Crown-wearing worshippers of World Peace and Unification Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, United States scared the hell out of people and a school on Wednesday, when they arrived the church, each clutching an AR-15 rifle.

Brides were clad in white and grooms in dark suits, all arriving with dozens of AR-15s, though unloaded.

Inside the church, they drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows in what was called a commitment ceremony, which also doubled as an advertisement for the Second Amendment.

Though the state police kept watch as the ceremony unfolded, neighbours were not at ease.

A smattering of protesters stood outside the church and a nearby school cancelled classes, the AP reported.

The church, which has a worldwide following, believes the AR-15 symbolizes the “rod of iron” in the book of Revelation, and encouraged couples to bring the weapons. An AR-15 was used in the Florida high school massacre on Feb. 14.

The Rev. Sean Moon, who leads the church, prayed for “a kingdom of peace police and peace militia where the citizens, through the right given to them by almighty God to keep and bear arms, will be able to protect one another and protect human flourishing.”

An attendant checked each weapon at the door to make sure it was unloaded and secured with a zip tie, and the elaborate commitment ceremony went off without a hitch. Some worshippers wore crowns made out of bullets.

Tim Elder, Unification Sanctuary’s director of world missions, said the ceremony was meant to be a blessing of couples, not “inanimate objects,” calling the AR-15 a “religious accoutrement.”

But Wednesday’s event, coming on the heels of the high school massacre in Parkland, Florida, which killed 17, rubbed emotions raw.

“It’s scaring people in the community,” one protester told a church member. “Are you aware of that?”

But Sreymom Ouk, 41, who attended the ceremony with her husband, Sort Ouk, and came with their AR-15, said the weapon is useful for defending her family against “sickos and evil psychopaths.”

“People have the right to bear arms, and in God’s kingdom, you have to protect that,” she said. “You have to protect against evil.”(AP)

A rare form of Insanity.

The Rev. Sean Moon, who leads the church, prayed for “a kingdom of peace police and peace militia where the citizens, through the right given to them by almighty God to keep and bear arms, will be able to protect one another and protect human flourishing.”

Praise Omugobe Kabalega

Etituli Kyangire Abemi, he who hates the rebellious
Rukolimbo Nyantalibwa Omugobe,! Rwoota Mahanga!
The Great lion upon the hill who sees all the Sahara
Gracious Lord who always fights with a winning strategy
He who is magnanimous but cruel when provoked.
He who does not wait for battle but attacks the enemy at his fort.
He who never bows and yet causes his enemies to fall
Great father of the palace, giver of peace and comfort
He who provides for his children and educates them
Who feeds their bellies and provides for them nourishment
He who centralizes the state and storing of surplus!
Return always your favor to us!

It should be spiritual but they are taking it to the physical. It's like fire and smoke. When your house is on fire, the fire causes the smoke which kills more often but the logical thing is to tackle the fire.

This is in the U.S, so they are copying me. They are using the same symbolism that I used. They created a fake Black super hero because of the real super hero Sango. This is all because we are rising. Wake up.
