What does this mean
0·2 days agoI’ve also wondered this. Want to move and be vocal but scared of this threat.

0·3 days agoSince Lemmy should promote fun dialogue I am gonna reply one more time with something fun I learned. My prof from an undergraduate course on religion said we should have a more unbiased definition of cult. An unorthodox group that claims to have a novel, truer interpretation of an already existing tradition with a charismatic central leader. I find it interesting because many religions can fall under this category such as Christianity. Cult is also used to describe certain groups within a religion like the Buddhist cult of Guanyin. This use also has no negative correlation, instead pointing towards the groups focus on Guanyin. Wonder how one would add onto this term to specifically mean negative groups that try to control their members and draw others in? Simply having new teachings doesn’t do it for me. There are many Buddhist dharma doors that have very different teachings but what marks NKT as cult? Is it just what I added or something else as well? They certainly fit both definitions.
lol
You all might enjoy this book on SGI written by a prof I know:
McLaughlin, Levi. Soka Gakkai’s Human Revolution: The Rise of a Mimetic Nation in Modern Japan. Germany, University of Hawaii Press, 2018.
https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Soka_Gakkai_s_Human_Revolution/AVgEEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0
It’s an unbiased view on SGI. McLaughlin’s position as the religion as a mimetic nation is quite interesting too.
That’s interesting! Never heard of this sort of group

If I wrote a book I do wish I could get paid to live off of it. That said I get your point. My work will never make any money sadly lol
lol! I honestly wonder did they plan it all to come out at the same time or is it just ai coding?
