+- what matters are statistics. Maybe FLG people live longer than non FLG in average. But we will never have statistics because of censorship

+- maybe the number of people killed during persecution vastly outnumbers those who died because they would not take medication
+- several religions, including Christianism have miraculous cure claims
+- maybe the main reason why communists banned FLG is the political threat it posed, but that a ban was unjustified given the situation. Christian crosses are being taken down as of 2016, have they stopped taking their medications as well?
+- many some of those people would also have died soon if they had taken medication

+### Falun Gong is completely different in the West than it was in China
+
+I believe that it has changed.
+
+It has become more organized.
+
+People are better educated in general, and discourse must be different to appeal to them, e.g. underplaying the religious aspect.
+
+If you know more ways in which it has changed, let me know.
+
+But I still don't think it justifies the ban.
+
+And once again, we can know nothing for sure about the past in China because of censorship.
+
+Even if you saw something yourself, how can you be sure that it is representative?
+
+And now that it has changed, maybe China should unban it?
+
+### FLG is a fake religion
+
+Similar to the question: does God exist?

+And thus unanswerable, and not interesting to me.
