Yeah, cult leaders tend to distort the logic of its members for certain reasons which would be related to logic. But I feel like the fact that the information given to them will often make them hate other people like the KKK or hate a specific behavior can be related to ethos.

After watching the trailer it is clear to see that Jim Jones gets people to think it is the logical decision to stay with his cult, when it is the exact opposite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835148503069149492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764409121447923268.post-13740744715771030882017-03-01T17:00:35.055-08:002017-03-01T17:00:35.055-08:00The logos involved in many cults is often logic th...The logos involved in many cults is often logic that is twisted for the benefit of the cult's leaders. It also makes sense that many cults base their ideas around an already established religion, allowing them to twist the unproved logic, which is easier than trying to falsify proven facts.abhishekvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741020677486715580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764409121447923268.post-74796872568723824962017-03-01T11:55:33.196-08:002017-03-01T11:55:33.196-08:00I find it interesting and ironic that cult leaders...I find it interesting and ironic that cult leaders use logic to lure people in. Logic is the last thing I would think of when trying to understand cults and serial killers. However, it is easy to use logical fallacies to make certain things seem logical and that can have a very strong impact on people.Tarlan Vatanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040610149223506123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764409121447923268.post-85367541171206747022017-03-01T11:50:21.418-08:002017-03-01T11:50:21.418-08:00I find the logos behind cults very interesting.

The cult leaders prey on people with very strong beliefs and instill fear within them so that they will stay.Gabrielle Batehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811498947410234798noreply@blogger.com
