I don't think this has anything to do with the church, just one man with a distorted view on the world (and a congregation that will be sympathetic towards his manner of dealing with things).

Isn't that essentially the Church?

It's more of a cult to be honest.

Are't all religions "cults"?

I wouldn't say so, religions are formed of a wide variety of beliefs and interpretations. One Christian is not the same as the next, for example. Where as a cult, this disparity in thinking across the group is almost non-existant.

This is true, but in a small, tight community, doesn't the religion become a cult? For example, Christianity at large is a religion, but doesn't each individual local Church congregation act as a cult?
