North Koreas concentration camps

We've gone very far off topic.

So no one else thinks it's strange that TV and politicians don't spend more time condemning the multiple concentration camps in North Korea ?

They do, but what more do you want?

You want to invade North Korea, who's citizens are brainwashed and are told to expect a US invasion?

Why not write to your member of congress/senate/parliament/etc instead of posting on an internet forum? (that's what I do).

I've been disturbed by the lack of humanity I've experienced over this issue. If any news station even suspected ONE American tourist was in one of these camps it'd be wall to wall coverage - a never ending gore fest over the horror that is N. Korea.

Yes, because then it would be our business.

Yes,
There is nothing we can do aside from an invasion, probably, But, we can pray for them and give a little to organizations who risk their lives to help these people!
Let's remember that all of these conditions are a direct result of atheism, it always leads down the same path.

Here's something about China

Again, this has nothing to do with it.

I really have no idea what you are getting at.

Who cares about that? What does that have to do with the subject at hand?

Tell it to Torquemada.

...Exasperated...
Why do you think so many christians and free-thinkers go to those gulags??

Christians won't go along with evil tyrants.

Christians won't go along with the right evil tyrants. They go along with some willingly and enthusiastically.

Why Kim Jong Il is imprisoning them - presuming he is, or that there are Christians to imprison - would be for the same reason he imprisons Buddhists: They have a loyalty to a person, organization, or entity that isn't him.

Point: There has never been a Christian-organized revolt or demonstration in North Korea. So if Christians DO exist, they go along with that particular tyrant, if only by their silence.

Torquemada
obviously didn't love God!
He loved his 'Holy' church and Power!
Do you know how many lovers of Jeshua burned at the stake andwere pulled apart by the rack, for going against that establishment?
I am protestant.
Although even the state run protestantism of John Knox(I believe)ran aground and messed up.
But that is not the 'norm' of christian leaders.

Come on,......
they have NO rights according to that leader. No guns.
And killing people in an overthrow isn't always what the lord would have us do.

Tell it to the Christians, circa 100-500 CE. They did it all the time.

And they faced down Roman emperors and died for it. Are you saying that the will of God has changed?

Shall I dig up some quotes by Swaggart, Falwell, or Robertson?

Are you talking about when constantine came to power and the state religion caused a power struggle?

Yep. Talking about the period before then as well, when the early Christians faced people who made Kim look like Mister Rogers.

reply to post by The Good Reverend Roger

Such as Nero, and Antiochus Apiphenes(sp)?

Are you saying that the christians took up arms prior to constantine, because I don't think I've heard of that.
It goes against Jesus' teachings of turn the other cheek.
