I meant the use of the word "cult" to be about as pejorative as its use in the Catholic church -- in keeping with the "monk" motif of perlmonks:

cult

kəlt/

noun

a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

"the cult of St. Olaf"

Its understandable that the humor would escape some but really, my experience is that asking tough questions of Moose "devotees" instills in me the kind of aversion that I have to questioning the beliefs of a Jesuit:

I have great respect for their ability to explain their philosophy while also explaining why I must attend confession and learn my catechism. That is even ignoring the occasional hell-fire and brimstone zealot.
