Religious Cults
There has been a lot of news lately concerning religious cults because of the recent activities in Texas. Many are questioning whether a religious cult is harmful or not. The answer is very complicated and I am not qualified to answer it. Religious groups have every right to meet and govern their own lives, to a certain extent. The problems occur when the actions of members of these religious groups are harmful to others or are illegal according to the laws of the state or country they reside in. Songs for a Mockingbird is a fictitious book based on a cult whose actions were both harmful to others and illegal. Although it is fiction, the message in this book holds truth in today’s world.
