"Drinking the Kool-Aid" comes from the Jim Jones cult.
To answer Daz's question, I'd imagine that nobody has claimed to be Muhammad because they would rather keep their head on their shoulders.
That’s true, but there’s also no point. In Islam, Muhammad was a mortal man who died and went on to jannah. There’s no concept of him returning to Earth in any way like Jesus.
@@1080lightsNot Muhammad but there is a concept of a Mahdi who will come to the earth to save the world, and you’re incorrect there have been many people over the course of islamic history that have claimed to be him. Cults are not exclusive to Christianity
Poor Sharon Tate was 8 1/2 months pregnant and begged for her baby’s life to be spared she also cried out for her mother… evil evil people
4:20 He's talking about the People's Temple and Jonestown, so is this the Jonestown massacre? Yes, yes it is.
Can’t believe he left out the Branch Davidians.. that David Koresh guy.
exactly
Heaven’s Gate didn’t have purple sneakers, they were all wearing black and white Nikes. But they did cover themselves in a purple sheet.
Yes he was right but just mixed up the colours
Daz right about the Heavens gate wearing track suits and sneakers. They also had change in their pockets for the fare to board the comet 😂😂😂
Also, two brave souls stayed behind so they could “update the website”
Something tells me "The Church of the Lamb of God" isn't a Lamb of God fan group.
Weird thing about Heaven's Gate, their headquarters was in a big mansion in Rancho Santa Fe California, which at one time was the richest zip code in the US. The mansion was bull-dozed after the incident (I mean, who would want to live there). We live about 10 miles away.
Marshall Applewhite was my mechanic's brother (Applewhite Automotive, near San Antonio, TX)... I heard about the Heaven's Gate thing before it hit the news because of this relation.
I live in Canada and the Roch Thériault story really shook the nation back then. That dude was an absolute monster.
Look up The Jerusalem Syndrome - has affected many different people from different religious backgrounds. Most are/were otherwise mentally grounded and had no past episodes of metal disturbances. It's an interesting phenomenon.
Now I'm glad I never leave my home
Cults are often inspired by multiple faiths and philosophies. This includes religions like Christianity, Buddhism and also esoteric movements and communism. It is true that in the West most cults are based on Christianity.
However, to me it always seems that Islam started out as a cult as well, taking inspiration from Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Arab paganism. The Quran is filled with references to the imminent Apocalypse, allows for polygamy especially for the prophet Muhammad who had at least 9 wives including an underage girl of 6 years old, commands followers to kill apostates and hypocrites. Besides that there are weird references to esoteric beliefs and practices, especially in Islamic oral traditions.
Actually, I could almost give the exact same list for Mormonism.
Yeah, the Branch Davidians spun off from the Seventh Day Adventists. The difference between cult and religions are the orders of magnitude in number of followers
Imagine pledging loyalty and financial support to some un-accredited leader and repeating what he says no matter how often he is disproven, only blindly follow him and blame each failure and criminal accusation/ conviction on the free press, revered institutions, judicial authorities and the majority of the free world.
Yes, I can imagine it, The MAGA cult does exactly that....and for the life of me, I can not understand it.......oh, sarcasm......well done!
i see what you did there
Yes, the omission of David Koresh (Branch Davidians) was surprising.
Probably didn't want to be flooded with threats from his latter-day Trumper supporters.

Hahah, Mike is that dude from heavens gate cult,look at them side by side,same guy
Don't know if someone mentioned this, but one of the people who died at the Heaven's Gate compound was supposedly a relative of Nichelle Nichols, the actress who plays Uhura on Star Trek tv shows and movies.
At least, that was a big rumor back then. Not sure if it turned out to be false or true
I'm Christian, and all of these people's beliefs could have easily been refuted had they read the Bible. But notice they used it as a facade and then did away with the Bible completely. That's why protestantism emphasizes so much on being "Bible-Based". Anyways, what's interesting is I know for sure Christ says in the Bible that there would be many false people who will pretend to be him. Written over 2,000 years ago.
In my experience, of you tell a person or group that approaches you trying to recruit you to fuck off loudly, word will spread and they'll all stay away after that.
Daz you weren't off when remembering sneakers. They all did wear the same sneakers but they weren't purple. The sheets they covered themselves in were.
You were right about the association with purple for the Heaven's Gate (Hale Bopp Comet) Cult- They all wore Nike sneakers and covered themselves in purple shrouds. Also, The Peoples Temple drank Grape (purple) Cool-Aid.
Once again, I’d like to point out Daz & Mike doing the same thing at the same time 9:16
No one is dumb enough to pretend to be the founder of Islam after what happened in Paris in 2015 to the journalists of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine.
I saw a video of some of the girls who followed Charles Manson being escorted to court and they were holding hands and singing whilst grinning felt very eerie and gave me goosebumps😫
Yeah. Manson continually groomed young girls and boys far before they even planned to un alive Tate and others.. he was also caught committing many terrible crimes as well as being caught with groups of underaged run away girls but he was always released from custody either with no bail or low costs. All of it just adds to the mysterious and evil aura around him and his group
Seems like most people join in search of community and answers. The less skeptical ones completely buy into the leader's story. There are definitely non-Christian based ones, but they aren't in the news as much because they're usually less.... "unalivey", to keep with the theme of that video.
You guys should give Dan Soders new comedy special a chance. It’s on UA-cam and one of the best specials of the year imo
Isn’t Jesus supposed to return? That’s probably why you get a lot of imposters.
I think the video also missed the Branch Davidians & Rajneeshpuram-Osho, which I don`t know if they were `major` cults/movements in order to be included in this video, but both were big news of their day. And the thing is that both of these groups still exist today in smaller sections around the globe. Fun trivia ... the 2 different locations that these 2 groups were infamously in eerily sounded similar. One was in Waco county & the other was in Wasco county.

