    Fulan Gong being registered as a Religion in the US makes it tax exempt. Not a real religion. It's always been a political animal.

    I don't think anyone can defend Falun Gong on scientific or rational grounds. Their beliefs are...loopy, to say the least. Thing is though, do they deserve to be met with violence? I mean, we can laugh at flat-earthers, but do they deserve to be beaten up?

    Ok folks sorry for the sidetrack, I wasn't being entirely serious. Whether they are a religion or weirdos or fake new conspiracy theory spreaders doesn't make attacking them right.

    I doubt very much that they were beaten up for their homophobic views though.
