How about sticking to the OP? We're talking about persecution of religious people in N. Korea. If you wish to rant about Christians, start your own thread.
The last time I checked, two wrongs don't make a right.
"Christianity" is not a person. It is not evil, and has never done evil.

Not gonna play this stupid back and forth game. Your first post implied that it's only terrorism when it's christians, which is designed to make them feel guilty, but it's bs.
you are in effect trying to shame people out of their concern for Christian persecution, for whatever reason.

Also, in NK, Christians (who won't bow to kim il), are sent to gulags, their children are forced to live on the streets! Anyone helping the children can be prosecuted and sent to gulags!
There are reports of children having to eat from dead corpses.
"Christianity" is not a person. It is not evil, and has never done evil. People are evil.
Nothing here that Christians have not done and ,who is to say will not do given the right circumstances ?

If Kim Il just happened to be a Christian whose to say he would not put to death all none believers according to the bibles and not to his whims ?
You seem intent on condemning an entire religion, based upon a few believers who are evil.
If you did that to a race, you would rightfully be called a bigot.
What is your point, If it is to convince people that some human beings do evil, then there is no need to continue. I think most people understand that.
However, your posts go way beyond that, and there is no other conclusion to draw, other than the fact that you are trying to push a special brand of bigotry.
I would suggest that you look in the mirror and ask whether what you are doing would not be considered to be as evil as you claim others are.
Finally, it seems that you fail to understand that two wrongs do not make a right.
That's simple. If he did, he would not be a Christian. He would be going against Christianity, which does not call for the "putting to death" of "non-believers".

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Jesus
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Luk 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luk 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
Luk 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Luk 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Luk 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Luk 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Luk 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Luk 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Luk 19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Luk 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Luk 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Luk 19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
Luk 19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Luk 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
Joshua is talking to the angels, to do that DURING A PARABLE!
Show me Christian teachings which exhort Christians (or anyone else) to KILL, to ROB, to RAPE those not of the Christian faith
But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.

27 would contextually be completely out of place if taken as part of Jesus' narrative.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
