For those who think Marxism and all it's derivatives, such as Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory, are just non-threatening alternative worldviews to Western Liberal Civilization: https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/...g-monsters-murderers-and-spies-to-deter-faith "It's no secret the North Korean regime has no tolerance for religion, but a recent report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) details how the Workers Party of Korea led by Kim Jong Un targets and tortures Christians and other people of faith while going to great lengths to conceal its crimes. The report spells out the acts of terror committed by the regime "designed to remove all traces of Christianity" and reveals "the campaign to exterminate all Christian adherents and institutions...has been brutally effective." North Korea's secret police, the Ministry of State Security, are incentivized with promotions when they apprehend Christians and other believers. "Those charged with Christianity often face execution or are forced to live out the rest of their lives in political prison camps," testified Inje Hwang, an investigator with Korea Future Initiative, during a webinar hosted by USCIRF."
Now the Trump - Kim Jong Il steamy love affair makes perfect sense. Trump’s spiritual guide is a creepy demonic woman who jumps around the room like a posessed lunatic talking gibberish calling upon demons to reverse the election results..Thank you for putting this into perspective.
This isn't just an isolated craziness peculiar to North Korea. Both the Soviet Union and Communist China did similar things. (albeit of course not quite so extreme as North Korea) Though not as bad as it was in the 80s, even today the persecution in China is continuing and the Party seems to be trying to create a clampdown on religion with direct control over the churches and even what is taught. Some might ask why this animosity to religion exists. Part of the reason may be the totalitarian nature of Communism, that wants to control all aspects of society, especially anything that could have any power. Since the government and its leader is almost worshipped in a religious manner, they want to eliminate anything that might draw people's reverence and allegiance away. In a way it's the same reason Jesus was crucified: jealousy.
