Cults and Culture

Dan and Greg kick off with a discussion of cults and high control groups, and then shift to begin thinking about the relationship between cult, cultus, and culture. In what ways is the Church different from what are often called "cults" today? In what ways does the Church attempt to build a culture and community while avoiding the pitfalls of high control groups? And what happens to groups or entire societies when they fall into demonic traps either on the side of too much cult and control, or on the side of having no real "culture" at all?
