Bathroomcoffe,
You have been hanging too much in sajha without a break. Take a long break in the bathroom and drink a strong coffee right there and come back for a meaningful conversation :-).
Vishontar,
I am glad you saw my point :-)
The difference between a believer and a follower is subtle. There is not much difference on either. Believer can be a follower and a follower can be a believer and it solely depends on many factors. You cannot simply label a person as a follower or a believer which depends on what the person believes or does simply because a believer not only believes but also follows something (what ever it may be) and a follower does not always follow but also believes on something(what ever it may be). A follower cannot be a believer and a believer cannot be a follower. Usually religious people are believer and follower.
Followers have to have something to believe and a believer will have to have something to follow. Without the existence of one other does not exist, in my humble opinion.
(I get your point though - your definition is a spiritual seeker/follower, this does not apply here when we are talking about extremism)
