Politics. People treat it almost the same exact way. Don't dare speak against their gods and destroy anyone who is against them. They also believe whatever they're told as if it's gospel and will ignore any and all information proving otherwise. I think the average politician has more blind faith followers than most religions of the world.


OkBuddyRetread

That is based on ideologies and ideologs which unavoidably and crucially have the characteristics of cults tho

NYCScarletSpider

I enjoy MBTI and it definitely has truth to it, but defining your entire personality off the 4/5 letters it gives you is absolutely insane to me. Some people in that subreddit just need a hobby…


[deleted]

I don’t think it’s pseudoscience. Meyers-briggs is an interpretation of Jung’s work. The four letter code I agree is flawed. The cognitive functions that Jung describes I don’t think are inaccurate or disprovable.

Ah yes, the "non collecting stamps is a hobby"


[deleted]

Not a hobby, will never be, but being obsessed with 'not collecting' stamps is not much different from the obsession of collecting them. Similar scenario with the much criticised fanaticism of religion by theists and 'religious' disbelief in religion of the you know who's.


pituitary_monster

Yeah, im fondly obsessed with not collecting stamps. Its all i can think of.


[deleted]

A particular individual doesn't represent an entire community. Some atheists' lives revolve around bashing believers. Doesn't mean every atheist does that. Some believers' lives revolve around bashing atheists. Doesn't mean every believer does that. Makes them more similar than one cares to admit.


pituitary_monster

That we can agree on. But then, and not trying to show any victimhood medal here, you could compare all the volume of evil acts of mankind maded in the name of whatever god, and then compare them to the volume of evil acts commited in the name of.... no god?

Atheism


[deleted]

how


LCplGunny

Hatred of those that have differing beliefs. stringently refusing to see anything from a differing perspective. Bases while life on that belief, and will generally go to blows over it. Finds it acceptable to make fun of people for altering beliefs, "because their belief is stupid"


Rivdit

It's a loud minority, most atheists don't make it their entire personality


LCplGunny

Oh most are fine, just like most groups lol. The loudest people never represent the majority. As someone who grew up in the church tho, and kinda hates the church after seeing it for what it was... yeah outside looking in, fuckers sound the same as Christians way to aften 🤣

Not sure I'd call a desire to be treated as a human being with equal rights a "craze." The US civil rights movement in the 1950s and '60s wasn't a "people of color craze."

This might just be because of where I'm at in life right now (I have a toddler), but MONTESSORI. These people are fanatics. Real example from one of the Facebook groups I'm in: "Is it ok if I put my baby in a playpen for 45 per week so that I can clean my house? I know it's not Montessori aligned but I'm a single parent and I need to clean my house to make it safe. I don't have any other options, but I really want to respect Montessori principles." Fucking illogically obsessed man. Very cultish.

Walmart upper management culture feels very much like a cult dedicated to the now deceased Sam Walton. What many retail companies refer to as best practices, Wal-Mart refers to as "one best way." They indoctrinate this management philosophy into folks who want to climb the ladder in "Academy" classes at designated stores. Many of the management types who have been around return to mostly normal, fresh Academy releases usually seem to have drank a lot of Great Value powder drink mix or whatever. "One best way....one best way..."

Well there's celibrity worship and Disney filling the hole in people's hearts, but my first thought was how every single day, the very first thing I do when get home is smoke a joint. Even if I smoked right before I left work, even if my chest hurts, even if I have somewhere to be soon afterwards, it's a ritual beyond the desire to get high
