The Baekjo Church b4913100fe wasn’t a religion 87ab4f3c95 that appeared out 516362997a of nowhere.

A clear cult heresy, 2cf4d00f72 worshiping a nine-tailed fox f71d64b6ab and justifying human sacrifice 06d39d28b6 by killing children, its 63202aadde influence was limited to be24cf8e44 urban legend status.
