When people think of a cult they normally think of something like the Ku Klux Klan or White Supremacy followers, but Star Wars and Buffy for example, also cult following. So are cults a good or bad?
Cults such as the KKK are obviously not good, because they promote rasist and some people would consider all religions a form of cult, eg. Scientology. A cult can be a good thing though, it allows people of a same opinion to share their feelings for a certain thing, it came make people feel as though they belong. However sometimes it can get out of hand and 'followers' are brainwashed by a (sometimes) psychotic 'leader' into mindlessly obeying their 'god', for example Suicide Cults.
Wikipedia - Cult - I don't normally trust Wikipedia but they seem to have a good idea of what a cult is
