Церковь эвтаназии (COE) - это религиозная и антинаталистская активистская организация, основанная Крисом Кордой и Робертом Кимберком (пастором Ким) в Бостоне , штат Массачусетс , в 1992 году. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Как указано на его веб-сайте, это «некоммерческий образовательный фонд, посвященный восстановлению баланса между людьми и оставшимися видами на земле». [ 3 ] Его члены подтверждают, что это может превратиться в реальность только благодаря массовому добровольному сокращению популяции, которое будет зависеть от скачка в человеческом сознании к сознанию видов. [ 4 ] По словам Корды, вполне вероятно, что эта церковь является единственной в мире античеловеческой религией. [ 5 ]
Его самый популярный лозунг - «Спасите планету, убей себя», [ 6 ] и его основополагающая идеология установлена в одной заповедь: «Ты не размножишься» и четыре основных столпа: самоубийство («Необязательно, но поощряется»), аборт («может быть необходимо, чтобы избежать потомства»), каннибализм («обязательно, если вы настаиваете При употреблении плоти ", но только в том случае, если кто -то уже мертв) и содомия (" любой половой акт не предназначен для потомства "). [ 3 ] [ 7 ] Церковь подчеркивает снижение населения только добровольными средствами, [ 8 ] and rejects murder and eugenics as a means of achieving it.[9]
The church promotes its environmental views. They also utilize sermons, art performances, public demonstrations, culture jamming, music, publicity stunts, and direct action to promote their idea of Earth's unsustainable population. They consider their methods similar to those of the Dadaist movement,[10] finding the modern world so absurd that the means needed to spread their message to the public must be absurd themselves. The Church of Euthanasia is also notorious for its conflicts with anti-abortion Christian activists.[11] The group's slogans include "Save the Planet, Kill Yourself", "Six Billion Humans Can't Be Wrong", and "Eat a Queer Fetus for Jesus".[12]
In its heyday the CoE claimed hundreds of official members and thousands of subscribers.[13] Since 2015, the group has become idle but their website remains online as an archive.[14] Some founders of the group, including Korda, continue their antinatalist activism.[2]
History
[edit]The church gained early attention in 1995 because of its affiliation with paranoia.com which hosted many sites that were controversial or skirted illegality. Members later appeared on an episode of The Jerry Springer Show titled "I Want to Join a Suicide Cult".[15][16]
Following the September 11 attacks, the church posted on its website a four-minute music video titled I Like to Watch, combining hardcore pornography with footage of the September 11 attacks and the Collapse of the World Trade Center including an electronic soundtrack recorded by Korda with the lyrics, "People dive into the street/ While I play with my meat." and also “my steel melted and my tower’s coming down.” also showed a man orgasming and then cleaning himself with an American flag. Korda described the project as reflecting her "contempt for and frustration with the profound ugliness of the modern industrial world."[17][18][7]
The church's instructions on "how to kill yourself" by asphyxiation with helium were removed from its website in 2003 after a 52-year-old woman used them and died by suicide in St. Louis County, Missouri, resulting in legal threats against the organization.[19]
