Violent Cults

Over the years there have been many cults in the world. Some cults have been violent and some have not. Cults are based on religious beliefs. All though cults do more harm than good, many people in the world disagree against that. There are still cults today that hurt the lives of many families.

Government can also be associated with cults in many ways. Cults and government together can take over an entire country.”(Burchett and Whiteside 4-8). Cults are a “religious gang”. They're violent and believe it's part of their religion to do so. Just because its religious doesn't mean it's right.

Cults are evil, crude, selfish, and destructive. Most people fear cults, but some don’t. There are people in the world who support and fight for cults. There are also non violent cults “And the conviction is growing deeper and deeper in me that nothing but non-violence can check the organized...” (Ghandi 3).
