So you want to go to heaven
Thinking Well you should visit and live in North Korea for a bit because that is how heaven is like.

Sure, whatever.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

So you're saying that God has a funny haircut and is addicted to cheese?

Think about it though.. god of the bible is a tyrant and a dictator.
It would only make sense to do the comparison.

RE: So you want to go to heaven
One of the things I worry about is that heaven is not going to be happy fun times. It will be just about worshiping Yahweh, and he's going to screw with our minds so that this is all we'll want to do. Removing free will is the only way thei system will work, unless he's kicking people out of heaven all the time for dissent. Can you imagine still having free will in heaven? You'd be stressed out all the time because eventually you're going to screw up and be kicked out.

Sounds like bullshit to me, I don't want to go there. I'd rather be annihilated.

I agree that it is a good comparison.

Quote:The North Korean government exercises control over many aspects of the nation's culture, and this control is used to perpetuate a cult of personality surrounding Kim Il-sung,[92] and, to a lesser extent, Kim Jong-il.[93] While visiting North Korea in 1979, journalist Bradley Martin noted that nearly all music, art, and sculpture that he observed glorified "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung, whose personality cult was then being extended to his son, "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il.[94] Bradley Martin also reported that there is even widespread belief that Kim Il-sung "created the world", and Kim Jong-il could "control the weather".[94

Oh they won't kick you out of heaven. They will simply reeducate you Smile

Quote:The Ministry of People's Security (MPS) maintains most law enforcement activities. It is one of the most powerful state institutions in North Korea and oversees the national police force, investigates criminal cases and manages non-political correctional facilities.[113] It also handles other aspects of domestic security like civil registration, traffic control, fire departments and railroad security.[114] The State Security Department was separated from the MPS in 1973 to conduct domestic and foreign intelligence, counterintelligence and manage the political prison system. Political camps can be short-term reeducation zones or "total control zones" for lifetime detention.[115] Camp 14 in Kaechon,[116] Camp 15 in Yodok[117] and Camp 18 in Bukchang[118] are described in detailed testimonies.[119]

The security apparatus is very extensive,[120] exerting strict control over residence, travel, employment, clothing, food and family life.[121] Security establishments tightly monitor cellular and digital communications. The MPS, State Security and the Police allegedly conduct real-time monitoring of text messages, online data transfer, monitor phone calls and automatically transcribe recorded conversations. They reportedly have the capacity to triangulate a subscriber's exact location, while military intelligence monitors phone and radio traffic as far as 140 kilometers south of the Demilitarized zone.[122] Mass surveillance is carried out through a system which includes 100,000 CCTV cameras, many of which are installed at the border with China.[123]
