This site is a good example of high-quality rationality, although I have yet to become more familiar with it.

The word "cult" seems to be coming up a lot for you lately. I wonder what is the underlying message or teaching is.

Hey, thanks for chipping in.

I'd say this is an advocacy for basic common sense and rationality, especially as applied to spirituality. Critical thinking matters.

"Belief system" and "cult" are different, though the distinction feels a bit fuzzy to me right now. I'm pointing this out to indicate a certain direction we, as people, tend to go in. And to watch out for this "need" to believe stuff.
