This guy is an American, but unfortunately he is hated by people in the United States.
She used to do the same thing in the United States... a cult!
Although the United States used to be the most developed country in the world, in fact it has always been a country where conservatism is rampant, in which religion accounts for a large proportion in their daily lives.
The United States has a very diverse racial and ethnic group. Caucasian Americans make up the majority, accounting for about two-thirds of the total population, while ethnic minorities, which account for about one-third of the country's population, are mostly concentrated in coastal or urban areas. Latin America
Americans are a widely differentiated ethnic group and the largest minority among ethnic minorities. The United States has a population of about 330 million. European Americans account for more than 60%; Latinos account for about 17%, and African Americans (blacks) account for about
13%, Asians account for about 5%, mixed race accounts for about 2.5%, American Indians and Alaska Natives account for about 1%, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders account for about 0.2%. Common English. About 55% of Americans believe in
Among the Protestants, about 24% believe in Catholicism, about 2% believe in Judaism, about 1.6% believe in Orthodox Christianity, about 0.7% believe in Buddhism, 0.6% believe in Islam, 1% believe in other religions, and about 16% have no religious belief.
According to the "Global Times" report, among developed countries in the world, the United States is known as the "Kingdom of Cults" because there are more than 1,000 cult organizations. In the United States, which attaches great importance to "freedom of religious belief," not only does the government and Congress fail to take special measures on the issue of cults,
According to measures, groups engaged in research on cult issues and protecting cult victims will also be sued in court.
According to estimates by Steve Eicher, a well-known American expert on cults, there are approximately more than 10,000 heretical cult groups in the United States today with tens of millions of members. One of the more famous ones is the "People's Temple" (members committed mass suicide
), "Davidism" (polygamy, illegal possession of weapons), "Heaven's Gate" (mass suicide), "Manson Family" (murder), "Scientology", etc. Most of these religious organizations arose in
In the 1960s, some people thought that there were not many emerging cults in the United States today. In fact, this was not the case. Many new cults had become smaller and deliberately remained mysterious and low-key, often unknown to the public.
So, why are heresies so prevalent in the United States? The first is religious factors. The United States is a country with freedom of religious belief, and church organizations are all over the country. There are about 500,000 churches in the United States, and about 96% of adults believe in God. Different denominations have different
God. This provides fertile religious soil for the emergence of cults.
Secondly, there are social factors. The high birth rate after World War II put American society under tremendous pressure on education and employment in the 1960s. Coupled with the social trauma caused by the Vietnam War, young people at that time felt a sense of loss and marginalization. They claimed that
The "Beat Generation" sought solace outside the traditional value system. Many cults took advantage of this situation.
Again, there are external factors. As a large number of immigrants entered the United States, Judaism, Orthodox Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, as well as related cultural habits, were brought into the United States. These foreign religions were either unique and independent, or they were integrated with local religions.
Reforming it into a new type of religion has become an important external reason for the rise of cults. Therefore, cults in the United States include both local residents and outsiders. In addition to defrauding money, organizing mass suicides and raping women, these cult organizations are also involved in drug trafficking.
Smuggling, assassination, kidnapping and other activities, some even openly organize armed confrontation with the government.
Of course, the U.S. government cannot avoid cracking down on this, usually taking administrative measures first. At the same time, the government actively supports mainstream religions such as Protestant sects, Catholicism, and Judaism, and provides active support in terms of policies, taxes, venue equipment, etc., in order to suppress cults.
living space.
Judging from the actual results, the government and private crackdowns seem to have little effect. The number of cults in the United States does not seem to be decreasing. Moreover, after the old ones are extinct, new ones or variants of the old cults will soon appear. As far as the author knows
Judging from the data, the main reasons why it was suppressed but not exterminated are as follows.
First, the threshold for cults is low. In the United States, people of any level and age can create new sects. As long as you have enough influence to deceive believers, there is no need to apply or register.
