Am I the only one who would join Eden's Gate?

I'm only about half way through the game but I can't help but feel that everything Joseph is doing is perfectly fine.

I can empathize with Joseph and I can relate with Jacob and see where they are coming from.
The whole thing about "We Consume without Purpose", "Buying things to have, just to buy more things", "How we have our faces glued to 5x7 screens", "How Social Media is how we communicate as well as attack each other", "How we have turned against or Families and Community"
They speak a lot of Truth.
However their Method Is Flawed. You cant Force people to be "saved". They must come willingly or be left to their Fate.

They are wrong and should be stopped.
No I wouldnt join them

Yes I think we differ in our beliefs about how people should be governed. I don't believe that freedom and choice are good things. I think a new sort of medieval era with our current level of medicine and technology would be a great thing. Obviously only trusted, elite members of society would have access to things like the internet but it would still exist to a certain extent. There would be no Facebook of course.

I was thinking that while watching a documentary on people with Prader Willi Syndrome the other day. Normally people with that disease don't survive infancy but with modern medicine we force them to live miserable lives; every single one of them is depressed and morbidly obese and yet always feels like they're starving 24/7. Why save people like that when they're just going to be a burden to everyone around them and are going to be miserable unlike anything we have ever experienced for their whole lives?

You're halfway through but you're aware of the endings? Lol... yeah, Eden's Gate is about delayed gratification, like most cults. You probably would get the boot.

Nature should take care of that. Unfortunately we put "Safety Measures" on everything which hinders the Natural Selection

If Joseph hadnt used drugs and violence to push his agenda and instead used compassion and caring I might have joined him. But he didnt.
His Messege is right.
His Method is wrong.

You would all deffinitly be culled

That's kind of his point though. Lots of people have had the same message and used love and compassion but got nowhere or were called crazy. He decided he had to finally "do something". I agree the drug aspect of the game is a little lame; there are far more realistic ways to indoctrinate prisoners... although I will say I enjoyed Faith's part of the story more due to all the trippy stuff happening.
