Authorities in Kenya say the number of people who died after a pastor ordered his followers to starve to death in order to meet Jesus has surpassed 300. The death toll rose to 303 after 19 more bodies were removed from mass graves in the vast forested land where pastor Paul Mackenzie and his followers lived. Kenya's interior minister says more exhumations are planned. A regional commissioner said Tuesday that 613 people tied to the area are missing. Mackenzie is expected back in court this week after police were granted more time to hold him pending investigations.

I would love it if we didn’t get any more reminders that Christianity is a literal death cult.

    I was born into it and it definitely bothered me, but then the constant onslaught desensitized me. I remember an exchange student came to our church and was horrified by all the songs we had about blood.
