North Koreans use the tool of science too, to make their nuclear weapons.
Consciousness is a product of evolution, and Kim Jong Un is conscious too.
Our species is not a magical thing manufactured or invented by a God or gods. Our species has ALWAYS had the capability of doing BOTH good and bad, and none of it needs superstition to explain or a god to explain.
Why is it I hate Kim Jong Un and the Imams running Iran? Why is it I hate Stalin and the churches of the Dark Ages as well?
Because my morality is part of OUR evolution that favors compassion, whereas dictatorships be they state or theocracies BOTH are appeal to authority.
Your God concept as a character is an appeal to authority, just like a dictator. Good to you as long as you kiss his ass but will beat the shit out of you if you step out of line.
Was your god voted into office? Can we vote him out of office? Can we change his laws if we don't like them? Can we impeach him?
You worship a character, a fictional character, one that reflects the feudal kingships of those who concocted the myths of Abraham. There is no such thing as a "kind" dictator.
