re: Religion: Falun Gong, Cults and Persecution (Alain de Benoist, France)
Posted on November 7th, 2009 No commentsIstvan Simon wrote on 6 November:
When a spiritual movement has as many adherents as the Falun Gong does, it is absurd to call it a cult.
Alain de Benoist responds:
Maybe. A question, however: what is the level of membership to be reached for getting the privilege not to be called a cult anymore? Are religions cults which have been successful, and cults religions which have failed?
