Consultations to Unification Church victim group jump after Abe death

The God that you should believe in needs no financial support, what with It being a God and all that.

If anything positive can be found from Abe's assassination, it's got to be this. Shining a light on a cult and helping people who have been ripped off get their family members back and hopefully their money too, is definitely a positive!

On the surge in consultations, the church told Kyodo News, "We cannot judge whether 'damages' have actually been incurred without examining the content of each instance that the lawyers' network and other groups refer to as 'damages consultation.'"

The justice system in Japan is pretty zealous prosecuting "victimless" crimes like substance abuse, tax debt and visa overstaying.

But ignores these victims because the perpetrator has high social standing, particularly with conservative political bigwigs.

Glad to see at least one positive thing has come from this.

Why donate so much money to the Obasan (aunt) leader to lavish her lifestyle. She is not your GOD and also not your mother.

Your in for a big surprise. Your soul lives forever.

if that is true, why do the souls of my shoes always wear out and I have to buy new ones, with the 10% Abenonomis sales tax?

Unification church is a woke cult..

Mayyyyybe Japanese authorities will finaly take measure against sects and to prohibite them as it is done in many countries.

Freedom of religion is a right under the constitution. The Americans included that. Religions can not be banned.

Religions can not be banned.

Nor should they be.

But they can be ridiculed.

Religions can not be banned

We shouldn’t try to ban them but I am in favour of making sure they don’t get their tentacles into politics. They are corrosive.

Japan people should stick to Sido or Buddhism.

Traditional Churches don't fail easily!

Sects are a disease all over officiall churches!

A fool and his money are soon parted.

why do the souls of my shoes

You are confused between soles and souls.

Any actual evidence to prove there isn't? With theism having the far larger impact on human history and development, the onus is on new-age atheists to show otherwise

Or one can adopt the agnostic principle that any belief should be founded on evidence. Some things are perhaps unknowable - for example, the cause of existence. Regarding gods, I don't know as I see no evidence therefore I don't believe.

Glad to see at least one positive thing has come from this.

I can see at least two.

@Mr.Kipling amen to that ! Ha
