A COG in the Death Machine

Cults will often try to redefine commonly used words and understandings, usually warping them slowly into something new.  Then the old understanding disappears over time, to be replaced by the new concept.

For example, a word like family, especially when preceded by the word "the."  The preceding any noun suggests uniqueness in our linguistic understanding of the world.

Also, "the" as a word infer original/all-inclusive, or overarching.  It implies that you must select whether or not you're a member of the defined group.  If you select affirmatively, you expect yourself to comply with their terms.

A phrase such as Children of God implies everything that exists in the known universe, and the not yet.  Is it possible to select the negative in this category?  Are you able to say, no thank you, I would prefer to not exist than be part of this COG?


If the term is not all-inclusive, did you come first even before starlight existed and are you the only one?
