I don't get how such a big Christian and icon-kisser like Putin can go into North Korea where the Bible and praying is forbidden? Not to mention his pact with the NK - I mean what will the patriarchs in Moscow say on that?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Kim Jong Il decided to construct an Orthodox Church in Pyongyang in 2002. He sent students to seminaries in Russia to learn how to run it. 

You'll be happy to know that it isn't very popular.

Ah, so that's the Russian excuse then for cooperating with the regime that classifies Christians as hostile. Interesting.
