Religion is more apt: <Mann Made Global Warm-Mongering is a cult and not a religion. That makes sense. We wouldn't want to offend legitimate religions by making them comparable. > The Warmists are going for a universal religion, not a Jim Jones, David Koresh type localized cult. You are arguing about how many angels can fit on a pin by trying to differentiate between cult and religion. Religion fits better than cult really. Religions have structure, hierarchy, "the word", direct lines from the leaders to Allah, apostasy, heresy, dogma, theological studies, even universities. They have laws of behaviour, government arms. Religions are very like the way Global Warming is becoming. Al Gore looks like an evangelical. The cash is flowing, the power is looming, the Denialists are being lined up for a good stoning, burning or at least excommunication. Mqurice
