"With the Cold War long over, Moon’s purposes are no longer necessarily compatible with the aims of American conservatives or the United States government. If his newspaper promotes a hard line toward North Korea, the would-be messiah and his commercialized church have pursued a very different policy -- and they have done so from within the newspaper itself. Given Moon’s propensity for what many ex-disciples have called “heavenly deception,” the doctrine that God must fight Satan’s deception with righteous lies, the paper’s editorial policy may merely serve as a diversion from his self-serving ties with North Korea."

"This country desperately needs a God-centered president, senators and congressmen. America's intellectual establishment is liberal, godless, secular, humanistic, and anti-religious. We are declaring war against three main enemies: godless communism, Christ-less American liberalism, and secular-humanistic morality. They are the enemies of God, the True Parents, the Unification Church, all of Christianity, and all religions. We are working to mobilize a united front against them."

-Rev. Sun Myung Moon, August 29, 1985 {via}
