10 Utterly Fascinating Cults
5. Church Of Euthanasia
You can take a guess what these folks are about from the name alone. Established in 1992 by the Reverend Chris Korda, a former software developer and techno musician, the church's chief concern is the issue of over population; but the means by which they propose to solve the issue are pretty out there.
The Church of Euthanasia advocates sodomy, as you can't get pregnant that way, abortion because there are already too many of us, suicide because obviously, look at the name; and cannibalism because it would solve the issue of overpopulation and world hunger. Their beliefs are kind of proactive, but also seriously fucking crazy.
The Church's website used to carry instructions on how to kill yourself, but they were forcibly removed after a woman committed suicide following their instructions by asphyxiating herself with helium. The website itself reads like an obnoxious art project, but you should really have a look - it's kind of fascinating... in a insane sort of way.
