Chinese authorities detained 93
people, including 37 affiliated with the “Almighty God” cult, for spreading
rumors of impending apocalypse, the Xinhua News Agency reported today.
Members of the cult have latched onto the “Mayan
doomsday scenario” and warn that the sun won’t shine and electricity won’t work
for three days starting Dec. 21, Xinhua reported.
Four people were arrested for allegedly swindling
elderly people by telling them that they had to believe in the cult to survive
doomsday, the report said.
