A Good Way to Die: The Moonies Who Worship Guns Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Jordan green

Back in the 70s, a religious punchline often included "The Moonies." That's what members of the Unification Cult were called, in reference to their messy messiah Sun Myung Moon. We haven't heard much of them as of late, but they hardly disappeared. Well, Moon died (What? No resurrection?), and now a battle is taking place between Moon's widow and 2 of her sons who are allied against her. And here's the scary part: These whack-jobs have started their own right-wing death cult where the AR-15 is considered a sacramental, used in worship services like Catholics might use a rosary. Sorry to say, this is scary stuff. But it needs to be said. Our guest Jordan Green has done a great job on providing what we need to know about this latest iteration of a Trump inspired dystopia. Let's do what we can to reverse course. Theme music "Nigal."
