Dressed in a floor-length cape, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was dubbed the king of peace at a coronation ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building attended by several members of Congress.
Moon is the founder of the Unification Church – currently known as The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.
According to columnist Bill Berkowitz, on March 23 Moon presided over the event during which he presented the "Crown of Peace" award to a number of honored guests.
Several U.S. members of Congress – Democrats Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota, Rep. Danny K. Davis of Illinois, Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr. of Georgia; Republicans Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett of Maryland, Rep. Christopher B. Cannon of Utah, and Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania – received "Ambassadors for Peace" awards, Berkowitz wrote. There were reportedly 81 members of Congress total at the event.
"Decked-out in a campy floor-length cape, the Rev. Moon was presented with an ornate gold crown and a lifetime achievement award," wrote the columnist. "Introduced by a shofar-blowing rabbi, the reverend told the star-studded audience … that a 'new era' had come: 'Open your hearts and receive the secrets that heaven is disclosing in this age through me.'"

When did you decide that? I would love it to turn out to be a hoax....
I remember reading that on another thread.
UNBELIEVABLE!
Well, he seems to have escaped the owl that showed up for Herod Agrippa. Would a spotted owl have shown up were Gore to try the same?
Ah, well that could explain a lot of it. They got suckered into attending, (except for Davis) by an offer to be given an award, then didn't even know what Moon said!
His speech was transcribed on his website, until he took it down this morning.
What's with this article getting moved to chat? It's a legitimate article from a source which is generally respected on FR.
Davis is focused on, because he is the one who actually placed the crown on Moon's head!
Just another Anti-christ claiming to be from God..
Jesus said the same way they saw him go up into clouds of glory would be same way he would come back!!
The Bible also says "If they say Jesus is in desert or here or there, do not believe them".
The Illuminati took out 7 or 8 full page major newspaper ads in 1981 (another scripture fulfilled) claiming that Jesus was in the desert and he would reveal himself soon....maybe that was Moonie pie, just another flake wanting followers.
LOL! No kidding!
Well, I don't necessarily buy into the whole illuminati thing BUT one thing is for sure. When our Lord returns it will be in the air and all the world will see him.
I was just reiterating what I had read from a week or so ago. I'm taking it from yours and other posts that this maniacal crap could be true?
It would seem that the ACLU allowed it, since they have done nothing about it.
The illuminati is real, but they are liars for sure.
You know, I bought the "Illuminati"--it is a work of FICTION, written by one of my favorite people: Larry Burkett
I didn't know it was moved....I thought the story was legitimate news as well. I believe the electorate would like to know what their elected officials are doing on tax payer supported property.
Congressmen crown a "savior and Messiah" on public property, and it is moved to chat, and placed under the topic, "ufo's".....
While Chelsea Clinton's face is discussed in "News"???
What anti-Semitic comments?
Do you read the Washington Times? I'm not arguing, just wondering.
