Title: Be afraid, be very afraid.
Post by: Rictor on August 05, 2004, 09:06:02 am

Remember a while ago I posted a thread (//"http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,24864.0.html") about Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church, basically what amounts to a cult? I posted news about his coronation ceremony in Washington, in a government building, paid for by state money and attended by several high ranking US official, including several Senators and Congressmen and foreign diplomats, during which Moon was crowned as The Messiah.

Well, apparently, he's been...supplying Russian nuclear submarines to the North Koreans. And it would appear that he did this with the intent of establishing a religious state (like the Vatican) somewhere in his homeland of North Korea, now that his loony chruch is running into difficulties opearting in the US, Japan and South Korea.

Crazy cult leader with delusions of grandeur

Lots of money and influence

Despotic North Korean regime

Bad stuff is going down.

I'm not worried so much about NK's nuclear capabilities, I don't believe they'de use nukes offensively even if they had them, no country is that stupid. But what I am worried about it the possibility of Moon integrating his particular brand of fundamentalist, crack-pot Christianity into NK's 1984-like state of affairs, and an already well-established cult of personlity mentality.

Would it really change NK, though?  It'd just be swapping one nutcase personality cult for another....
