And like wise fundamentals are going to try to sway your emotions by the same means- using threats,excommunication, and slander.In my opinion the difference is size. Cults tend to be small- maybe a coupla thousand- but something like Baptists or the much scorned Mormons theyre considered fundamentalists. Culturally speaking they start and act similar to the smaller cults.
So I just dont see much use in the definition change. they are cults as far as Im conserned cause they both rob that sense of agency and self.
