Work is a cult that brainwashes you into thinking money will pay off all your problems.
The internet is a cult bent on sequestering people in their homes and limiting human contact.

How about the U.S. gov't?
Cult-like to me.
Anything bearucratic (spelling?).
School is a cult because it isn't only about education it's also about socialization. It introduces us to the system and how to be obedient to it, and punishes for disobeying. Why do people think that school is required for pupils under 16?
Do people think the gov't gives a hoot about who gets their education? I think not. However, they care about the socialization. (I think I've been reading way too much
)
Work is similar, just on a more cut-throat scale.
I have to disagree with the last one. With me being out of school until mid January, besides my family and church, the internet is a good source for human contact.
Just IMHO!
