WEIRD MOON RISING
Salon has a feature on Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He’s rather, um, unique.
“The separation between religion and politics,” he has observed on many occasions, “is what Satan likes most.” His gospel: Jesus failed because he never attained worldly power. Moon will succeed, he says, by purifying our sex-corrupted culture, and that includes cleaning up gays (“dung-eating dogs,” as he calls them) and American women (“a line of prostitutes”). Jews had better repent, too. (Moon claims that the Holocaust was payback for the crucifixion of Christ: “Through the principle of indemnity, Hitler killed 6 million Jews.”) His solution is a world theocracy that will enforce proper sexual habits in order to bring about heaven on earth.
What sort of proper sexual habits?
I’ll let you read those yourself.
Never laundered?
Yuck. I went and read the rest of them, as suggested. Absurd — and bizarre.
What I want to know is exactly how owning the Washington Times is going to further the Moonocracy. That seems to be a bit of a strategic miscalculation, unless he’s burying subliminal messages in the op-eds.
