Any Moonies in the House?
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 06:32 AM by votesomemore
What is it with this guy, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the Unification Church, Divine Principle, etc.?

His site gives me the creeps for some reason, even though there are some valid points there.

To have a real effect in the world, this higher understanding of truth should also solve the inconsistencies within and between religions, creating the basis for reconciliation among religions and cultures. The major religions, based upon teachings given in the far-distant past, do not compel the intellect of modern people. In particular, this new expression of truth must clarify the meaning of the Bible and all the world's scriptures, paving the way for the world's religions to resolve their internal struggles and become resources for building world peace.

The "Blessing" is especially creepy.

This man wields Power in High Offices. What is his angle? Money? Power?
It appears he is/was involved in espionage/counter intelligence/WHAT?
He has no direct ties to anyone. Just a lot of vague connections.

You did see that he was crowned "Messiah" in a Senate office building a few months ago?
He has a lot of crowns.

I don't believe in "God" per se and deny the validity of religion absolutely.

But, why should I not believe in this apparently loving "Master"?
The Right Wing angle? (that's enough for me, but I must still ask)

He seems to be connected everywhere. Is he the puppeteer, the counter balance, or just a wacko billionaire?

Is his church valid? Does it amount to slavery?
Back door to the religious right lunacy?

I'm just wondering.
