Oh wow! Glad you left! I bet it was absolutely horrific for all involved. And yes, heartbreaking too. I hope he covers it as I cannot wait to hear his take on it.

2022-08-17 01:06:17 +0000 UTCThank you, Barbara and Mojava, for the enlightment. As I said in my original comment, I didn't know enough about buddhism. I read the article, and now I know... When you use religion to define who you - or your country - are, those who don't profess the same religion are immediatly viewed as ennemies. I too stop believing in religion in my teens (which is a very long time ago).

2022-08-16 23:30:02 +0000 UTCYou should check out the Buddism in Sri Lanka. Lots of crimes.

2022-08-16 02:39:52 +0000 UTCI was thinking this would be a great mini-series! There have been quite a few of those on strange Mormons lately. Some seriously weird beliefs going on in that world! Glad I'm an observer and not a participant!

2022-08-16 01:02:28 +0000 UTCAgree 100%. And, sorry to shatter your belief about Buddhists, but I did find this: "https://www.thoughtco.com/short-history-of-violent-buddhism-195794" Personally, I left religious beliefs behind me a long time ago, which is not to say I believe all religious people are evil. If they keep their beliefs to themselves and don't harm anyone or animals with their beliefs, then what they believe is a personal matter. It's just when their beliefs cause harm of any kind to others that I have a problem. I even follow a couple of pastors and like what they have to say. But faith leaders like them are scarce.

Paula Bernardes-Silva
2022-08-15 21:15:20 +0000 UTCI'll just say this: throughout history, countless crimes have been commited in the name of religion. All religions! Except maybe buddhism?... I don't know enough about it.

2022-08-15 21:14:44 +0000 UTC@Fiona Of course you can! Eyes are connected to the brain, otherwise you couldn't see. I must correct myself: you would see, but won't be able to interpret what you see, because that's the function of the brain.

2022-08-15 03:27:29 +0000 UTCHey Mike, Great video, per usual! Question, have you heard of the Krugersdorp Cult Case in South Africa back in 2016? I just stumbled upon the story and thought I'd ask. If not I hope you'd consider doing a video on it. Many blessings, Ase' 💙

2022-08-14 23:48:49 +0000 UTCI know! I’m curious though, can you even reach your brain via your eyes? Also, why would that be your chosen method??
Fiona McGarry
2022-08-14 23:36:04 +0000 UTCYep, I have lots of Mormon kin, of the mainstream church and not the outlier cult types. That could be why I noticed how often these stories involve Mormons. Maybe I worded it wrong. I do not think Mike is going after Mormons by intent. It is just fascinating to me that the sort of people we associate with being good and moral, the devoutly religious, are the ones who commit these very twisted deeds. It is remarkable, again, how often the churchgoing “good Christian” man or woman, of all denominations, are involved in murdering spouse or child, or both.
Ellen Atwood
2022-08-14 23:32:36 +0000 UTCWell, Mormons are Christians, but with some unique tenets compared to “regular” Christians. Ditto Catholics, they are usually called out separately from the pack. Their unique features do make those two denominations somewhat more identifiable to the average Joe than the differences between a Baptist and a Methodist, for example.
Ellen Atwood
2022-08-14 23:21:52 +0000 UTCThanks for the upload Mike.
Eileen Fothergill
2022-08-14 23:19:29 +0000 UTCIf you know about the Mormon faith, you know that certain segments of that population operate in a manner that leans heavily towards cult-ish and severely oppressive of human nature. It’s not Mike choosing to go after Mormons, it’s that those individuals’ beliefs are significant to the mindset of those who committed the crimes - the kids in OK who murdered their parents & siblings, Vallow/Daybell, etc. There have been several stories where other faiths have been noted where the faith or the church is part of the story. This one, though, is LDS, which is an offshoot but not actually Mormon. Notice that his influence ran through the church, therefore, significant to the story.

2022-08-14 22:37:42 +0000 UTCGreat to see you on a Sunday Brother 🌹
Alicia Hoverson
2022-08-14 22:16:16 +0000 UTCI think it’s interesting to note that anytime someone IS a Mormon it’s brought up publicly but when they are Baptist’s or Presbyterian or Lutheran it’s just not “as interesting” I’m a firm believer that there are extremes in everything. This is just something I’ve noticed 🤷🏼♀️
Sarah Naylor
2022-08-14 22:09:21 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite cult stories. Glad you covered this one my friend

Nikita
2022-08-14 20:28:29 +0000 UTCCurious if you select Mormons for these whacko crimes, or if Mormons just seem to invest in the belief they are a god already to propel them into bizarre crimes? Seems like quite a few of your stories involve devoted Christian church goers and preachers, with Mormon affiliation coming out on top. The association of “good Christians” who murder spouses because divorce is bad has always baffled me. This one was a really good and really weird story! Thanks!
Ellen Atwood

2022-08-14 19:01:17 +0000 UTCI’ve suggested the Isla Vista Massacre and you haven’t done it yet, you did respond on YouTube and say you’d give it a goooo. But, I’m being patient and waiting. I’m sure you have about a million cases on your list.
Anne Miner-Slothower
2022-08-14 18:57:56 +0000 UTCThanks Karen- assume you’re one of us? And Mike too of course. That was a really interesting one. I’d love to know how those 2 convinced themselves that taking a Black & Decker to innocent people was Jesus like, this is why I’m an atheist!