Jones was only 22 years old when he founded the "Jones Cult" (later renamed the "People's Temple"). This sect became world-famous for the mass suicide of more than 900 believers in 1978.
James Walker, a 67-year-old Colorado man, was an ordinary former automobile factory worker when he founded the Fifth Evangelical Reformed Church of God. Walker only recruited female believers, claiming that only by having sex with him would they be able to have sex in the future.
Heaven.
At the time of his arrest, Walker had had sexual relations with at least 1,000 female believers. The reason for his arrest was said to be because he rejected the advances of a female believer, and the woman reported to the police out of love.
Second, there is strong social resistance. The U.S. Constitution stipulates freedom of religious belief and the separation of church and state. The U.S. historical and cultural tradition attaches particular importance to the protection of personal beliefs and corresponding rights, so both the government and private anti-cult actions face great resistance.
.
During the 1993 siege of the Davidians, the surviving Davidians and the families of the deceased believed that the U.S. government was responsible for the large number of deaths caused by the attack, and filed a lawsuit demanding huge compensation. Although the final judgment concluded that
, the government is not responsible for this, but the litigation process consumes a lot of energy and financial resources from the government.
For civil anti-cult organizations, their situation is even more difficult. For example, they have implemented mandatory detention and/or detention of cult members, and used various psychological intervention methods. They have been opposed by all parties. American church leaders in the National Religious Council
A resolution will be passed specifically to oppose these measures.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some scholars who originally supported anti-cult have also changed their direction and believe that it is true that cult members are deceived by the leader, but they have the right to make their own decisions and make judgments. To make matters worse,
Some former cult members who have "awakened" often "betray" and cry out about their "miserable conditions" in anti-cult organizations. Some even sue their relatives to court for "deception." In legal proceedings, civil opposition
Cult organizations also lack support. Whether proactively prosecuting or passively responding to accusations from cult organizations, anti-cult campaigns rarely succeed in court proceedings.
Most of the court's rulings on cult litigation are in favor of cult organizations, such as the forced closure of some anti-cult institutions and facilities; the expulsion of individual workers engaged in conversion education, etc. Over time, the voice of anti-cults has become smaller and smaller.
Therefore, every one of those cult members in the United States is living a very happy life.
This bastard mutant has been in this business before. She is very ugly, and her family is also a believer, so she has been kept in the basement by her family. Naturally, there is no love or anything. So her whole person is twisted.
In the end, she was sent to a cult by her family, who planned to sacrifice her... There are many cults in the United States that worship Satan. They like to play sacrifices, usually sacrificing virgins, etc. It turns out that the sect his family belongs to likes to play a little more playfully.
It was different, so she was out of luck.
But she didn't expect that she would awaken her mutant powers at the end of the day.
Then she asked all the cult members to commit suicide.
From then on, she became the leader of the church, but this guy didn't cheat for money or sex, he specialized in cheating others to commit suicide.
This is too serious. In fact, the U.S. government doesn’t care much about those cults that defraud money and sex. After all, it’s the believers’ own choices. The U.S. government can’t control it even if it wants to. After all, the U.S. values religious freedom. It’s deceptive.
Murder or suicide is too much. This kind of thing must be cracked down on.
As a result, the sect was destroyed and she was hunted down.
Then he ran to Egypt.
Soon the people of the Brotherhood noticed her ability, so they sent her out to preach. Of course, it was impossible to kill people casually, and she didn't dare. After all, her ability to fool ordinary people was okay, but for the Brotherhood's
Those higher ups are of no use.
She is such a scumbag that even people within the Brotherhood look down upon her. If she dares to mess around, they can kill her at any time.
…
"This country..." Meila said with some lingering fear.
She almost got hit just now.
Mela's ability can naturally resist this kind of mental bewitchment, but if she is not prepared, she may really fall victim to it.
"Why are there people like this?"
There is no such thing as mutants in the underwater world, or in other words, Atlantis is all mutants, but their mutant abilities are somewhat unified.
"She should be a mutant. Now this country is controlled by mutants!" Kai explained.
