Gode til engelsk?
Hey.. Er der nogle derude, som har lyst til at rette en kort engelsk tekst for mig - bare lige kigge den igennem for de værste fejl! Den fylder kun omkring 200 ord.
På forhånd tak :)

Mange tak. :D
The topic for discussion:”Is it fair to consider cults dangerous and anti-social?”
The above mentioned question is actually relatively complex, so is it possible to find a proper answer? Basically there are some controversial aspects within the question, such as how to define whether a cult is dangerous or anti-social. To get a nuanced angle on the topic, it may be relevant to include realistic examples.
Many people are apparently familiar to the Jonestown cult that committed mass suicide led by Jim Jones in 1978, where 918 people committed suicide. A similar incident occurred to people from the cult “Heaven’s Gate”. However, the death toll was not nearly as big as in Jonestown. Nevertheless, it is extremely difficult to find a meaning to these relentless and terrifying incidents, and from that basis, it (is) obvious to say that cults are dangerous (and anti-social). These occurrences are of course very extreme and belong to the “worst-case-scenarios”, so maybe it is not fair to base our general attitude on cults in the light of the above examples. Maybe these highly publicized cases have also convinced several people that many or all cults are extremist groups that are highly dangerous. We know that many people criticize cults of being anti-social. Various sources also report that cults (especially Scientology) have a seizure-like and paranoid relation to psychology and especially psychiatry. It often seems like some cults isolate themselves from the “normal society” by learning delusions about important life philosophies.
(There may be a limit to what people are willing put up with*); when we just start to compromise on our basic views and transcend personal barriers, cults might be dangerous and anti-social.
*Der kan være en grænse for hvad folk er villige til at udsættes for

Det er noget jeg selv har skrevet, som indledning til en lidt længere diskussion. Måske du er villig til at kigge den efter, når den bliver færdig engang. Den vil nok fylde ca. 400-500 ord. Altså bare den sidste del?

Jeg har kigget den igennem, og rettet typisk danske sætninger og andre småting. Godt skrevet! :)
The question mentioned above, is actually relatively complex. Therefore I wonder if it is possible to find a proper answer. Basically there are some controversial aspects within the question, such as how to define whether a cult is dangerous or anti-social. To get a wide (bred) angle on the topic, it may be relevant to include realistic examples.
Almost everyone (næsten alle) is apparently familiar with the Jonestown cult - a cult that committed mass suicides in 1978 and was led by Jim Jones. 918 people committed suicide at this time.
A similar incident occurred at the cult “Heaven’s Gate”. However, the death toll wasn’t nearly as impressive. Nevertheless, it is extremely difficult to find a purpose behind (formålet bag) these relentless and terrifying incidents, and therefore it can be concluded (konkluderet) that cults are dangerous and anti-social. These occurrences are of course very extreme and worst-case-scenarios, so maybe it is not fair to base our general attitude towards cults on them. Perhaps these highly publicized cases have also convinced a large part of the population, that many or all cults are extremist groups that are highly dangerous.
We know that cults accused of being anti-social. Various sources also report that cults - especially Scientology - have a seizure-like and paranoid relation to psychology and in large part psychiatry.
It often seems like certain (bestemte) cults isolate themselves from the surrounding (omkringliggende) society by brainwashing the followers to believe delusions about important life philosophies.
There may be a limit to what people are willing put up with, so when we begin to compromise our basic views and transcend personal barriers, cults might gain the power be dangerous and anti-social.
