8 Incredibly Strange Religions From Around The World

4. Nuwaubianism

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grz-22Fsg94 The Nuwaubian Nation was founded by Dwight York . The group began as Black Muslim group in 1970s New York....and then things go weird. York went through a few psuedo-religious organizations before officially founding Nuwaubianism. His teachings started with heavily modified islamic themes, and has since formed a greatest hits of cult teachings, borrowing form Ancient Egypt, UFO culture, Cryptozoology, and conspiracy theorists. In the 1990s York built Tama-Re in Georgia. It was a heavily Egyptian-themed compound for his followers that was demolished in 2005 after it was sold. York himself was arrested in 2002 and convicted on charges of child molestation. He now claims that he should be immune from prosecution because his is a Consul to Liberia. Yeah. I don't want to spend too much time going over exactly why this cult founded by a convicted child molester and at one time based in an Egyptian amusement park is weird, so I'll leave you with five, randomly selected beliefs, taken from the writings of York, many of which were sent out as letters from prison (Collected by Wikipedia from his many letters and writings): It is important to bury the afterbirth so that Satan does not use it to make a duplicate of the recently-born child. The physical body, when one dies, recycles from the ground in which it's planted, it then penetrates into the atmosphere as film or dust particles and are breathed into the nostrils of human beings where they are recycled by triggering nerves in the sinus cavity. This sinus cavity works like a kidney to sift out the unneeded particles and relates the chemical composure of that which is needed into the mother's blood stream and the human flesh is reanimated and this is the process by which a child is given form or flesh in the Mother's womb. Women existed for many generations before they invented men through genetic manipulation. "The Koran called the Holy Qur'aan or the glorious Qur'aan as held in the hands of Muslims today is a product of Jewish scholars and the Catholic Church's branch of the Jesuit priest under Pope Augustine." -Dwight York The Earth is hollow and contains cities populated by different species of people, such as the Deros, the Teros, the Flugelrods, the Duwanis, the Dunakial, and the Anunnaqi. The legends of the Sumerians, Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Olmecs, Mayans, Hopi, and Hindus speak of these things (for instance, the story of the river Styx). Many of the chambers of the Egyptian pyramids lead to this subterranean world.
