Russian Cult reminiscent of Waco
It’s one thing for adults to blow themselves up, but why can’t they spare the children??? I know they’re crazy but that’s not the fault of these poor kids…
MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) — A doomsday cult leader whose followers are barricaded inside a cave in southern Russia will be taken to the site in an attempt to secure the release of several children, according to a government official.
The 29 cult members — including four children as young as 18 months — retreated last month to the hideout in the Penza region, about 640 kilometers (400 miles) southeast of Moscow, threatening to blow themselves up if the authorities tried to intervene.

All religions are manmade for the sole purpose of control. It should be considered child abuse to raise any child in any religion. Thomas Paine said it very clearly in ‘The Age of Reason’ that religion is purely an accident of birth. Anyone in this day and age that still needs a security blanket of myths and fables deserves whatever they get, but my heart goes out to the children of these ignorant superstitious fools.
