Religious rants

Can't compare North Korea to the rest of the world they're under a strict dictatorship over there and if they detract from any of the rulers beliefs they're jailed or killed this would've happened regardless of the religion since they are a strict atheist state

I mean... I could pray to the stars and be jailed or put to death, there. It ain't just a thing of "no christians allowed". It's "no opinion other than what the state gives is allowed".

I will do you a favor then "While a small number of officially registered religious institutions exist in North Korea, including churches, they operate under strict state control and function largely as showpieces for foreign tourists, officials say."

Shamanism also has been attacked there but there is a sentence in the article that states Christians have been tortured the worst made to stand sometimes up to 40 days to the point they can no longer sit. Also starved and beaten.

Yet again another quote for you "that authorities subjected Christians to the harshest treatment and that authorities once forced them to stand for 40 days straight, causing inmates to lose the ability to sit down. Christians are regarded as on the lowest rung of North Korean society and are constantly “vulnerable and in danger,” according to the report."

The thing is this doesnt just happen in North korea it happens in i believe china as well along side the Uighurs. I can do a deep dive on the many countries this happens but then you will shift goal posts. Like "yeah but but but christianity biggest religion its bound to happen" biggest religion yet most oppressed? Or are we gonna throw per capita around again?

Here's a quote from the source that article cited since they always leave out these kinds of things to push a narrative "COVID-19 restrictions on travel to and from the country further reduced information about conditions, making details on cases of abuse and estimates involving religious groups difficult to verify." As well as "In an October 2021 report, the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Korea Future described the government’s denial of religious freedom as absolute and cited multiple incidents of arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and inhuman treatment, and executions of persons because of their religious belief. Officials principally targeted Christians and followers of Shamanism. Of the 244 victims documented in the report, 150 adhered to Shamanism, 91 adhered to Christianity, one to Cheondoism, and one to other beliefs." Showing that the majority who were punished for religion weren't even Christian

150 of the 244 victims documented in the report. As in what was documented not how many actually got persecuted it also stated in the same quote it made it difficult to verify. So....
