Scott Phillips lead his East Memorial Christian Academy boys to an Alabama state championship in basketball, the school's first state title in any sport, and lead them to the playoffs on the football field. But that was not enough for East Memorial officials who expected Phillips to switch churches once he became the school's Athletic Director. Phillips didn't like the idea of switching to East Memorial Baptist Church because he was loyal to another church. Sound reasonable? To me and you, yes. To East Memorial officials, no. They fired Phillips and became an example of what I believe a cult is. In a cult, you have to buy in all the way or you're shunned . . . Don't ask me how I know that. Take Scientology for example- those people are nuttier than Amanda Bynes- they want commitment to the level that you will shun your family if they don't share your beliefs. So Congratulations, East Memorial officials- you taught your kids the wrong message about loyalty today. And somewhere Tom Cruise is jumping up and down on a couch.
