The “Socially Harmful” Cult that Believes in Aliens & Double Orgasms I False Gods

From teaching that children living with disabilities (or who’ve been sexually abused) are being punished for their errors in a previous life to carrots being as dangerous as heroin, Serge Benhayon's teachings may seem incredible, outlandish and dangerous. But to his followers, he is a god-like figure with healing powers.
Despite an Australian Court finding that it was true to say his organisation, Universal Medicine, was “a socially harmful cult”, it has continued to attract followers around the world and tear families apart.
We hear from Esther Rockett who was taken to court by Universal Medicine and Robin Clifford whose family was destroyed by his ex-wife joining the group.

[@markdwolf3198]

@@EnigmazGuide your funny, religion as a whole has killed millions of people since it's conception. People attribute being saved to a god or a religion but in reality it was that individual that saved themselves, for instance there are many heroin addicts that claim that they were saved by a god, but it was that person that actually took the steps to stop their addiction, they made multiple correct choices to get to the end result that they aspired to be in. As far as science and religion goes religious people started to investigate and set out to prove a gods existence or to prove the validity of their god belief, they wanted to provide evidence of a god but what they learned was people can't provide scientific evidence for a god, through this process modern science was born. Even today most people are theist and have faith in what they believe to be true and stay steadfast in those beliefs even when shown evidence that runs contrary to what they believe. Point being is people today still believe that a 2,000 year old book has all the answers when as more time passes and more scientific proofs are found the claims within that book become less and less reliable as a source of knowledge. But I'm just ignorant to a god belief, right?

[@madeachanneljustcauseican3968]

It somewhat is the belief in many mainstream religions in the east. Some form of Buddhism for example explicitly believes in the above as in being reincarnated into disable beings due to psst sin while rape on the other hand maybe an injustice that happens to the innocent in the current life or retribution in form of “karma” to an evil born again - varies by sects for the rape while the disable is a tad more mainstream. I agree it might sound morally wrong to us but it probably makes sense in a larger context to them. It should be noted that their emphasis is that a person should not be treated poorly even if they were born with a misfortune but rather be treated as any human and those with misfortunes should focus on redemption. Similar beliefs also apply to Hinduism, they might be variation again by sects but the view is quite mainstream.

The thing with cult is that they don't start with the crazy stuff. There's a Scientology building near my university and they purposefully target depressed, unconfident people who feel they have a lack of purpose in life and promise them that their method will help them grow. Like their flyer really says "are you depressed? Lack self esteem?" And invite you to come have a look at a "workshop". Same with "spiritual" retreats. I saw the testimony of a woman who got into a wellness yoga cult without realising it until she got to the retreat and the strategy was to exhaust people with exercise, fasting and limited sleep, make them meditate, and use the haze in which they were to make the crazy beliefs easier to swallow. Many corporate coaches also use cult methods centering self-confidence to get to people and invest in them and just use a different lingo than the spiritual stuff. If you're at a low point and scared and no one around you supports you, it can be easy for a manipulator to take advantage of you

@@oldschoolman1444 Yeah, it's a messy combination. I think almost all ignorance stems from belief. When you think about it, that's sort of the definition of ignorance: the belief that your belief holds the same value as someone else's knowledge. It's not the textbook definition but I think it's better. Any true belief short circuits critical thinking. I think people tend to confuse belief with confidence at times. Sometimes when we have confidence in this thing or that we say, "I believe in that thing!" But it's different than belief in this context. Belief in this context says, "I believe it is so and so it is so." I think that's the dangerous form of belief that leads to ignorance. And the more ignorant we are, the more likely we are to believe all the rest of the BS that comes our way. It's a vicious cycle.

I really do wonder why some people choose obvious cults over more established organized religions. Cults ask everything from you, organized religion asks like $5 a week. Is it because the cult leader is usually right there so you can see the effect of your contributions? Is it because the people are just lonely and a cult is (actually) a great place to find a sense of community? I am genuinely interested in this topic.

[@dustinevans2895]

A little misleading, Twain believed whole heartedly in a God, attend and funded churches.

[@ZincFold]

@@dustinevans2895 How is it misleading if it is actually something he said? Twain was a Presbyterian. Often critical of institutionalized religion. He also wrote, for example, "Faith is believing what you know ain't so", and "If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian".

[@dustinevans2895]

@@ZincFold I said it was a "little" misleading because some might/will read that as he didn't believe in God. NOT condemning your comment in anyway.
