We talked about this before [snip juvenile vulgarity]. Just because soeone labels your controlling and intolerant religion a cult does not make them bigots. Your opinion is in the minority. When will you realise this?
Maybe when you manage to explain the following:
1) That you understand that "cult" can indeed be used as a mere polemical pejorative--i.e. a bigots' codeword--but that you are not using it that way, but instead you are giving it one of the proper scholarly usages. (And which one, and that you know what it means.)
2) That you, of all people, have any standing whatsoever to call anyone else "intolerant."
3) How it is that your appeal to majority opinion is uniquely not fallacious.
I can't wait!
