China Bans Falun Gong

Over 700 Falun Gong Practitioners Died Unjustly

      -- A signed article laying bare damage inflicted by the Falun Gong cult. Excerpt:

      Up to July 28, 743 people across China were reported to have died unjustly due to blind faith in the Falun Gong cult. And a countless number of the cult's followers were injured or disabled. These believers who had died due to Li Hongzhi's fallacy which prevented those who fell ill from taking medicine, receiving injection or seeing doctors.

      Li's theory of "retribution for bad deeds done in a previous existence" is the root cause of the unjust deaths of the Falun Gong practitioners. This theory is at the core of Li's Falun Dafa. According to Li, " The cause for all the unfortunate ailments is the bad deeds done in a previous existence and ailments are a retribution for the bad deeds. He alleged that injection and medication cannot remove the retribution for the bad deeds. If you set your heart at the right place, believe you can practice the Falun Gone well, stop taking medicine, then there will be someone who will cure your ailment."

      Li had written numerous survey reports on Falun Gong's miraculous effects in keeping fit and curing diseases under the pretext of giving full play to the traditional national culture and running counter to the medical science. Instances cited in the survey reports are merely the subjective feeling of the practitioners, even their illusions and hallucinations, without any objective grounds; some take the already cured diseases to the credit of the Falun Gong; some are sheer distortions and fabrications.

      Organizers and planners roamed about and bragged the Falun Dafa on the strength of these seemingly reliable reports. And Master Li Hongzhi lost no time to preach the Falun Dafa with his own experience. So the Falun Dafa had become all the more supernatural and the only Saviour and Noah's ark in the secular world. And Li Hongzhi's fame had surged and become the Saviour of the followers.

      Inspired by "Saviour" Li Hongzhi, many a faithful believers did not go to see the doctor and banked on their Master Li for longevity. Consequently, a minor disease might became a big one, some patients had lost their lives and became innocent victims for Li Hongzhi and the organizers of the Falun Dafa.

      Experiences in history at home and abroad have proved that every step forward is coupled with a fight against preposterous ideas and fallacies in all manifestations and the medical science has grown out of eradication of superstition and witchcraft. On the threshold of the 21st century, Li Hongzhi and his Falun Gong is but a scum of the witchcraft under the cloak of modern science and a farce in the long process of history. It shows to the world's people: "Any witchcraft and fallacy can only harm lives, only the medical science can be the patron saint of human health."
