統一教会問題
安倍元首相の銃撃事件をきっかけに、統一教会と政界との深い繋がりが暴かれてきている。宗教団体が日本国民を食い物にして、そこから得た資金を元手にして政治活動をする等と言うのは、言語道断で憤りを感じるのは筆者だけではないだろう。
関与のあった政治家のインタビューを聞いていると、余り反省の気持ちが感じられない。選挙活動の協力や投票、イベントでの講演等、色々あるが、どんな団体なのかを確かめずに支援を受け入れたというのは、政治家としては未熟と言われても仕方が無いだろう。知っていて利用したり利用された場合は論外である。
日本の政治は選挙により民意を反映させる形になっているが、日本の政界に統一教会が深く関わっていたことを知り、前途に危うさを感じている。
信徒を不幸に陥れる団体を宗教団体として認めることは不当であり、むしろ当該団体は秘密結社と看做すべきだろう。
Unification church problem
In the wake of the shooting incident of former Prime Minister Abe, the deep connection between the Unification Church and the political world has be being exposed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels indignation when a religious group preys on the Japanese people and uses the money from them to carry out political activities.
When I listen to interviews with politicians who were involved, I can't feel much their remorse. There are various things such as cooperation in election campaigns, voting, and lectures at events, and it can't be helped to say that as a politician, it's immature to accept support without confirming what kind of organization it is. It is out of the question that you know it, and use him or you are used.
Japanese politics is designed to reflect the will of the people through elections. Although, Knowing that the Unification Church was deeply involved in Japan's political world, he feels a sense of danger about his future.
It is unfair to recognize a group that causes misfortune to its followers as a religious group, and should rather be regarded as a secret society.
