S01E28 The Cult of Christianity

Send us Fan MailSo here’s the thing — if you hold up Jesus to modern cult psychology, he doesn’t look like your loving neighborhood carpenter. He looks like a guy running the first-century version of NXIVM with better robes.In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, I’m breaking down 10 Ways the Bible Proves Jesus Was a Cult Leader — using Steven Hassan’s B.I.T.E. model (Behavior, Information, Thought, Emotional control) as the measuring stick. Spoiler: Jesus checks all the boxes.We’ll cover:Why Jesus demanding you “hate your family” is straight-up cult behaviorHow “hellfire” is just the emotional blackmail of the ancient worldThe resurrection as the ultimate martyr marketing schemeAnd why Christianity’s greatest trick is making you believe you’re the problem, never the leaderIf you’ve ever been told Christianity is about “freedom,” get ready to see how the Bible reads more like the Cult Leader Starter Pack.💥 Expect sarcasm. Expect blasphemy. Expect truth bombs.And remember: you don’t have to be religious to do the right thing. #CultLeaderJesus #ChristianityExposed #Exvangelical #ReligiousTrauma #BibleStudy #CultTactics #BITEModel #JesusWasACultLeader #TheMightyPhilbert #AtheistHumor
