The Cult of Life vs. the Culture of Life

Cult - a closed group or religious sect devoted excessively to one idea or person; an unothodox or false religion

Culture - growing, cultivated organisms or social community; refinement

A cult is narrowing and hierarchical. A culture is expanding and communal.

Cults point the finger outward and find everyone else evil and advise either isolation or evangelism to cleanse it. Cultures hand everyone some seeds and a hoe and sends them out to the garden together.

Cults are ultimately about death. Cultures are about life.

Evangelical Christianity is a cult. Liberalism is a culture.
