oake: POLITICAL RELIGION And perhaps, is it not possible that it is the "totalitarian" nature of North Korea's government that is the cause of the country "doing so bad economically and otherwise" and not atheism as the OP so claimed? That means we have to blame corruption in Nigeria as the major cause of our problems not religion right ? 1 Like |

Jesuschrist419: Kim is not a god of North Korea , there is no where in their constitution or in the Juche Ideology that refers to Kim or his ancestors as deities . I can see no atheist here understands what a cult of personality is , but its okay very little or nothing reasonable at all is expected from you guys 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: Stop being so banally literalist. The Kim family are worshipped as gods. They are involved in mythology (it is alleged that Kim Jong-il was born on Mount Paektu at his father's secret base in 1942 (his actual birth was in 1941 in the Soviet Union) and that his birth was heralded by a swallow, caused winter to change to spring, a star to illuminate the sky, and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared.[56] - Wikipedia) There is no room for secular logic or criticism that breaches party line. The argument here is not that where or not the craziness in North Korea is a deific religion, but that claiming that North Korea is the result of an "Atheist Dark Age" is complete fallacy because North Korea's state control and cult function identically to the most conservative of religious states. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: "The Christian argument isn't about intelligent design, objective morality or the existence of God. It's about love for slavery, submissiveness, dementia, docility, retardation, stupidity, imbecility, bondage, psychological torture and sadomasochism." I can play this game better than you, dolt.

BlauGully: Worshiped like gods not as gods . Atheists have troubles understanding English eh . The quasi-worshipful adoration is due to god-like perception that has been created for the authority figure or political leader . They are not deities , they are not gods to North Koreans , but they are venerated or worshiped like one Same thing was done to Stalin and Hitler in the past and we know them as atheists not gods . In fact , its a common phenomenon for leaders of totalitarian governments . 1 Like

BlauGully: I can see that atheists enjoy taking credits for what the deists did . The credits for Religious skepticism , Age of Enlightenment , French Revolution are meant for the deists mostly not atheists . Atheism does not reject religion , arouse skepticism/religious skepticism or question religious authority . Religious skeptics were mostly deists since religious skepticism is an integral part of deism as a philosophical position . The Islamic Golden Age (many Islamic scientists, poets and mathematicians were atheists, with many more taking an extremely critical take on the Quran, such as with the Mutazliah school Wow . Only very few of them . Most of the critics of Islam never identified as atheists .Some wrote heretical books about Islam just like early Christianity faced heresies like Arianism , Luciferianism etc . Those who were indeed Muslim and authors of heretical books were often seen as critics of Islam because their views were grossly unorthodox . Its very possible that other critics of Islam were Christian converts or were adherents of pagan religions that were practiced by non-Muslim communities in the Arab world . An adherent of another religion can be a critic of another religion . 1 Like 1 Share |

BlauGully: And I just discovered the Mu'tazilites or adherents of the Mu'tazili school were Islamic theologians who tried to take a rational view of the problem of evil - they tried to reconcile the justice of an all-powerful God with the reality of evil in the world. This is congruous with my post which precedes this one . Critics of Islam who were mathematicians , scientists , poets were mostly Muslims themselves , Christian coverts and adherents of pagan religions in non-Muslim communities in the Arab world not atheists .

KingEbukasBlog: The theory of political religion concerns governmental ideologies whose cultural and political backing is so strong that they are said to attain power equivalent to those of a state religion, with which they often exhibit significant similarities in both theory and PRACTICE. So, what differentiates it from a religion? KingEbukasBlog: I will get your point if you tell me that "totalitarianism" is synonymous to "corruption". |

KingEbukasBlog: Do you think thinly vailed ad hominem makes you sound like more of an authority or something? You just come off as arrogant. And If you had any reading comprehension skills whatsoever, you'd realise that I had mentioned the Mutazilah in ADDITION to atheists - I never claimed that they themselves were atheists, just that they took skeptical views on the Quran (And it's believed that numerous atheists in the Islamic world LIED that they were muslims of schools like Mutazilites to avoid persecution by governments - with good reason; the late Umayyad had a succession of leaders who brutally persecuted atheists and Mutazilis alike). Any more reading comprehension skills than that and you'd have remembered that my comment was that Atheism bloomed in historical periods credited with scientific and academic proficiency, NOT that it was the cause ("deism" wasn't either) of said periods. A tiny bit more comprendé and you'd realise that arguing whether Atheists or deists had more influence over major social revolutions is not the focus of the subject topic. The opening post posits the childish fallacy that the North Korean cult state, for all it's social control and mythology, pushes Atheism, therefore atheism = tyranny. It's quite clear that you would rather shriek about the fact that Voltaire exists and how much you hate the idea that there is no creator being, while avoiding the travesty that is the opening topic. Cherry picking saves face, after all. Also, god doesn't fucking exist. 1 Like |

Beware of the Discoverers of the River Niger OLAADEGBU:It is not true that North Korea is an atheist nation, nor did its leaders attempt to make it so. Neither is reason the leading ideology of North Korea. North Korea constantly feeds its people an opiate and the leading ideology is the Kim family. In a way, North Korea became one big religious nation – but it also became a grave full of lies. That’s because North Korean propaganda is like its own religion. The propaganda suggests that immortality is possible through its endorsement of Kim Il-sung’s ideology. The propaganda says that while your body will perish after death, the political life is immortal. Such beliefs made Kim Il-sung the only God in North Korea — and a belief system that would sometimes demand people’s lives. So while North Korea refuted Marxist materialism – its official ideology made Kim Il-sung a God – and in a way, it left its people to be captivated by folk religion. Guardian |

KingEbukasBlog:Humpty Dumptyism ‘I don’t know what you mean by “glory,”’ Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ‘Of course you don’t — till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”’ ‘But “glory” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument,”’ Alice objected. ‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ ‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.’ Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll |

KingEbukasBlog: What are you even arguing about at this point? "Atheist nations"? By that, do you mean nations with a lot of atheists or somewhere like the Soviet Union? There are overwhelming historical archives on atheists in the ancient world who had to censor their beliefs on pain of death or persecution, and I don't think the switcharound is going to be that great of an argument against atheism, considering the overwhelming majority of countries with open atheists are secular democratic countries, Vietnam and China being exceptions to the rule. KingEbukasBlog: Quit with the weasel words. Oxford Dictionary: God
You don't get to define what "god" is and is not in the English language. There is NO supreme being or creator of the universe and there is absolutely NO evidence or modern reasoning to support this assertation. 1 Like |
