Should Americans be concerned that on March 23rd a bipartisan group of Congressmen attended a coronation at which a billionaire, pro-theocracy newspaper owner was declared to be the Messiah – with royal robes, a crown, the works? Or that this imperial ceremony took place not in a makeshift basement church or a backwoods campsite, but in a Senate office building?

There goes my faith in makind. I'm starting to think Thunder's 10 year prophecy might not be all that wrong.

pictures and a movie of the event can be found here:

Now, this March, Moon was telling guests at the Dirksen Senate Office Building that Hitler and Stalin, having cleaned up their acts, had, in a rare public statement from beyond the grave, called him "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."

And there was me thinking that Hitler & Stalin commonly made public statements from beyond the grave

I have family(well, they're my Uncle's wife's family) that are(were?) members of the Unification Church.  It's nothing but a Cult centered around the ravings of Moon.  And by "cult" I mean all the negative conotations that the word entails.

[Jetmech Jr.]

...you gotta be f***ing kidding me...

[Rictor]

Yeah. a cult that has resources and influence to put their (his?) wacko plans into action. This guy is a billionare, and apprently has friends very, very high up, who are willing to promote his agenda. And its all payed for with tax dollars. Brilliant.

It'de be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

It's just one more nail in the coffin of freedom.

Doesn't surprise me. When someone declared they were Christ in the UK, he was put in an institution for several years, and then spent several episodes of 'Have I got News for You' being asked if his Glass of water tasted strangely alcoholic

[Moonsword]

Strangely, I find myself compelled to agree with the local Republicans on this one:

This is nuts.

I think there just doing it for the money. he is a billionare after all.

It's worse than nuts, it'd be nuts if no-one was taking it seriously, but obviously a lot of very powerful people ARE taking it seriously. That makes it bloody dangerous

And ignoring every mainline Christian denomination's rejection of the idea of Jewish collective guilt, Moon's latest world tour calls on rabbis to repent for betraying Christ, the Jerusalem Post reported last week. Speaking in Arlington, VA in 2003, Moon said Hitler killed six million Jews as a penalty for this rejection. And he's frank about calling for democracy and the U.S. Constitution to be replaced by religious government that he calls "Godism," calling the church-state separation the work of Satan. "The church and the state must become one as Cain and Abel," he said in the same sermon.

I just can't help but cringe when people prove Il Duce right. Especially if this is what is made of out of our democracy.

It's great, the people we have running this wonderful land...

What worries me is the amount of religious agendas in the US at the moment. Especially with Equal and Opposite members in Islam (though, at least Mohammed was smart enough to cut off the 'I am the returned Mohammed!' option )

[Lonestar]

No Surprise to me really, ive been reading up on this awhile. I always said US politics were screwed and proof is finally surfacing.

oh...my...god

I just watched the video. I was originally going to put up certain quotes in here, but as I watched the video there were just too many.

watch the video, its speaks volumes. The torrent download took me like 30 seconds, its super fast.

What a nutjob, I'm actually scared. His speech pattern and mennerism frighteningly reminds me of a certain German statesman.

Now is the time for global governance centred on God

Moon's crowning ceremony was attended by

81 US senators and members of congress, 26 ambassadors to the United States and some 450 leaders from various fields.

Like the Roman Empire 2000 years ago, America, A Christian nation, stood with a mission of realizing God's ideal, and spreading this ideal to the world.

Father and Mother Moon proclaimed the daawning of a new movement called the Family Federation for the ideal kingdom, through peaceful unification of Heaven and Earth. Senators and Congressmen and representatives of all the families joined in. Gods' fatherland is the ideal heavenly kingdom of cosmic peace and unity./ From the begginings of the universe on into eternity.

I'll post some more quotes later on, this is just half the video.

2000 years ago NO ONE was a christian nation
