The Tragedy of Susan Alamo

After the death of Susan Alamo, the leader Tony Alamo mishandled the situation disturbingly. He had Susan's body embalmed and displayed in a wedding dress, making his followers pray over it for her resurrection. This bizarre and macabre practice continued for six months, during which children in the cult were forced to cuddle with her corpse, not only heightening the trauma inflicted upon them but also demonstrating the complete disregard for human dignity. The cult's rituals during this period reflected a dangerous level of delusion, with Tony convincing himself and his followers that combatting death was a spiritual battle.
