Religion. Not even once. Making intelligent people do stupid shit for the last 10k+ years.

Yeah, nobody was “forced to die,” they just had the gullible lot believing they’d burn in hellfire for eternity if they didn’t. Not much of a choice, especially when you’re letting someone else do your thinking for you.

What even... :(

The leader of a Kenyan doomsday cult, Paul Mackenzie, has been found guilty of murdering 191 people, all but one of them children.

Mackenzie ordered members of his cult to starve their children to death so they could "meet Jesus".

His doctrine said that education was forbidden and modern medicine was "evil".

Twenty-eight other leaders of his cult were also convicted of murder. They had all pleaded not guilty, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.
