Well, they have a right to not have their souls captured by your evil soul-catching machine.

Is that Spurlock? I like him.

Extremists will be extremists, no matter the religion, culture, ethnicity or educational level.

That is Spurlock. Anyone know what this clip is from?

It's from "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden" (2008).

Putting the 'n' in Cultish.

I've met Spurlock and he's a pretty nice and interesting guy...

And I used to live in a community near a Hasidic Jewish community (as depicted in this clip), and, yes, they tend to be rather "Cabalistic" in their views.

Posting from Israel...I've seen a bit of this during my stay so far. Although, being antagonistic with a camera can escalate the effect pretty quickly. Haha.

I disagree. I'm pretty certain that real education trumps religious ignorance universally. The problem is what these people are taught to believe in the first place.

Congratulations America! You're not the biggest assholes on the planet anymore!

This is heavily edited. It doesn't show what he said to piss people off.

Is this sarcasm? If not, then [citation needed].

I like the idea that old man had of standing in front of Spurlock and shoving him. Seriously I would've just swim moved him, and went on my merry way.

EDIT: Seriously though I'd like to find out why they were mad...maybe it was the questions Spurlock asked because if he asked anything about the Palestinian situation they probably went to the local tavern and told on him and people started showing up...small community word gets out within 30 mins of them standing around. Now I really want to go there and bring a camera and interview some people, in fact we should get dozens of people to do it, like a sort of protest of inquiry.

Those are Hasidic, not Orthodox. There's a difference.

Whew! I'm glad that's over.

See another example of this neighborhood in action. Granted, it's a little more provoking.

Hasidim may be fucking crazy, but they are way too numerous to be considered a cult.

Hasidim are a subset of Orthodox Judaism.

They should schedule the next Slutwalk for this neighborhood.

From Wikipedia: Hasidic Judaism or Hasidism, from the Hebrew חסידות—Ḥasidut in Sephardi, Chasidus in Ashkenazi, meaning "piety" (literally "loving kindness",[1] IPA: [ħɑsiduθ], [χɑsidus]), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism [...]


I lolled.

cult [kuhlt]
noun
1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
3. the object of such devotion.
4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5. Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
7. the members of such a religion or sect.

Looks like they match all of the definitions of cult to me, and there is no mention of how numerous a group has to be. Unless @therealblankman disagrees, I think this fits in the *cult channel.

Fine with the cult assignment. Though this particular group of crazy-ass Hasidim might disagree, from the outside looking in it seems to fit the definition.

I haven't met any of them yet...but my body already hates me.

This is your brain. This is your brain on religion. Any questions?

Just watched this movie. Spurlock was surprisingly close to Osama at the point that he felt he was closest before deciding to go home; he was less than a 3 hour drive away.

Regardless of the questions he asked, the essence of democracy and peace are discussion, not shoving...

In defense of these jews, it is Morgan Spurlock. I wouldn't want him around me either.

lol religion

god clearly has no fashion sense

I'd say there aren't many cults that consider themselves cults on the inside. Kinda like hipsters.>> ^therealblankman:
