Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher Hitchens sub-titled his last book, "How Religion Poisons Everything". This astonishingly naive claim now has an official echo, from an Atheist tyrant and mass murder, Kim Jong Un.

From the Christian Post:

The North Korean government has been hitting back against international criticism by accusing the U.S. of rampant human rights abuses and claiming that Christian missionaries are responsible for human trafficking and even terrorism in its country.

"The significance of North Korea's comments cannot be overstated. North Korea is choosing to publicly blame Christian missionaries for its human rights problems and internal difficulties," said the Rev. Eric Foley of Seoul USA, a US/Korean NGO that operates a number of discipleship bases reaching North Koreans across Asia.

Foley's comments are in response to those made by So Se Pyong, North Korea's ambassador in a debate before the Council in Geneva, where he stated: "There are in the northeastern area of China so-called churches and priests exclusively engaged in hostile acts against the DPRK. They indoctrinate the illegal border crossers with anti-DPRK ideology and send them back to the DPRK with assignments of subversion, destruction, human trafficking and even terrorist acts."

The comments follow an official report released by Kim Jong Un's government last week, which called the U.S. a "living hell" where "elementary rights to existence are ruthlessly violated."

"Such poor human right records in the U.S. are an inevitable product of the ruling quarters' policy against humanity," the report continued.

"Its chief executive, Obama, indulges himself in luxury almost every day, squandering hundred millions of dollars on his foreign trip in disregard of his people's wretched life."
