Hon-Ming Chen and the True Way Cult - Episode 21

Today we’re talking about the Taiwanese UFO cult formed by Hon-Ming Chen in 1995. This New Religious Movement was a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, and UFOlogy. It emphasized transmigration of souls and placed great emphasis on spiritual energy. Adherents also believed in "outside souls," who basically acted as bad influences, or even as demons, in the human world.  This is a fun episode without any murder involved. However, there is discussion of God flying through space in a UFO and Abraham Lincoln hiding out in Canada as Christ reincarnated. Can't get more fun than that!
