Is Answers in Genesis becoming a cult?

It's more of a personal interest of mine, but recently Answers in Genesis has decided to start the Inquisition within their own ranks of their hated "compromisers", those awful creationists who understand that which they disagree with and try to understand the current science and literature. So this would be people like Kurt Wise, Todd Wood, and all those at the New Creationists.

Here is their most recent and final article going after this nefarious group of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Here is the laughable final paragraph:

As we bring this series to a conclusion, please note that the point of these articles is not to quibble, play semantics, cause unnecessary division, or look for another reason for people to be outraged. Honestly, nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, our desire is for clarity, conviction, equipped Christians, saved souls, and God to be glorified through the bold proclamation and application of his Word.

As this point, AiG is really starting to look like a cultic organization. We have Ken Ham, the undisputed and charismatic leader. They have already denounced any Christian organization or school that teaches anything non-Creationist. Now they are warning their own about those in the group that are actually not who they say they are so they consolidate their own power.

I suppose the question might be - can this be sustained? Or will it collapse when Ken Ham is no more? There are not really any up and comer's in their organization that can fill his shoes. Most of the key people are getting older. They do have a stable of wealthy supporters, considering the funds they needed for the Ark Encounter and another recent purchase of a large building for an educational and adminstrative complex.

I gave the issue a rest when I realized the following possibility. The garden was a supernatural place, A&E wanted to know about good and evil, God gave them what they desired, the natural evolved Earth, a place full of good and evil.

I don’t need Answers in Genesis to tell me what orthodoxy is

So I’ve generally always ignored these
