Apparently people have the ability to make informed decisions about they way they conduct their life.
So if the supreme court rules that its a religion who are we to say cult?
Much like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindus and all the others that I may have omitted they all have to start somewhere and fund themselves in ways that "others" may object to.
The world is a big place with 7 billion souls! Surely there is room for everyone?
In the free world we dont dictate what religion you HAVE to follow and as they are practicing in the free part, let them have at it without criticism.
I was brought up RC, done the church thing, was confirmed, went to catholic school, realised that it was all a scam/sham at 13 and never looked back. Some people need to follow something and some dont, isnt it about time we showed how intelligent we like to think of ourselves are and let ________________ (insert whatever wannabe religion's name you want) become whatever they are destined to be.

LOL Christianity/Islam, its leaders, the ones who front the said organisations under the guise of religion have been doing this for 2000+ years, so 50 years is nothing in the great timeline, its just narrowmindedness. Turning a blind eye to what your religion does and has done and then casting aspersions on others.
Why am I not surprised!!!
