David Berg founded the Children of God under the tenets of "God is love"...and ended up taking his interpretation of god's love waaaaay past the point of sanity. Preaching that sex was how you showed love, the cult encouraged married couples to copulate with others in the cult, that women share the word of god with strangers by engaging in sexual relations, and even told parents that they should engage in sexual activity with their own children, and the children of others in the organization. With his charismatic charm, and confidence in which he proselytized, his followers hung on his every word, and easily convinced others to join them. Unfortunately, this created an incredibly dangerous environment for children being raised in the cult, as well as many of the adult members. Join us today, as we delve into the horrifying activities Berg and the Children of God members committed in the name of God, under his direction.
