David Koresh

Remember David Koresh? He truly was a terrorist. Such 'thinkers' as he still exist in this world, who knows what they do in the name of a god unknown to them.

Koresh David

I don't think D.K. Should even be included under religious beliefs he is more like a dictator and there for be classed as one all dictators preach one thing or another they all live by intimidation and fear all people like this have no place in our world there for  get rid of them, lock them up for life where they cannot hurt anybody if they feel the need to preach talk to the four walls sometimes the walls have ears ya never know who hears ya.

David Koresh Beliefs Religious General

A dictator can be considered a religious leader. Religion is about belief, even if in our personal view it seems wacky or unfair, it is still religion. Another point is this board is not just for religion, but traditions and those things that people beleiev in or do as a custom.

The scary part about David Koresh and others like him was that he is a cult leader and he is keeping his followers away from their familys and friends. This effectively takes away any checks and balances in making intelligent decisions. They are separated from the flock, so to speak, and then slowly brain wash with no one to stop whats happening. While I do not agree with the way it was handled, David Koresh was most definitely a cult leader who was leading himself and his followers down a dark path.

David Koresh was definitely a cult leader, but from the articles that I have read about him, it is because he was seen as being charismatic' that he got the dedicated following that he did.

He even sent some of his leaders to 'recruit' from churches in Manchester, England, and one man lost his whole family, when his wife took herself and their children over to America to follow David Koresh and his believers.

This truly was tragic as it unfolded on our tv screens, and the realization that so many men, women and children had lost their lives, so horrifically.

Tonight on 'Nightline' - RETURN TO WACO

It's been more than 14 years since the fiery showdown in Waco, Texas, between David Koresh's Branch Davidian sect and the federal government. Six members of the religious group and four federal agents were killed when agents tried to arrest Koresh on gun charges in February 1993, beginning a 51-day standoff. The siege ended with a fire that engulfed the religious compound, killing Koresh and as many as 75 followers. Today a new Branch Davidian, Charles Pace, lives on the property with his family, hoping to revitalize the faith and preserve the memory of all who died in 1993. But the government may get in the way of the Davidians once more -- the state of Texas is planning a superhighway that could go right through their land. Charles Pace has vowed not to let that happen. Anchor Terry Moran was in Waco recently where he spoke to Pace and survivors of the 1993 siege about what happens next.
