      Interesting article, easy read, thanks for posting.
      Not sure how much I agree with, but it's always either easy or hard to agree with a wide-brush approach. I mean, something has to be right, right?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      But was the emotional bit apparent prior to the literal bit?

                            Good questions. I suspect that in some cases cults can and do become religious denominations. Christian Science comes immediately to mind.
