermopylae for the ideal of Greek freedom. If their only worthwhile purpose in life was to cultivate relationships with siblings and spouses, they would have told Leonidas to get fucked when he asked them to march to the hot gates to meet the Persian armies.
So your point is that soldiers are part of a cult?

I don't know of any.

No, I was taking your assertion to it's logical conclusion. You apparently don't think any ideal or principle is ever worth placing above the comfort of a hereditary relationship with siblings and parents.
You apparently think you’re a mind reader.
 
I'm sure the MAGATs have already been directed to hate on Pope Leo. I also suspect that he was chosen at least in part because the Vatican hopes to bring American Catholic MAGATs back to Jesus and the Church. We all know that there isn't a single shred of Christianity in the Cult of the Orange Antichrist.
Bring MAGA to God, impossible.
 
Ranked love? I'm on the fence about this one. I mean, I'd give a kidney or a portion of my liver to a family member or close friend. I wouldn't likely do it for others. Doesn't that place friends and family a bit higher?
Not sure that is in the rhelm of LOVE.
 
The UN- and 146 countries, recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. More will follow this year.
Just Gaza and part of the West Bank, dear, not "from the River to the Sea" nor that it preceded the recognition of Israel as a sovereign state as you keep deny they are.
 
You literally insinuated that any disciple who would put the ideals of Jesus Christ above their personal family relationships, above their comfort, above their safety to be a sign of madness,
I said literally said, "Cult ≠ madness" If you feel the need to lie to make a point you haven't made a point now, have you?

and you signed off with the epithet, "fuck that!".
Correct. I don't engage in cult activities. If some do, good for them.

I can only respond to the words you write.
How Is Cult ≠ madness insinuating cult = madness. This should be interesting.
for being the Most Intelligent Man on the Internet you should know the difference between = and ≠. And you post these nebulous threads about Quantum Mechanics , infinity, etc., yet don't even know the difference between = and ≠ . lol
