I think that wine is cool, I order wine myself from time to time. Moreover, I accidentally stumbled upon these people who sell it and did not regret it. And cults are people who are fanatical of non-existent things, therefore they close cults, non-wine shops. If I were a measure, I would fall just like that, just exactly the same. And people who are in cults are just those who can be controlled by faith.
P.s. I just shared my opinion and do not impose it on anyone)

Pretty wide definition of cult there--it could apply to just anybody. Somebody "controlled" by Trump, by the Democratic Party, by a slavish belief that science has all the answers although it actually doesn't, by faith in the future, by whether you trust Tara Reade....

Time to stop slapping the "cult" label on people who disagree with you.

Not at all, this is BS. Religion on the other hand has thousands of years of success in this field, in all places. interestingly, there is always a god (sometimes more than one) and the person in power is either a descendant of the god or has a direct line with god so knows what god thinks and wants. you can't beat that

Our country has also been through Prohibition. It did not work. Prohibition just encouraged organized crime to grow. It is how the Kennedy family made their big money.
