Falun Gong is not an "irrational cult," and has gathered many adherents. The atheistic state of China refuses to allow any religion or practice that runs counter to its philosophy to be allowed to proliferate (that includes "too much" Christianity). This has been much the case in mose atheistic states during the past 100 years. The totalitarianism has never fully stamped out the practice of the faithful. Your premise is incorrect.

If I *had* to choose though, I'd take the irrational cult rather than the gov't. Again though, I would prefer neither ... just choosing one because you asked for a choice between the two It seems like a lose/lose proposition either way.

I don't like cults, but geez, if you want to wear funny underpants or hyperventilate by a stagnant pond - go for it!! China is run by control freaks.

I would much rather live in a world where differences are respected, and individuality is encouraged. The opposite view - to try to get everyone to conform to ONE way of thinking is just too frightening to contemplate! People have sought the eternal and truth since time immemorial. Why try to crush that out of people now? I promote freedom of thought.
