I know a couple kids that were abandoned by their parents when their cult left the country, because the cult would have faced scrutiny taking all the kids.
Those kids grew up, and started a cult.
It’s a “benevolent” cult, and from what I know pretty easy going and actually work thru things…
But all the guys who started it, grew up in a cult. It’s what they know, it’s normal to them.
They legitimately don’t understand why some people freak out about it. And they call it some weird cult-speak term instead of “cult” like that King of the Hill joke. But it’s 100% a cult.
Are they hurting anything?
No
But they’d have been a lot better off going to therapy and recommending it to people that need it than starting a cult.
The “system” they knew was cults, and that’s not a good system to actually help people.
That’s not the question. The question is just if you find it to enable the kind of life you value. If your experience is that a system doesn’t do this, don’t support it. This isn’t that complicated lol
If you’re out of gas, it “makes sense” to go to a gas station and get gas, that fixes the problem
If your parents beat you, it doesn’t “make sense” to beat your own kids because that’s what you think a normal home life is. You’re still doing something illogical, and it’s not fixing anything.
We can understand why past experiences and trauma make someone make the choices they do, but that doesn’t mean it “makes sense”.
Fuck man, I understand what trump does a lot of the stupid shit he does, that doesn’t mean it “makes sense” just that I can follow his illogical reasoning.
The “makes sense” in the op means that from the perspective of the doer, it makes sense. OP is not saying that it’s “objectively beneficial to all humans”.
Lots of people also think vaccines cause autism, and when they say it, they mean it. It doesn’t mean they’re right, it just means they’re willing to put effort in defending their erroneous position.
Someone replying over and over till the other person gives up, doesn’t mean they’re right. Often it just means the other person gave up explaining and likely blocked them.
Nah…

Cult is just a word for small religions. Jesus started a cult and people don’t judge him for it anymore.
OP didn’t say it was good or bad. Just that it makes sense for them because they thought it was what they like.
What if the system you know doesn’t make sense to you?
That’s not the question. The question is just if you find it to enable the kind of life you value. If your experience is that a system doesn’t do this, don’t support it. This isn’t that complicated lol
Then OP ought to change the second “to” to “will” to avoid confusion.
That’s not what “makes sense” means tho…

Same with those people who started a cult.

It’s a description of how people make choices.
Maybe that’s how they meant it…
Maybe that’s how you interpreted it…

Makes sense for me to interpret what OP said in that way because I find logic and reading comprehension worthwhile for life.
This guy always blocks everyone that shows him he’s wrong about something.
