8.18.3.1. Falun Gong’s view of epidemics (法轮功的流行病观)
Li Hongzhi (李洪志, LHZ, Falun Gong prophet) has said in canon things that lead certain believers (including e.g. Ciro’s mother in law) to believe that because they are good Falun Gong believers, that they are more safe from disease from evil people.
You must have seen the epidemic that’s come along in China now, right? Hasn’t a huge epidemic arrived? To put it in human terms, it’s Heaven punishing people. What it’s targeting, we Dafa disciples know full well: it’s targeting those who don’t deserve to be saved, who are impossible to save while Dafa disciples clarify the truth, and who aren’t useful to the evil rotten spirits. This is the first round of cleansing. Heaven is punishing the evil, yet China is still lying to cover up the number of deaths, and I’ll tell you, it’s huge, and it hasn’t peaked yet.
Such beliefs have of course carried over directly to COVID-19. Of course, epidemics make the moral question much more difficult, because not taking care of yourself means you can kill others besides yourself.
An amazing quote from https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2020/3/20/183715.html:
Stay Rational
Pandemics and plagues are part of a divine plan and inevitable in the course of history.
Stay rational. Believe in God ;-)
Epidemics are also likely moments where religious grow due to more people being more desperate and looking for solace that cannot be found in this shitty world.
It is indeed tempting to believe that the virus magically kills only the Evil. What reality could be so fucked up where the innocent suffocate to their death? And yet, here we are.