"Mutant?"
Kai could only explain to her what mutants were.
"It is precisely because of this that we have to keep a low profile. Otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"Then aren't these people bad guys? Since they are bad guys, why don't you just go and eradicate them? Aren't you a superhero?" Mela didn't understand why Kai was so cautious. According to Kai, these people are all bad guys.
They usurped this country, so wouldn't Kai be able to liberate these people?
Kai frowned and looked at Meila, and then said helplessly: "Meila... I don't believe you can't see it."
Mela is not a silly person, on the contrary, this woman's scheming is extremely terrifying. Kai can even feel that she is not so sincere to Atlanna, and even dismisses many of Atlanna's actions, but
However, she was able to coax Atlanna into being submissive, even better than her own son... Those who didn't know better thought that Mela was Atlanna's daughter-in-law.
In fact, in the Kingdom of Atlantis, many people subconsciously regard Mela as one of their own.
By the way, even now, the engagement between Aum and Mela has not been terminated.
Kai felt that this was Mela's intention.
Although she has not had a formal wedding, she still acts as a princess in Atlantis... and Atlantis recognizes this... This is not something ordinary people can do.
He simply didn't believe that Meila couldn't see why Kai was so low-key.
Mela smiled.
Two big eyes were staring at Kai... Mela lived in a political family... The royal family is also a political family, a political family that has lasted for thousands of years. If such a family didn't understand politics, they would have stepped down thousands of years ago.
, it is impossible to rule until now.
Don't think that a royal family that relies on blood does not need to learn politics. In fact, the royal family is very likely to be replaced by other nobles, because many big nobles actually have the same blood as the royal family, just like Mela wants to replace Atlantis with the royal family of Zebel.
Just like the Sri Lankan royal family, other families also have royal blood flowing through them, both near and far.
It is not unusual for collateral branches to replace the direct meridian.
Thousands of years of political accumulation are enough for anyone in the family to understand the essence of politics.
What politics is is to use all resources to seek more political benefits for oneself.
What are resources.
In the eyes of a royal family like Mela, she is a high-quality political resource. She has a very clear understanding of her appearance, and she also knows how to cash in on this resource and turn it into benefits.
She knows how to get along with people, and she also knows how to please and get closer to men.
This is not some kind of flirting, but a superb skill, and it is not just a show of coquettishness... After all, that thing costs as much as you want in sensual places, it is not valuable at all, and those nobles who have eaten and seen it are not worth it at all.
Eat this set.
The real method is not to sell your flesh to flirt with others, but to gain people's favor in a subtle way.
For example, now, Mela knows that Kai knows that she knows, but she just wants Kai to explain.
Why, because she knew that men like women who are in a lower position and like women's admiration. Men also instinctively like to give advice, and everyone has the problem of "being a teacher". That's why Mela did this deliberately.
Men, as creatures, actually live a life of vanity. Otherwise, why would so many men want to make contributions?
So she just wanted to give Kai this feeling.
She knew that Kai knew that she was not as pure and kind as she showed, and she could even feel that Kai actually knew many of his plans.
But so what?
Does her purpose conflict with Kai's interests?
Indeed, she plans to take over from Atlanna.
But she didn’t intend to harm Atlanna, she only intended to harm Orm. She could feel Kai’s dissatisfaction with Orm!
So...why does Kai hate her?
There's no reason.
And Kai's willingness to play a three-person game with her and Atlanna shows that he doesn't care!
This is enough.
That's why she continues to please Kai.
Meila herself is not opposed to this. She has to find a man anyway, so why not find a man that she likes and can bring her huge benefits?
As for pure love... no... where have you ever heard that royal princesses have such a thing as pure love?
Political creatures do not have pure emotions.
"Okay, okay." Meila, this woman... Kai has always described her as... a fairy! Kai couldn't stand it anymore.
"No matter how they usurp this country, it is the country's own business. Unless the people of this country oppose them, it will not be my turn to make irresponsible remarks."
