I think it's cute that you're quick to attribute Christianity as a cult. I can come and go as I wish. I can also freely talk about the dealings within my church.
Sounds like a cult? Maybe its just me but im not seeing it. -

What is this to do with it being a cult? 99.99% of cults allow those things.

Christianity is a tough term to use, actually, as it refers broadly to three very distinct cults. The Cult of Jupiter, the Cult of Christ, and the Cult of Paul. The three have overlapped tremendously over the ages and without careful study are hard to tell apart. The one that effectively does not exist today is the Cult of Christ, but it is from this one that the name Christianity is derived as an attempt to provide credence to the other two. The Cult of Christ are the followers of Christ's teachings, rather than the teachings of others who came later. There is no organiziation under this cult as Christ provided no organization, so you don't find buildings or meetings for its adhereants. The Cult of Paul is the religion that follows the teachings of Paul who added a structure of power and control and organzation on top of the framework of belief that the Cult of Christ had. The Cult of Paul didn't get much traction historically and most of its followers merged its beliefs with those of the more popular and much older Cult of Jupiter renaming Roman deities with Paul-ish names (changing the names from Saturn to St. Jude and so forth) so that followers would be confused and not realize that they had stayed with the older, pre-Christian Roman religion giving the old religion new life as it took on the facade of a new cult.
Protestism was a weak attempt to move back from Jupiter back to Paul's hierarchy alone.
So all three have existed and continue to exist since the time of Paul. All three use the term Christianity as the name of their religion today. All three share only names and facades, not religious beliefs "under the hood."
-
Beyond that, there are many small cults that have tried to do the same thing on a limited scale that build off of a common framework, add some new concepts, and try to get up and running on their own (Latter Day Saints, JW, etc.) and also use the term Christian for themselves. Almost everyone labels themselves as Christian, but few Christians see others as being in the same religion, for good reasons.

It's a modern thing to think of cult as a negative term. It's just a religios grouping.

Not for nothing, but I didn't say it was my party or my church. . . you people assume way to much.

So it's just like any usual network drive in that regard, but it resides in O365 instead of the LAN.
