“ | And yet the Jews condemn Hitler for killing Jews! Well, now you know why Hitler wanted to kill'm all! The World would have been a lot better off without them a long time ago! | „ |
~ David Berg |
“ | Even with Hitler, it was the Evangelicals who were his staunchest supporters,--The Christians of Germany! Think of that! Because he was for a lot of good things and a lot of the right things, which now as we look back we can see were right. | „ |

David Brandt Berg (February 18th, 1919 - October 1st, 1994) was the founder and leader of The Children of God (1969). Children of God was intended as an alternative to mainstream Christianity which attracted drogues of hippies and unchurched youth. Berg's religious views grew more extreme over time. Eventually causing his group to gain more of a cult identity.
Berg gained notoriety when he published "Law of Love" in which the cult now sanctioned "flirty flashing" (women were instructed to be "Hookers for Christ" by luring men into the cult via unprotected sex. If they got pregnant, it was all part of god's plan and the children were called "Jesus Babies"). Berg gained even more notoriety by claiming that it was okay for anyone to have sexual relations with people outside of the group, regardless of their age. This turned the cult into a hotspot for child rapists/abusers that formed the base of their membership.
Many of Berg's immediate family came out testify the abuse and molestation that Berg directed upon them. These family members included Berg's granddaughters, Merry and Joyanne Berg, and his adopted son, Ricky Rodriguez.
Berg died in Portugal and was buried in Costa de Caparica. His remains have been cremated.
and the actors and actresses joaquin phoenix and rose mcgowan were just a few of the victims who actually escaped his cult in the end.
