US Group Says North Korea Suppresses Religious Freedom

"... all forms of religious belief are suppressed in North Korea. The only exception is North Korea's official ideology, known as "Juche." It is based on the personality cult of the regime's current leader, Kim Jong Il, and his late father, Kim Il Sung.

The current religious composition is uncertain.

"Anyone found with a Bible may be shot. It is estimated that 400 Christians were executed in 1999 alone."


Are you still under the illusion that N.Korea can be a "New Plymouth Rock" for intelligent design adherents fleeing persecution in the U.S.A?
I don't see how Christians can reconcile "Juche" with their spiritual beliefs.

1. How large is the Christian population in the DPRK?
There are more than 10,000 Protestants and about 5,000 Catholics in our country, ranging in age from 30 to 60. In north Korea, Protestantism is called Kiddokkyo and Catholicism Chonjugyo.

3. How do north Korean Christians celebrate their holy days such as Christmas and Easter?
Nothing is different from what other Protestants do in their countries. We minister the Holy Communion service and offer a prayer on holy days such as Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day and Children's Day.

4. Do you do missionary work actively in homes?
Yes. But we always conduct missionary activities in keeping with the actual situation of our country. Our missionary work is mainly focused on individuals such as by house-to-house visits. Some missionary associations are playing a leading role in our evangelical work including the Missionary Association of Korean Women.

5. Where do people study theology?
People can study theology at Pyongyang Divinity School established in 1972. The school enrolls only ten students at a time in every three years, where they learn the Old Testament, the New Testament, pastoral theology, historical theology, a history of Christianity in Korea and other theological studies. A total of 35 graduates of the school took holy orders.

6. Is it easy to get a Bible in north Korea?
Of course. In our country, freedom of worship is guaranteed under the Constitution. More than 50,000 copies of the Bible have been printed in our country, translated into Korean by members of our federation.

7. What is the main work of the Korean Christian Federation?
The most important task of the federation is to lead Korean Christians to work for the construction and reunification of our country. In order to promote the reunification, we maintain close relations with many organizations including the World Council of Churches and Christian associations in foreign countries to ensure their support for the peaceful reunification of the Korea Peninsula. As the solidarity of the whole nation is the only way to realize a lasting peace in our country, Christians in north and south Korea and overseas should be united first.

Are you seriously defending N. Korea?

I need to look at your last posts, because methinks you are a trollin'.

[Gunslinger]

Yep, you are terrible.

But, at least I get labled with liberals on this board who call out other radicals unlike that Dio fuck who keeps posting, instead of getting a real job to support his welfare bitch ass.

Martyr is terrible also with his hatred for jews, but come on now. Supporting North Korea, that has got to be garbage in any language.

But suppose for an instant, that one country were to lie about the nature of another in order to make a hostile act seem justifiable?
