In February 2018, a small church in Pennsylvania gained international attention when they held a blessing ceremony with AR-15’s just two week after the Parkland School shooting triggered mass gun reform debates across the US. But where did this small fringe sect of Christianity come from and why are they now taking up arms for God? In this episode of Believers, host Charlet Duboc meets Pastor Sean Moon and the believers of the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, a church that has origins in Korea, is based in the US, and has been accused of being a cult to understand why they believe they need guns to build God’s Kingdom on Earth.

So if I show up with an AK-74 chambered in 5.45 am I a blasphemer?
haha those people are like drones
GUN IS GOD
This kinda reminds of Far Cry 5
Where are the African Americans and the Latinos in this cult of judges juries and executioners !! Are the crusaders getting ready for an assault on Atheists ,Buddhists or Islamists in the name of Jesus Christ. Most of the Nazi hierarchy were CHRISTIANS and look what their ideology brought to this world !!!
So Stupid, There is No God because why I say that cuz It's never Been proven there is a God…
Cant remember exactly the chapter and verse but im sure i read this “Fuck if the meek will inherent the earth, arm up and take it baby!”
Hate to be this guy but can you imagine how different this story would be if they were Muslim?
naa mate irons spike that we will be used to kill vampires and all evil but ill be the judge of that now who wants to join
Aha, Moon. Makes sense.
When you said "Brainwshed public school educated liberal indroctrinated communist marxists" I thought you were talking bull. Holy shit, you were not.
This reminds me of radical Muslims
The guns as part of their belief system doesn't faze me as much as the arranged marriages do.
That place would have the best fallout loot
sect of Christianity? LMAO
Exhibit 1A of why large-scale gun confiscation is not feasible in the United States. Any attempt to disarm a group like this would require a military operation and end in a massacre; political suicide for whichever party orders it.
Now scale-up to ONE HUNDRED MILLION gun owners: tens of thousands of casualties. It would take a full blown Stalin-esque dictatorship to do it. Not gonna happen in the foreseeable future.
would join
He is not working in the way True Father would have done, this is false to the true Unification Church and not the true teaching of the Devine Principle. He is not my second King or king in fact my only “King” even thought he way not that vain and conceited was his Father “True Father” “Sun myung moon”. He is not teaching the word of GOD through the Divine Principle
8:40 he look like calliou
Хороший документальный фильм. Лучшая церковь и пастор Шон Мун. Они смотрят реально на мир и то что нас окружает. Наверное только заинтересованные и ненормальные осуждают их. Мне очень нравится то что они делают, молодцы! Good documentary. The best church and pastor Sean Moon. They really look at the world and what surrounds us.
It seems that they are condemned only by those who are interested in this or abnormal.
I really like what they do, well done!
Pretty much proof that you can make the scriptures say anything you want. Didnt jesus say the kingdom of heaven was inside us? Guess they conveniently forgot that part…why are there so many religious lunatics in the world?
Everytime you think stupidity has reached its limit, some Americans show up and prove you wrong…
America is one big joke.
surprising, that a VICE piece wasn't wholly anti-gun and blatant hitpiece. leaves it more of a 'question,' even though VICE's hoplophobia is no secret for those familiar with political leanings of regime and State Dipshitment mouthpiece that's become of VICE the multi-billion dollar den of presstitutes that's anything but 'anti-establishment' who's co-owned by Murdoch/Hearst/A&E/History, Disney, Bill Maher/HBO/Time-Warner: your basic corporatist terrorist propagandist asshole legion.
Explain to me how this is any crazier than Christianity.
WWII and the Korean War helps to explain this – Christian obsession, fear and awe of weapons…coupled with gullible people equals this madness
This is the most IRRESPONSIBLE thing I’ve ever seen
“America is a Fucked country” end of story
LOL WAT THE FUK IS THIS
Far CRY 5 irl😂😂😅
sect, not cult. still though. interesting.
Retards cone in all types. Lol
And god does not like guns, there are different was besides guns, like look at Jehovah witness
Church is a about no guns, no hate, no war. A place to worship god, not a gun
Wow! What a bunch of sick people. Red flag those degenerates.
I feel like it is a bit odd but i love guns. ARs all of the way
I like it.
And then Americans wonder why the rest of the world laughs at them!
But… "You are a crazy dude".
Sean would be kinda cute if he weren’t such an absolute psychopath.
More quality videos from VICE! Keep up the good work!
It’s just another South Korean cult…
Is this a game trailer?
What did i just watch? This is crazy.
I like this church. I trust in God and Pastor Sean Moon. I am from Russia.
wow. by the books cult
I think the most horrifying part of this is how unsurprising it is to see.
"Father son and the holy spirit: those are obviously the people who finance the house." 😂😂😂 fantastic Charlet
