A
moonie is a member of the
Unification Church started and headed by Korean
industrialist Yong Myung Moon b. 1920, who changed his name to
Sun Myung Moon. The
Church began in 1954 around the idea that
Sun, often referred to as
The Reverend Moon, was to follow in the steps of
Jesus and bring the world together in a
perfect family. The guy thinks he is the
messiah.
One of the main teachings that Moonies must follow is the The Divine Principle which is a hodge-podge of twisted Old Testament/Christianity (Moonies feel Jesus and the Israelites failed God and so God looked to Korea for the New Jerusalem) and a bunch of numerology.
The moonies are secretive and rich. They own the Washington Times. The have a few hundred thousand followers worldwide and openly plan to take over the world and have it run by Moon the Christ Child. Everyone will have to learn Korean, that is part of it too.
