Cultist groups have permeated society ever since people could chat and share ideas en masse, although modern cult experts today often clash about what, exactly, makes a group of people a cult. What's a loony or eccentric organization to one expert is often seen by others as a religion or sect, which are terms loaded with less cultural stigma. Whatever the best working definition might be, here we present four of popular culture's craziest cults of our time.
One thing that baffles society is the fact that so many people choose to follow a single man and look to him as a messiah. Cult members usually refer to their leader as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and obey his every command.
Some cults focus on doing good for society and the world in general yet others choose a more sinister path of murder and mayhem. And the ultimate cult following consists of mass suicides. Whatever the reasoning of these followers or the mindset of their leaders, one thing is definite. When deadly faith is your guide and destruction is your gospel, your own soul is your ultimate sacrifice.
