Most cult leaders become crazy.

They become crazy because their emotion drives them out.

Their emotion makes them become a fanatic.

Once they become a fanatic they then come with crazy ideas. Their ideas that only make sense to them. Heaven's Gate was a cult which took place in March of 1997. 39 idiots who let themselves be influenced into committing suicide, because they’d eventually reach a "spaceship." Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles claimed they were the ones mentioned in Revelation 11:3. Applewhite, in the 1970s, began to see visions and became obsessed with this verse which led him to fantasize in him being that character in the bible. In Revelation 11:3 says "And I will give power unto my witnesses; and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Marshall and Bonnie claimed they were those two witnesses, and by that obsession he had with one verse. This one verse can totally change a person who becomes a fanatic and lets there emotion drive them out the box.

Cults are a form of propaganda which influence people in positive or negative ways they misuse religion in many negative ways. Either with violence, war, or murdering innocent people. It hurts to see how a person can let their emotions drive them out the box. Cults can be caused by being too religious in a church or temple. They only practice and recite what they do, people become crazy in becoming fanatics, by becoming so religious. Instead of teaching them that a certain religion is a way of living, and that religion isn’t a practice. Religion should be a form of a personal relationship with God.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it.
