Crazy Cult Lives

When your love for God becomes obsessive.

Crazy Cult Lives

Most cult leaders become crazy.

They become crazy because their emotion drives them out.

Their emotion makes them become a fanatic.

Once they become a fanatic they then come with crazy ideas. Their ideas that only make sense to them. Heaven's Gate was a cult which took place in March of 1997. 39 idiots who let themselves be influenced into committing suicide, because they’d eventually reach a "spaceship." Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles claimed they were the ones mentioned in Revelation 11:3. Applewhite, in the 1970s, began to see visions and became obsessed with this verse which led him to fantasize in him being that character in the bible. In Revelation 11:3 says "And I will give power unto my witnesses; and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Marshall and Bonnie claimed they were those two witnesses, and by that obsession he had with one verse. This one verse can totally change a person who becomes a fanatic and lets there emotion drive them out the box.

Cults are a form of propaganda which influence people in positive or negative ways they misuse religion in many negative ways. Either with violence, war, or murdering innocent people. It hurts to see how a person can let their emotions drive them out the box. Cults can be caused by being too religious in a church or temple. They only practice and recite what they do, people become crazy in becoming fanatics, by becoming so religious. Instead of teaching them that a certain religion is a way of living, and that religion isn’t a practice. Religion should be a form of a personal relationship with God.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
