I thought your post was going to be about some kook who thought that IHOP was a cult because the owners donated some of the proceeds of their pancake sales to Planned Parenthood...or some such scenario.<br /><br />But that Bickle character is pretty creepy. Interpreting "critical thinking" as agreeing with him screams cult to me.Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-26927018662121004512012-07-09T11:27:17.139-04:002012-07-09T11:27:17.139-04:00Okjimm -- Sign me up for THAT cult! :)Okjimm -- Sign me up for THAT cult! :)Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-86194949316150142102012-07-09T10:47:17.399-04:002012-07-09T10:47:17.399-04:00Dude...seriously...I say the header and I thought ...Dude...seriously...I say the header and I thought you were talking about a 'pancake' cult!!!!<br /><br />boy...am I dumb or what!okjimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013002335848390765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-86069007795232551972012-07-09T10:19:28.828-04:002012-07-09T10:19:28.828-04:00Paul -- Pancakes and "signs and wonders"...Paul -- Pancakes and "signs and wonders" sausage coming right up!Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-30247651323178729492012-07-09T10:18:28.224-04:002012-07-09T10:18:28.224-04:00Michelle -- It's self-confirmation for fundame...Michelle -- It's self-confirmation for fundamentalist pastors.

Which some people follow with cult-like devotion. <br /><br />Growing up, Mormons always claimed that you should question your beliefs.
