Why are people in cults so immature?

[Anonymous]

They are bitter as can be and often act like children.

Everyone is in a cult. That's why people are so irrational and dishonest when you talk to them. They start feeling that panic of their cult's teachings being questioned by someone who isn't a leader of their cult, and they can't handle it.

Speculation: A cult is a parental framework, a defined box, setting precise rules, it is existentially comforting, like a mother's belly. So, in that sense, cultists are children seeking for parents they don't have, or didn't have.

The mansion cult?

good one lol

Because they feel special - like they have some secret knowledge that others don't and it makes them smug, insular, arrogant and self important.

That photo, Donald is the golden calf, but then again any president fits the same picture.

[DrPepper12]

Yeah I can see that point. They're all supreme narcissists to even play that game. Good point.

[RebelinSteel]

Most of what I have seen with cults point towards them being anything but immature, fairly serious.

[normalice]

The whole point of a cult is to avoid facing reality.

[ProbablyClueless]

An inability to understand and define who they are on their own is how they get sucked into the cult in the first.

[sean1234]

This mean nothing. What cult? Who? There are people that call groups cults that are not cults.

A lot of these kids had parents that would do everything for them or pay someone else to do it. They never learned how to survive on their own

[Berethor]

I guess it because people in cults get manipulated, you expect such people to be smart?

[Dargil]

Are Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses immature?

[sean1234]

But then again, they might think you are in a cult.

[Dargil]

@sean1234 Ya never know. Do you?

[Drewtate]

Are freemasons immature?

[Agape93]

Way to generalize us all

[MicahRaine]

whoa whoa whoa, "us"?

[Agape93]

Yeah, every cult and cult member. It ain't just me in the world.

[MicahRaine]

Are you saying that everyone is part of a cult in some way?

[Agape93]

Wtf? When did I even imply that?

[MicahRaine]

Sorry, I misread your comment. Maybe that's a sign it's getting too late for me lol.

[Agape93]

Just a bit lol

[MicahRaine]

Maybe it's related to being in a cult?

[Anonymous]

[Juxtapose]

Because they are morons who fell for a cult.
