I know Free Ranger has indicated his desire to disengage, so this is simply a response to his comment:
Because here is what you actually said:
Take care.
No, people have NOT been answering their own questions, they have been asking you to define your terms.Free Ranger wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 9:16 pm...So what I see going on here in this thread some people are avoiding my questions and answering the question they wanted to answer which is "what is a religion," which in my humble opinion feels like a clever Mormon-like/Millet-style tactic in my view.
Really....For my actual question(s) was regarding whether or not there is a new cultish ideology many call secular far-Leftism (not to be confused with Liberalism) that is in my opinion going mostly ignored in the exmormon community (despite much of its harm, more harmful than Mormonism even perhaps?) and in some cases fully adopted by some exmormons despite its perceieved "cultishness" by Bill Maher and other secular atheists?
Because here is what you actually said:
So what exactly is your "elephant in the room"?.. that atheism has been taken over by what the atheist James Lindsay calls Feminist Gnosticism... then maybe just maybe we are seeing a new quasi-religion emerge in front of our eyes as critical thinkers who were able see through the cultish ways of Brighamite Mormonism. That I think is a huge elephant in the room...
In all honesty, what you have done is come here under false pretenses, concluded what you planned to conclude before you came here, and then left in the most cowardly manner possible. Your reputation is what you have made of it, and it is not good....at least I should not have dared to ask the question in the first place. So I will say now that my question has been answered indirectly I think based on the responses.
So I do not feel a desire any longer to engage as my inquiry has resolved itself. Again, not a fan of sticking my finger in hornet's nests. And yes I do sense hostility. So I will leave ya be...
Take care.
