This has been bubbling for months on John Gorenfeld’s website and he’s written about it on Salon and Gadflyer- a Congressman crowned the Rev. Sun Myung Moon king of the universe (or something) on March 23rd of this year. So, as a result, Moon is now by all appearances- your God.

Various Congressmen were in attendance- 81 was the number put out by Moon. Many have since claimed they were mislead and didn’t know they were attending the coronation of a new deity. At least one denied being there, until a photo surfaced of him speaking at the event.

Moon not only got a bunch of powerful Congressmen to crown him the Messiah, but apparently historical figures now are followers as well:

Moon has claimed to have spoken in “the spirit world” with all deceased U.S. presidents, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed and others. At the March 23 event, he said: “The founders of five great religions and many other leaders in the spirit world, including even Communist leaders such as Marx and Lenin . . . and dictators such as Hitler and Stalin, have found strength in my teachings, mended their ways and been reborn as new persons.”

Apparently this story was only reported vaguely by the Washington Times (owned by Moon) on their web site, then the article was “disappeared.” That was more coverage than any other newspaper gave it at the time. Now a Moon associated web site has “disappeared” the coronation video.

This whole thing is wacky-ass, that’s all I’m saying…
