Re: Opinions one and all, please

Not sure why you believe that a cult is an easy answer - could be as complex as you want.

Also I don't think it's less creative to use a cult. It all depends on the quality of the story and and writing.

Sure. But I didn't say cults are an easy answer, I said people use it that way. And often they do. That's why someone would respond negatively to the idea. I said nothing about what an individual writer can do with the same idea.

However, it has been done a lot and there could be something more creative that would catch a reader's eye and an audience's attention.
