cult - formal religious veneration; rictualistic
religion- worship of God/gods, faith, system of beliefs
So your point of it is somewhat redundant was well taken except I don't know what veneration means and I am too lazy(being this late in the day) to look it up. So it will have to go down as one of the biggest mystery ever in ef history.
I blame myself and my parents. Without my parents...I would have no problems due to having no life.
I also blame a previous girlfriend for having a figure that virtually noyone else can compare to. The self control that is gained by this realization negates a complete loss of common sense that is the precurser to all worthwhile relationships.
