No it doesn't.
My "cult" is the historical Christian faith, no cult.
Faith, remember, many of us have actually read the Bible and believe it says what it says, not what you cult wished it said.
You mentioned Sodom yet there is a prequel to that fable you seem to ignore.
The God character is doing a walkabout because he has heard rumors but wanted to go actually check the sources since he did not know what the truth of the rumors was.
(critical points so far. The God character is not omniscient; not all knowing. Second the God character actually goes and puts in the work to try to find out the truth; goes to look for actual evidence.)
The story continues. He stops along his walkabout and starts up a conversation about what he is planning to do; and the human says "Wait God, are you really as clueless as you seem? Are you really going to kill the innocent along with the guilty?"
So yes Faith, we are told in the Bible that we know as much as God does about what is right and what is wrong and that when it seems that God is about to do wrong we are to question Gods acts and character.
Try actually reading the Bible Faith, Genesis 2 & 3 as well as Genesis 18.

you admit that you are unwilling to do the work necessary to actually look at the studies involving nutrition.
And I've explained why. I trust the reports of the studies I've run across, and the character of the people who give the reports.
And once again you admit that what you are doing is the exact opposite of Critical Thinking.

It's really depressing to think that anyone might possibly take you seriously.
Yet they do, mainly because I back up my posts with actual evidence that they can verify independently.
That is the difference Faith. I do not expect or ask anyone to trust me and instead expect that they will test what I say against logic, reason and reality.
They can go and read Genesis 2&3 and also Genesis 18 to see if what I post is actually what the Bible says.
That's the difference in the methods of Critical Thinking and Cult Dogma. You rely on the dogma of your cult. I ask them to throw the dogma away, throw God away and instead actually look at the studies, read the Bible instead of the Commentaries.
As the Bible says; "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil".
