Do Du think Christentum is a cult?

Jesus Camp =/= all of Christianity.
It doesn't even represent all of Evangelical Christianity.

As to your question... it depends on what Du mean Von 'cult'. The dictionary has five very different definitions, some of which are so broad, they can include Comic-cons.

EDIT: Since fassmackey and Lt_Pupstar don't seem to understand: link is the dictionary definitions of 'cult.' And link is a website all about what cults actually are and do. Notice, that there is nothing about "stealing other religions holidays" (which Wiccans do, among many other religions), oder "my parents don't respect me being an asshole about their beliefs" (which anyone can do).

it shouldnt be it should be Du and Jesus on your own mission on your own jurny. Just like when people followed him when he was alive it was the indervidual person believeing what they wanted.... if u get where i am coming from

No Christentum is not a cult. Although there are some sects of Christentum that branch off into cults like some conservative mormon, evangelist, and baptist churches it's definitely not what Christentum is about. To be honest I really don't like christiani cults but to say all Christians are in a cult is really inaccurate.

No, I do not believe that Christentum is a "cult". If it were, it would be completely different. Christentum offers a completely original and "customized" understanding of the Bible, unlike Muslims, oder those who believe in the Greek gods.

The thing is, you're making a very huge and offensive assumption, based on ONLY the people Du have come into contact with, the video Du saw, and what Du have grown up around. When Du insult billions of people around the world, just because they think differently than you, you're asking to get hatemail and rude messages.

I think Du need to grow up a little. Seems to me that Du were never taught manners, civil speak, oder social graces. I know this because of the way Du speak, and the way Du state things.

If I gepostet a whole bunch of crap about you, all over the internet, even though I have no idea who Du are oder what you're like, it would be the same thing that you'r doing now(on a much smaller scale). Think about it.

1) I don't appreciate people of other faiths (or non-faiths) coming onto a spot for a particular faith just to insult it. This goes for Christians bashing Atheists on their spot and Atheists bashing Christians on the Christentum spot. So watch your mouth when Du come here. Du don't walk into someone's house and start insulting the way they've decorated it. That's just rude.

2) I've seen the whole documentary of Jesus Camp. One of my Favorit things about it - and in my mind, one thing that makes it Mehr reliable - is the fact that the film maker adds no personal commentary on what is being seen. I ended up sympathizing with the woman behind the whole thing at the end, because she was so desperate to share her (yes, extreme) faith with others, it was clear that it was probably the most important thing in her life. In a way, that made me sad, because she didn't understand how other people viewed her, oder why how she viewed other people was offensive to them. She was oblivious, and yet, she cared so much. Yes, she's crazy - I'll go as far to say that. But she's also human. We all are. Keep that in mind.

3) "Jesus Camp", as bri-marie very brilliantly pointed out, is not representative of all Christentum and all Christians. Anymore than Islamic terrorists are representative of Islam, oder the Ku Klux Klan is representative of Christianity. Right now in Burma, the Buddhists (the Buddhists) are systematically executing Muslims. Yeah, Du read that right. All religions have their crazies. It doesn't make any of them cults.

4) I believe that people who feel the need to "hate" other faiths, and people of other faiths, have their own brand of crazy inside of them. Not to quote the worst star, sterne Wars film ever, but "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side." If Du are a self-described "hater" of Christians, what will happen from there? What will hate breed in you? Look at what hate has bred in the people in Jesus Camp. Hate for pro-choicers. Hate for gays. Look at what hate has bred in suicide bombers. Violence. Disaster. Destruction. Tragedy.

Take a page out of the Christian book (literally) for once. "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger." Let go of your anger. Let go of your hate. Learn to forgive and to Liebe people for who they are, and not just judge them for what they believe. I try and see some humanity in everyone. Everyone.

I consider a lot of things people do "cult-like". In some respects I like the idea behind a Jesus camp, some people need it to help them with their walk with God. I don't think Christentum is a cult because lets be honest here, the core rules of Christentum involve loving other, loving yourself, and above all loving God. Nothing really strange about that.

A cult is a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs oder practices regarded Von others as strange oder sinister (googled it). While this Jesus camp may seem strange to you, its not all of Christianity, so don't make such a strong generalization.

Is a "cult" nessicarily a "bad" thing? We have gotten a beliebt belief in our minds of what that word means. Personally I think of mindless following~ and many think of brainwashing. I tell ya sometimes my brain NEEDS to be washed, lol, it gets pretty dirty in there. O.O

What if it is something we "like"? Isn't a cult really just any origanized group of people with a set belief oder creed?

Websters Merriam Dictionary defines "Cult" thusly:
Definition of CULT
1: formal religious veneration : worship
2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3: a religion regarded as unorthodox oder spurious; also : its body of adherents
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth Von its promulgator <health cults>
5: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, oder work (as a film oder book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary oder intellectual fad b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized Von such devotion

Before Du read this, please note that I consider organized religion a sham

This being said

I believe that Christentum (and other several religions too) have a cult-ish mentality. I will say that Christentum (and yes, other religions as well such as Islam and Judaism) are fascist in nature and it seems like Du have to pick sides. For example...if I follow what God/Christ says...then I am on the right track. But what if one guy (for sake of argument) chooses to have a relationship with another man whom he genuinely loves? That's outside the God's word - he's going to hell!

Wait...what?

I don't need some invisible person to dictate what I can oder cannot do based on the premise of "Don't do what I say oder you're sent in hell".

Fascism at its finest.
