Being a loner is not natural.

At what point is one a loner? I used to joke that if I died my body wouldn't be found 'till the smell bothered a neighbor. I was happy at that point as well. I will admit that humans tend to be social creatures. However, I think this goes to far.
Some people, particularly people with low self esteem, need the assurance from others. Cults can provide that.
Of course I have it on good authority from friends that grew up Catholic that the Catholic church is better about providing guilt than acceptance. So there's one difference.
As far as the Cellar goes, I don't think it qualifies as my social outlet or as a cult. After all, I don't like you people. ;-D
