The New Road

Rev. Sun Myung Moon

This Salon article on Rev. Sun Myung Moon is great. In case you hadn't heard he coronated himself recently. Actually I think a Democratic Congressman actually did the deed. Though he is a dear friend to both sides of the aisle. Most likely because he has a lot of money.

Some great Moon quotes and references from the article:

gays are "dung-eating dogs,"

the U.S. Constitution should be scrapped in favor of a system he calls "Godism" -- with him in charge

To teach teens that "free sex" is revolting, they're asked by Moon's followers to drink other people's spit out of a cup, and then consider how much more vigilant you must be when sharing other body fluids.

In a 1994 speech, he asked: "Do you like the smell of your husband's semen? Answer to Father. Does it smell good or bad? You may not like the smell of your wife's stool, but do you smell your own? Why don't you smell your own but you smell your wife's? Because you are not totally one."

Wrote his daughter-in-law, Nansook Hong, in her tell-all book: "Sun Myung Moon seemed to take pleasure in the reports that filtered back to East Garden of the beatings being administered by the Black Heung Jin. He would laugh raucously if someone out of favor had been dealt an especially hard blow."

The article is great. Definitely worth the read.
