Thoughts on Sun Myung Moon

Do you really think that God would like someone to dress up like king Moon and queen mrs. Moon, with mighty crowns and gowns and gold and glitter and pump? God regretted Israel's desire to have a king Saul like the pagan countries had. Jesus walked the earth looking more like a vagabond than a king. Do you really think God would wish such external signs of power for a person?
There is the contradiction between what Moon often said, that his followers had failed and that he proclaimed himself higher and higher in the universe. Wouldn't his success have to be the accomplishment of having brought his followers to fulfillment? He has a word to explain this contradiction: Indemnity. What a magical word! What would that have to mean?
Rev. Moon has said that he respects and studied the lives of evil powerful men, to learn from their methods. However, it is wrong to believe that the methods applied by evil subjects could equally be used for spreading goodness. The main problem of evil subjects is that they embark on the freedom of individuals. For God, nothing is more essential than that each person grows in complete freedom.
Rev. Moon explained in some of his speeches that he practiced long in front of a mirror to learn to show a pleasant and amicable smile. Smiles sell great!
The original task of Moon was to find out in which way Christianity had developed wrong ideas about the life and mission of Jesus. Moon realized that Jesus was not supposed to have been crucified. Moon's church was founded with the name the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. The mission of this association was to live in the Holy Spirit from which the religion of Christianity had disconnected. If one now looks at what is in and around Moon's movement, we see that they embraced many Christian ministers and traditions, but also are most vigorously opposed by other Christians. This demonstrates the failure of the church to have unified Christianity. The Unification Church became just another Christian denomination.
Who does more for peace, someone who states peace at conferences or the unknown individual who fights against evil in himself and around him?
