On this episode, we will dive into some New Age beliefs (like crystals, the Astrology/Zodiac, "signs," Tarot cards, the presence of spiritual energy in physical objects, etc.). I will then explain how even "Christians" are adopting these blasphemous beliefs into their version of Christianity (which, shocker, is not real Christianity). And I will wrap up by giving you guys some tips on how to avoid inadvertently becoming members of a cult. I think people often think you have to knowingly, actively, and officially declare your allegiance to a cult to be a part of one, but that is not technically the case. All cults begin with the same simple strategy: groupthink (getting groups to think identically -- as if the whole group has the same mind). God gave us each our own individual brain so that we could use it and think for ourselves, not as a group or "tribe" with no room for disagreements; but sometimes, in school, in the workforce, in our communities, in our friend circles, and even in the church there can be this massive relatively unspoken expectation that everyone must think exactly the same. Or else you're chastised, ostracized, and ultimately exiled. Let me be clear: Rejection will ALWAYS be better than being forced to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself out of fear of upsetting someone who doesn't want you to think differently from them (and the tribe). You're your own person. God made you that way. So act like it. Leave any cult you encounter. The faster the better. My general rule to know whether or not you are in a cult is to ask yourself this single question: Can you voice an opinion in direct contradiction to the majority or can you not? If you can't, then you are 100% in a cult and need to get out immediately. That goes for the Left, the Right, everyone. It goes for any cult, anywhere. #Flee
