Falun Gong in Space

Wednesday November 24, 2004
Freedom of speech, especially the religious kind, is hard to come by in China- so the Falun Gong sect decided to hijack a satellite to beam their message into China. Although the Falun Gong (The actual name of the movement is Falun Dafa) appear to be one of the most harmless groups on earth, they seem to have the Chinese government terrified- of what, nobody's quite sure. You can read more about Falun Dafa here.

If you've been waiting for something new, check out the new section on Mithraism. New texts are in the library, too.
