Moon gets Mooned

Scumbag religious fraud, huckster and convicted felon Sun Myung Moon, owner of and life support system for the Washington Times, gets the thumbs down from Cook Island.

Pacific Islands: PINA and Pacific
Members of the Religious Advisory Council have unanimously agreed to oppose any attempts to register the Moonies' Unification Church in the Cook Islands.

The term “Moonies’ refers to members of Reverend Sun Myung Moon's controversial Unification Movement. Members prefer the term Unificationist but the American media coined the word in 1974 during their “Madison Square Garden” campaign.

According to Moon’s doctrines, Jesus Christ failed in his mission and must be supplanted by a second, Korean-born messiah.

Moon was quoted in one of his lectures saying, “I am the incarnation of God, the whole world is in my hands and will conquer and subjugate the world. God is now throwing Christianity away and is now establishing a new religion, and this new religion is the Unification Church. All Christians in the world are destined to be absorbed by our movement.”

Moon is no stranger to the Cook Islands. Some members of parliament and community leaders have been on free trips to Korea on several occasions to attend one Moon's many conferences.

The fact that Moon is so close to so many high-ranking conservative politicians in this country, most (if not all) ostensibly Christians, should set off sirens in the fevered brains of the likes of Robertson, Falwell, Dobson and their ilk. The fact that the so-called religious right is asshole buddies with a con man dedicated to "tearing down the cross" shows where their true allegiance lies.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven — only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day, many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons and do many powerful deeds?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!'" [Matthew 7:21-23]
