Published on May 16, 2012

Deep in Siberia's Taiga forest is Vissarion, a cult leader who looks like Jesus and claims to be the voice of God. He's known as "the Teacher" to his 4,000 followers, who initially seem surprisingly normal. Over time, however, their unflinching belief in UFOs and the Earth's imminent demise made this group start to look more and more like some sort of strange cult.

    i think nothing of him, for he is nothing jesus already warned us about them, but what makes me sick is the people following him, for a true christian knows their god,
