FOR SOME REASON THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY NEEDED NEW NIKE'S FOR THE JOURNEY
The group believed that the only way to gain access to the spacecraft was by death, followed by resurrection three and a half days later. This is extremely similar to the story told in the Bible of Jesus’ death and resurrection in three and a half days. They committed their mass suicide in 1997, 2000 years on from the year 4 B.C.E., a date commonly given for the birth of Jesus.
To people outside of the group, this all seems a little bizarre and far-fetched. It's no surprise that most of the followers were great believers in extra-terrestrials and devout followers of sci-fi programmes such as Star Wars. Some of their rituals whilst in the group included wearing cones on their heads to get used to what their bodies would be like once they ascended to the Level Above Humans. This suggests that the members wanted to live a supernatural life which resembled that of what they watched on TV, a life where all their problems on earth would be erradicated. Heaven's Gate also offered a means for people to cure addictions, such as alcoholism, as alcohol and other "earthly sins" were forbidden in the closed, secluded community they lived in. They had to cut all ties with friends and family, for fear that they would influence them away from the group and it's teachings, although unlike suicide "cults" such as Jonestown, members were free to leave at any time if they wished; they were not kept against their will
