  1. The word cult branched off the word occult. The word occult meant and means secret knowledge of the spirit realm. Everyone that believed in a creator wanted to believe they owned that secret spiritual knowledge, so they started to shorten the word to "cult" as a derogatory insult against those they put down as giving false spiritual information. Having been religious, and being told by those in other religions that my belief was "cult" ... I finally agreed that what I believed should be labeled as "cult" and so should their religious (spiritual) beliefs be labeled as "cult." Fair, is fair, don’t you agree?
