My point is that contra the narrative in this post, cults are vastly less bad than the general public believes, so much so that the post is responding to a straw problem. I don’t necessarily agree with the beliefs of the New Religious Movements/cults but the cult literature shows that they are vastly less bad then the general public thinks.
I know it’s a counterintuitive truth, but I want people to understand that the general public believing something is bad does not equal badness.
