these cults usually go after lonely, mentally handicapped, and people with lots of problems and lost all self esteem to live.
could this be the reason? i had the courage to escape it, and why dont most people have the same courage?

They're dissatisfied with their lives and are looking for something more. Its much the same reason Christians are Christians. Fear.

Give me an example of a lunatic cult? To you it may be lunatic. To others, it is another option for choice, in their world of freedom.

Freedom of Choice
[33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.
[33:73] For GOD will inevitably punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the idol worshipping men and the idol worshipping women. GOD redeems the believing men and the believing women. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Do Not Follow Your Parents' Religion Blindly
[5:104] When they are told, "Come to what GOD has revealed, and to the messenger," they say, "What we found our parents doing is sufficient for us." What if their parents knew nothing, and were not guided?
[5:105] O you who believe, you should worry only about your own necks. If the others go astray, they cannot hurt you, as long as you are guided. To GOD is your ultimate destiny, all of you, then He will inform you of everything you had done.

No Compulsion in Religion
[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient
[2:257] GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.

You mean like... Christianity?
Define "lunatic cult" and then maybe you'll get a sensible answer.

You are a liar and a fool. more dangerous are the people like crusader who is trying to promote his own cult. it seems to appeal to fundamentalists like you who would be prepared to lie to promote your point of view.

Something for everyone, a way to hide their own fear, and use it as attack.
