One of my high school classmates got involved in a satanic cult years and years ago. She even taught Sunday School in a church as a way to recruit teens into the cult.
It's very real. After reading her yet unpublished book, it was hard to sleep at night for a while. It is all around us all the time, but most of us don't really notice.
A friend's buddy used to be in a cult. He told my friend that he used to be able to see an aura around people and could pick out Christians on the street just by the aura. He said that Christians don't have any idea how much of God's power they hold.

I can see aura's to. All it takes is placing a colored screen behind you, place you at about 50 meters distance on a foggy day and I'll see the color of your aura lingering around you. This works! It really does. It even proofs the evil of science, as soon as I use a pair of binoculars the aura dissapears back into the colored screen.
Greg: That depends on how much they agree with the person making the decision. A lot of similarities makes it a branch of the religion. A lot of similarities but one difference which is "evil" makes it a cult.
And for sane people: any group with a set of beliefs that's bad for your health, social standing, economic standing and/or mental health is a cult.
yes xtians, beware of cults. all they offer are false beliefs and brainwashing-derived security. [yes ha ha how witty of me. religion/cult = same goddamn thing, except the cults don't have the same p.r. funding as religions.]

Now, I don't think my bullshit detector is on par with a policeman with years of experience or a C.I.A. interrogations expert, but something in that sentence gives me the impression of deception.
Tell your friend to contact James "The Amazing" Randi, STAT! With that ability to see auras, he can earn a million dollars by passing a test to prove his aura-reading abilities!
Seriously, the million-dollar award is real, but nobody has ever been able to claim it. Either your friend is as deluded as you are, or you are so gullible as to make a favorite target for people who love to tell tall tales.
And by the way, if Christians are the ones who supposedly have all this "power," why aren't YOU the ones who can see auras or something?

Don't they piss-test for that sort of thing at the church?
My understanding on what determines a 'cult', is, "If it's my religion, it's real, if we're talking about someone else's believes, then they are in a cult."
Wow, now go test that ability and get your money from the amazing Randi.
(PS *if* he can see auras, but xtians don't get any superpowers, which do you think is tapping into a genuine power?)
Splunge, friends of friends and unpublished books are to me like the Tooth Fairy. Nobody has seen them but all, apparently, had its business card.
doh!
Cults have most or all of the following:
A strong, heavily controlling charismatic leader
Guy with a funny hat?
A requirement to cut off "outsider" family and friends
A requirement to change one's name
Ok, no on these two.
A requirement to serve the group at all times without question
The bible is the one and only truth! Do XYZ in name of the lord! Even if it's not in the bible! Don'l learn to read for yourself!
Dire punishment for attempting to leave the group
All sinners burn in hell! If you're not a believer you're a sinner!
3 out of 5 ain't bad for "most".
Seriously, I've never heard a convincing definition for cult that makes it different from a religion for anything but an arbitrary reason.
Hey Splooge, I mean "Splunge:"
A close friend of mine was involved in a Xtian Cult. She tried to kill herself with a lot of pills and by slitting her wrists.
She's OK now.
The sex change was the best thing that happened to him. He's very happy.
I'm pretty sure his aura is healthy.
Aura? Whoa, wait, you mean people can become Aura Guardians just by joining a cult?! Do I get a free Lucario or Riolu, too?! If so, sign me up!
Sorry Splunge, but Satanic cults were out by the mid 90's. It seems that too many people began wondering why there was never any evidence to support the outrageous claims of all the "ex-cultists." If you want your fiction to be circulated in the Christ fan-fic circles, you'll have to chose a more up-to-date source of ultimate evil. Maybe you could change it so your friend became an Obama supporter.
"After reading her yet unpublished book, it was hard to sleep at night for a while."
I would say a good horror story will do that to you, but I highly doubt this horror story was any good.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
