Full Episode
So this McDonald's worker starts a cult and becomes sort of a god. This story is wild. Now her name's Amy and Amy is kind of a new age hippie. She's the manager of a local Mickey D's in Texas. And one day in 2006, she starts having visions and she isn't sure what they mean or why they're happening. But then one day she meets this guy online. His name's White Eagles.
And Amy and White Eagle really hit it off. And he really likes her, so he starts gassing her up. Telling her that she's been having visions because not only is she low-key a god, but she's like THE god. And Amy's like, oh snap! I'm a god! And she starts to believe that she has some divine mission. A mission to leave her whole life behind and save the world. And eventually, she does.
She leaves her kids and her family behind to pursue this divine mission. So she travels from Texas up to Colorado to be with White Eagle, where he lives. And she starts calling herself Mother God. And White Eagle is her father god. And they start posting videos of themselves online.
This is Mother and Father God and the Earth Allies, and we declare peace on Earth equal heart.
And over time, they start building a following online, like a little cult of people wanting to hear them preach their specific brand of spirituality. And over the next few years, this cult following grows bigger. And unfortunately, it doesn't work out between Amy and White Eagle, so she leaves him and she ends up smashing with this new guy, one of her followers. His name's Miguel.
And so now, Miguel is the new Father God. And together, Amy and Miguel officially start a new religion called Love Has Won. And it's like a mix of New Age and Christianity and conspiracy theories. Now, Here's the thing about Miguel. Miguel's actually super organized and good with finances. So he and some other followers set up a website and social media for this new religion.
And this helps them reach more people and get more people to follow them. And then some people even start joining this religion in person, like not online. And since Amy believes she is a god herself, she's preaching all kinds of goofy to these people. Like she claims that she's been around for 19 billion years and has been reincarnated 534 times. She claims that she's Cleopatra reincarnated.
She claims that she's Harriet Tubman reincarnated. She claims that she's Marilyn Monroe reincarnated. She also claims that she's Elvis Presley's mom somehow. And she claims that she can communicate with the spirits of dead celebrities, including Patrick Swayze, John Lennon, Whitney Houston, Prince, Tupac, Robin Williams, all kinds of crazy stuff.
But most importantly, she believes that she can heal people just by touching them. She claims that she's cured cancer in people and Lyme disease and autism. And the worst part is that people believe her.
