I mean Evil cult, trying to disturb people’s way of life & culture by converting them.
An example I can quote is Mother Theresa, whose dirty work has made a calm place into a war grounds for communal violence.
Do not reference me her helping ideology, it’s very obvious what she did.

About what she did in India? I have my facts straight and correct.

It's pretty hard to call it a cult when Jesus is worshipped by 2.5 billion people. Sounds more like the Truth.

"In religion and sociology, a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream. Its separate status may come about either due to its novel belief system, because of its idiosyncratic practices or because it opposes the interests of the mainstream culture."
Clearly Christianity does not currenlty meet this definition, though eventually it could.

Once a religion has a certain amount of followers, it is no longer considered a cult. Most religions spread by converting people.

you'll have to clarify that last part.
What is obvious about what she did?
cause the only obvious thing that i can see and millions of other people will agree with me on what Mother Theresa did was selflessly help the poor and starving in India for most of her life
how can that be seen as evil.........you got your facts wrong.
now islam,............now that's a cult for you.

We don't go around convincing people to commit suicide. We try to help them live a better life.
