They didn't have a single solid soy product in the whole section. The part of the aisle labeled "soy" was mainly full of almond milk for some reason.

Maybe they had to liquidate their stock real fast. It's almondst as though they're up to something shady, but I guess I'm starting to sound like a nutter.

Maybe you should leaf the vegetarian lifestyle alone. Or, at least, the hippy aisle. Stuff'll probably kale you sooner or later.

Oh good, Youtube ads think I'm Spanish again.

No idea why, beyond using Duolingo a bit almost a year ago... to learn Spanish?
I want to trust in our algorithm overlords, someday, but not yet.  Someday, though.

Maybe that particular ad was just offering an inordinately large bounty to get shown to anyone who MIGHT know Spanish. Business is odd sometimes.

Verily I say unto you, the era of the sword and axe is nigh, the era of the wolf's blizzard. The Time of the White Chill and the White Light is nigh, the Time of Madness and the Time of Contempt: Tedd Deireádh, the Time of End. The world will die amidst frost and be reborn with the new sun

What was the ratio of cheesecake to not cheesecake in this gigantic menu? If it was mostly cheesecake, then that sounds reasonable. Cheesecake is pretty versatile.

Two pages of cheesecakes, nineteen pages on not cheesecakes.

I don't know what even.

I knew we had gun issues stateside, but this is an issue of biblical proportions.

I suggest interpreting most scripture as being veiled references to automatic firearms. More fun that way

They’re just trying to emulate Battle Pope

My first WTF was why these people are wearing crowns. But then it got weirder.

Alright, let's comment on this whole thing, shall we? After all, I got some time to kill before I go to work.

The church's name is World Peace and Unification Sanctuary. You'd think a proclaimed pacifist would shy away from weapons, but they seem to be the "Peace Through Superior Firepower" sorts. The ceremony's name is... "Cosmic True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humanity Cheon Il Guk Book of Life Registration Blessing". I just... don't even. (They'll be having a 'President Trump Thank You Dinner' later this week.)

Apparently this sect was founded by a Korean-American self-proclaimed messiah (now deceased), so that's a good and reasonable start. This particular church is led by his son, though, who has been declared a heretic (so it's like, double heresy) for his obsession with "Iron Rods", which obviously represent Firearms (and, according to them, they have a sacred right to bear arms as decreed by YHWH in His Holy Constitution And Amendments).

They are also into Apocrypha, specifically Revelations, which is where the whole crown and rod thing comes from.

he shall rule them with a rod of iron.

These great "rods of iron" (Specifically AR-15s, it seems), are needed to allow people to protect themselves against "sickos and evil psychopaths". This is totally the reason why Reverend Moon is telling people to carry guns around and certainly not because his brother owns a gun factory. No sir, totally to protect God's Kingdom.

... I wonder if these people think Trump (or whatever the current US president might be at any given time) is YHWH's Viceroy or something of the sort.

I saw an article on BBC with a bunch of photos on it, including crowns made of freaking bullets.

It also screams of idol worship, you know, the very kind of thing that Moses warned against and God smited people for. I don't mean celebrity fanship, I mean literal idol worship, they even freaking baptize the guns.

No idea if similar kinds of gun worshipping churches exist elsewhere, but the fact that exists really shows something wrong.

It's probably worth clarifying that this isn't just a "normal" church, but a branch of an actual cult (often called the Moonies) who believe that the original Rev. Moon was Jesus. The normal idol-worship rules cannot be assumed to apply.

I figured that out already when I saw that they were derisively called moonies and that someone named Moon was a reverend of, even the picture of the golden gun convinced me that was no normal church.

This the same Moons that was caught being the real decision maker behind the president of Korea/that the Korean president was caught being part of last year?