Almost all cult leaders are one of two things: Creeps or thieves. The former are more likely to do stuff like this when they sense they're about to face justice. The latter are more likely to run off with bags of money.
There have been movements where a person claims to be either the Mahdi (Muslim) or the Jewish Messiah. And India has had several people claiming to be the Avatar of this or that God/God-Aspect. That said the, arguably, most murderous religion in history was founded by a man (Hong Xiuquan) who claimed to be Jesus's Chinese brother.
Colonia Dignidad and Nation of Yahweh might also fit in the parameters of some of these. Colonia Dignidad was led by a former Nazi and was a subject in the film "Colonia" or "The Colony". It's been linked to torture and kidnapping. Nation of Yahweh was led by a "Yahweh ben Yahweh" who would be convicted for conspiracy to commit murder. Yahweh ben Yahweh was born Hulon Mitchell Jr and his sister was opera singer Leona Mitchell. And looking it up a murderous women led cults I find a Magdalena Solís who was called "The High Priestess of Blood" and a Japanese cult woman who was executed for multiple murder.
And though not the most murderous "Ant Hill Kids" is extremely freaky.
I was born in 1981...I'm the true successor!

Wired I literally watch this this morning now u guys wtf
Heaven's Gate had black and white Nike sneakers.
Steve McQueen was invited to go to the Tate residence to hang out but he got derailed by meeting a woman so he didn't go. I can imagine had he been there he probably could have done them all in knowing his skills and temperament. You see, that house was formally owned by Terri (Doris Day's) son who was a record producer. Charlie wanted to break into the music biz and hung out with some of the Beach Boys at their house. He wanted his song he recorded to be heard and finally got to meet Terri who did listen to it but turned him down as it wasn't that great in his opinion. This pissed off Charlie. Terrib and his then live-in girlfriend (Candace Bergen) eventually moved out of the house and then Roman Polanski and Sharon bought it. They hadn't been living there too long and Charlie was stewing and held a grudge towards Terri. His aim was to get Terri that night not Sharon or the 5 others but thinking he still lived there, he sent his crew over there and unfortunately it was an 8 month's pregnant Sharon, and friends killed and the following night with the LaBiancas. He listened to the song by the Beatles (Helter Skelter) and thought the Beatles were confirming to him (in his messed up brain) they were saying to go out and do it. Charlie wanted to start a race war. What he did and the brainwashing of all his followers ended the Summer of Love in 1969.
scientology
Sammy Davis Jr was supposed to be at the house where the Tate/lobianca killings happened. He was very late in getting to California and thankfully missed being murdered by the Manson disciples.
Its always Jesus because deep down we all know there is no name above the name of Jesus. 'Every knee will bow and tongue will confess Jesus is Lord.'

Cults are really just small religions. A cult that gets enough members becomes a religion i.e. Scientology and Mormonism. If we go back far enough, even the big religions like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism all started as small local cults.
Scientology is a cult, but Mormonism is a sect of Christianity. I always find it funny when hardcore Christians make fun of Mormon beliefs, as if theirs are any less crazy.
Scientology is def a cult.
Every major religion is just a large cult
They forgot Scientology and MAGA.
& feminism & BLM & MeToo
@@strider9184
Those aren't cults. They lack all the criteria of what is a cult. MAGA on the other hand meets almost all the criteria for a cult, most importantly a single leader with followers that worship and basically believe every word the leader says. BLM , feminism and MeToo are simply movements that are promoting a series of ideas. There is no single leader telling people what to think and believe.
Such a better channel without the ginger
Before finishing this I'm going to assume the Finder's cult isn't mentioned. It's too spicy for UA-cam/ "conspiratorial" for mainstream creators even though it's been confirmed due to declassified government documents 😅

I don't see the frankists on the list, oy vey
The trump cult blows all these cults out the water
they left out the maga cult
THEY'RE EATING OUR PETS!!!
There was a huge Jesus Movement in the US during the 1970s. Wish it was a science movement...lol understandable US is at the bottom of the standings in terms of Edumucation 😅
Why is it referring to the People's Temple, when that was Jim Jones' cult that was described.
Might need to add the trump cult to this list.
Take away people's voice, deprive them of all opportunity and step on the culture and nation they built openly and watch what happens
^^looks like we found one! Get em boys!
No other supporter of a political candidate is as loud and obnoxious as a Trumpeter. I was waiting to go into surgery for 2 hours a couple of weeks ago, and this old guy across from me kept talking about Trump and politics to every nurse and doctor that came by, completely unprovoked.
Goes to show that all you have to do is provide really simple answers to complicated questions with no facts or truth behind them, and say it with a lot of confidence...and idiots around the world will believe you.
@@IndependentLogos nobody victimizes themselves more than a white conservative christian
The answer to your question about what makes people do stuff like this is quite easy. The answer is religion simple as that and the video should be proof enough it’s been nothing but a thorn to mans mind since forever. More of a curse than a blessing
Showing someone in a cult they are in a cult does nothing but make them believe they are right. You can say "they were wrong" about every religion ever. There is no proof any god has ever existed.
It reminds me of the saying that it's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.
