So I can't quite understand something. What is the narrative basis for category:cult members, category:cult leaders and category:cults in general? It seems to be a lot of stuff about Romans, but were are we getting the word "cult" from? Feels like that isn't canonical somehow, but a modern interpretation of religious views we find outdated today.

Anybody got, to coin a religious phrase, chapter and verse on the DWU usage of the word "cult"?

I think in Alien Bodies someone calls Faction Paradox a cult, and goes on to define it.

I'm a little confused though, is it not enough that some groups are called "Cult of the"/"...Cult" to help form our definition of cult?

Or is their name not enough of a definition? Are you looking specifically for description/dialogue that says 'this is X they're a cult, they do stuff'.

It just seems like an odd set of questions, the cults exist, they have members and a leader and so we have categories. (Or am I missing a logic jump?). --Tangerineduel / talk 15:50, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
