Japan government plans to seek court order to dissolve Unification Church

1. I think this is good news. I believe in religious freedom, but I’m sure everyone agrees that cults are bad news and should be dissolved. Unless you’re in a cult…then I’m sure you disagree with me.

   Its also pretty crazy that Abe’s assassin is basically getting to see his wish come true. The unification church will be destroyed in Japan like he wants.

2. By any reasonable measure this “organization” has gone beyond the bounds of what any society should tolerate. Take your BS back to Korea.

3. Wonderful, kick them out feet first.

4. Oh wow I guess assassinating public figures do-

   My lawyer has advised me to not finish this sentence.

5. oooo dissolve them all

6. Dude this blows my mind.

   So if this is true (which we’ll see) that means that the dude whose mother lost all her money to that cult and ruined his life wanted to bring the topic to light by literally murdering the ex PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN by shooting him point blank in the chest in broad daylight with a homemade gun.

   And the end result of his actions is that the government dissolves the cult thus realizing the end result of what the the dude who shot Abe wanted to accomplish in the first place through murder.

   What a world we live in…

7. What a fall from “Grace.”

8. All it takes is to go after one of their own. Makes sense I guess.

9. Just to clarify for those who didn’t read the article:

   “If dissolved, the Unification Church, founded in South Korea in 1954 and formally known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, would lose its status as a religious corporation in Japan and be deprived of tax benefits, although it could still operate as an entity.”

   This just means that the organisation would lose tax benefits. It could still operate. This is a very long way off actually stopping the organisation, and the headline is extremely misleading.
