Speech 24: Propaganda Hyo Jin Moon October 1, 2006 Belvedere Be Seated How are you doing?

Good to see you.

Today's topic is Propaganda.

Is it necessary? Propaganda has been around ever since people started to group together.

Leaders and kings have abused it throughout history including for the sake of organized religion; it's very useful for them. Also it's necessary at the same time as something they need to promote their faith.

Pretty much that is the pattern of what we know today, and what we see all the time on television. You can see infomercials and commercials. The need comes because we do need to propagate the message, whether it's to sell cereal or a message from God. Having said that, the first thing we have to think about is how we go about applying the concept of propaganda for commercialization to the purpose of propagating the faith.

There are many countries in the world, first of all, right? Every country has a distinction that they try to put forth. They do that based on their law and on the unique way they proscribe and actually implement the law. The way that they accept that is how they are as a nation.

When you talk about law you have to go to the beginning and ask God "Did You need law?"

Did God need law when he was by Himself? He was almighty. So going back to the precreation period when God was still God. He was almighty and omnipotent and omnipresent, you have to ask Him, Did You need law?" I'm sure that He didn't.

Why would you need law when you're by yourself, especially when you're almighty, omnipotent and omnipresent? Was it necessary? So I guess the answer can only be that in the purpose of creation as we know it and explain it, the law exists because I want an object.

The law exists for the sake of the object, not for one's self.
