    Isn't this what Jesus teaches? If it is a cult, that cult would be Christianity.

    Semantics, not something to get too wrapped around the axle. But there was occasional instances in the Marines until my ‘lifer tendencies’ burned out.

    A co-member asked for answer about gasoline prices during Joe Biden's presidential term.

    In June 2022 Calif average gas price was $6.43 a gallon for regular grade.
    In May 2026, Calif average gas price is $6.158 for regular grade.

    Mishaps is being taken as directly and not the correct meaning. Mishaps are more global.

    Biden‑era policy decisions interacted with those global forces and may have amplified price pressures research indicates. The Biden administration's inability to react to these global situations.

    post‑pandemic demand collided with tight global oil supply and the shock of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with domestic policy debates and refining constraints playing secondary roles.

    The current world crisis is the result of a self-inflicted wound.

    Modernally & in the very broadest sense any group that one speaks of derogatorally - they will often call it a cult nowadays.
    In a much much more reasonable sense, a cult is a group that (think Jim Jones, Hale Bopp, scientologists, David koresh etc) makes exiting difficult or even harmful. So in a sense, a handful here that are so very condemning of the "other side"? You end up being the very thing you damn the opponent of . . . . . .

    Politics seldom changes things, rather it takes a paradigm shift of the heart
