The harm of cults:
The cult organization's blind worship of the leader is extreme worship, and its spiritual control of believers is extreme control, which leads to its extremely crazy activities. This crazy action is extremely destructive and harmful to the physical and mental health of believers, the normal order of society and the progress of human civilization.
Therefore, the freedom of religious belief and normal religious activities of the broad masses of religious believers should be protected according to law; All kinds of superstitious activities that look like religion but are pseudoscience should be thoroughly exposed; We must resolutely criticize cults; We should patiently give scientific guidance, education and help to the deceived masses; We must resolutely crack down on illegal activities that endanger social stability and the safety of people's lives and property under the banner of religion.
Extended data:
Generally speaking, although various cults have different doctrines, flags and activities, they all have some common characteristics, mainly in the following aspects:
1, deify the cult leader and exercise mind control.
Some tout cult leaders as "living buddhas", "prophets" and "the second Christ", who know everything about the past, present and future and have absolute authority. Some cult leaders claim to be "servants of God", "sons of God" and "the body of Christ", which can cure all diseases and bring back the dead.
Some even call themselves "saviors" to "save" all mankind. In order to make members completely obedient, cult leaders and backbones also "brainwash" members by various means such as lies, deception, psychological hints and inducements. The cult leader is touted as the supreme "god", which makes cult members feel mysterious and worship him, thus implementing spiritual control. ?
2. Cheat money by hook or by crook?
The leader of the cult is particularly greedy for money. Although they play different tricks, one of their important purposes is to collect money and put the members' money into their pockets as much as possible. Cults demand that "members should devote themselves to meet the wishes of their leaders". The more they preach "dedication", the more peace and grace they will get.
Some people sell worthless "holy water" and "sacred objects" to members by deception and intimidation, boasting that they can cure all diseases, keep peace and by going up one flight of stairs, and make huge profits from them.
3. Oppose the government and hate society?
Cults often incite members to vent their dissatisfaction with the government and society, and even claim to "win people's hearts first, then seize power." Some cults openly carry out anti-government and anti-social activities under the banner of "overthrowing the leadership of the production party, seizing political power and establishing a theocratic country"; Some clamored that "all people should, under the guidance of God, wage a decisive battle with the demon Red Dragon (referring to the * * * production party) and destroy it".
Some use some social problems such as corruption and the gap between the rich and the poor to alienate the relationship between the party and the government and the people and undermine social stability; Some use natural and man-made disasters to spread rumors and incite the masses to oppose the government. All these show the anti-government and anti-social nature of cults. ?
4. Promote "Doomsday Coming"?
It is a cult's usual trick to fabricate fallacies such as "the end of the world is coming" and "catastrophe is coming" to intimidate and deceive the masses. Some of them say that the earth is about to explode, some say that the earth will become a fire, and some say that the flood will soon flood the whole world, thus creating panic.
Then, dress up as a "savior" and preach that only by listening to them can we be saved, ascended to heaven and get rid of suffering. Although these rumors go bankrupt again and again, they will always continue to fabricate various reasons.
Li Hongzhi, the leader of "Falungong", has always used this tactic. He lied: the end of the world is coming, and mankind will be destroyed. Modern science can do nothing about human disasters, and no government can do anything about it. Only he is the "savior" who can delay the explosion of the earth and "punish people" at a higher level. ?
