Love Has Won: El culto a la Madre Dios

Just watched this documentary. I don't think I've ever seen a more gullible, imbecilic group of people in my life. To blindly follow a childish, narcissistic, alcoholic, believing all the time that she is the embodiment of God on earth. Well, what can I say there's a sucker born every moment. Compassion is one thing. I have that for all of them. They have obviously had very messed up lives, but the levels of ignorance and sheer naïveté are just astonishing here. No one featured on this documentary should ever ever ever reproduce and yet several of them did, and, of course Abandoned their children.

This was definitely a strange documentary, but it was interesting, often funny (unintentionally), and even sad at times. But when a wasted Mother God asked for Chicken Parmesan and was given meatballs, one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a documentary happened. I can't really repeat it because of all the cussing, but her delivery of "Chicken Paremsan! I love meatballs.... but that's not what I wanted! CHICKEN PARMESAN!.... and then something along the lines of "I get dumber every moment I'm around you stupid people" with much more cussing and swearing.... I mean, seriously? If this was real, who would actually think this was a God-like figure who just drank all day long and swore all the time??? If you like bizarre, this one is for you.

I think this documentary is well done in the sense it seems pretty unbiased and just presents the story as it went. Doesn't add too much unnecessary shock value, good production quality, and keeps your attention. Worth a watch if you heard about this story in the news and are curious. I'm glad some of their families came on to speak about her, it gave an insightful and humanizing view.

It's really easy to see why people write off the members as dumb addicts, but I think it's very important to keep in mind that in the right scenario and struggle, anyone can be indoctrinated into a cult. This documentary was really able to show the community aspect of the group, and how that in itself was such a breeding ground for substance abuse, shared delusion, and toxic relationship hierarchies.

My takeaway: I highly encourage people (and wish the education system would teach), to be careful of conspiracy theories, learn about the BITE model, and really read the physiological effects of every drug on the brain before you partake. Spiritual psychosis is very real and studied.

A good way to make money, have a bunch of hippie chicks wait on me hand and foot. Don't need the Anthony Kedis wannabe cramping my style. Sorry this D-bag is a mental criminal who should be jailed n prison. These people are absolutely insane. All are broken people, grasping at anything to give themselves validation. You look at the interviews and just tell there is something not right.

I loved how the Hawaiian people we not putting up with this. A snapshot of what is wrong with people. All are making excuses and pointing fingers as who they s crazier. Here's an idea, drink a bunch of toxic materials to see if a space ship will pick you up.

I've seen a lot of people thinking the people in this are faking, but I found it to highlight really well the mindset of a lot of people who go down the rabbit hole of new age/ "lightworker" thinking. This highlighted one group under one leader, and I wanted it to go more in depth on certain aspects of their beliefs because there is so much going on that those unfamiliar with this world is going to be confused. I appreciated how this documentary let these followers of Amy talk directly about their beliefs because it truly can be something that you have to hear directly from believers to even begin to comprehend that there are people who truly believe these things.

It is a sad story overall, but I think is important for people to watch to understand that there are lots of people mentally living in an entirely different reality from actual reality. Again, I wish this documentary went in a little more detail and could've used an extra episode, but overall reccomend watching.
