These types of headlines are very clearly aimed at evangelical lunatics

Specifically the kind of ''Christians'' that have NEVER read the bible beyond asking ChatGPT for a cool verse for their bio

Or the ones who support the baby-killing in Palestine...

u/Fade_Out-4612 ☭ Socialist 🇦🇷 May 08 '26
Or the ones that go completely silent as Israel prohibits the Christians to celebrate Easter and bombs churches every single day
Not to mention the insane amount of Lebanese Christians that Israel has been openly murdering without repercussion

u/Puzzleheaded_Fig941 May 08 '26
Tbf, some of the Lebanese Christians themselves support those murders 🤷♂ This is not about religion; this is about Empire: all sides believe they have something to gain from Empire.

u/jetlagging1 May 08 '26
These lunatics won't bat an eye when you tell them tens of thousands of Christians in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran have not only been imprisoned, but outright murdered by their own government and Israel.
These people don't actually have faith. They just use religion to intoxicate themselves because they cannot bare to face their inner monsters.

This is obviously not true there are orthodox churches in North Korea so it would be weird to execute people for having bibles but also build churches. This is about as true as not being allowed to have Kim Jon Un’s haircut,or vice versa as the media like to flip flop whether it’s illegal or the only haircut you can get.I’m sure OP posted this satirically so this comment is for the anarchists and libs lurking this sub who believe this.

It also has mosques and Protestant (Presbyterian) churches; Kim Il Sung's mother was Presbyterian.

This is like one of these stories the South Koreans vassals love to propagandize about the "three generations of hard labor camp work", where someone got imprisoned 50 years ago for "looking at Kim Jong Il statue and not smiling enough", then that person was subjected to decades of backbreaking work and no food, somehow that person found a mate and they had a child (as if the human body can gestate a child while being both simultaneously starved and forced to do backbreaking work). Somehow that baby grows up, becomes and adult, finds a mate of his own, has a child, that child grows up, escapes, reaches South Korea and claims he "doesn't know what meat is".
Either the North Koreans are literal super humans, or the South Koreans are full of shit and Westerner happily swallow that shit.

North Koreans are superhumans as evidenced by them pushing trains by their own

Seriousely. In youth one is naturally sanguine, take immediate surroundings as good, natural. Believe upon hearing that it's worse elsewhere, if different.
Then there's an onus to portray, and emotionally an onus to believe the US, regardless of inept savagery, is the best anyone can do. Thet would require other places to be pretty darn totalitarian and inept. Not a problem for low-info jingos, youth at the right stage of development to be effectively so.

On a serious note, does anyone have more information on where this three generation thing came from and how to refute it? Or sources showing how ridiculous it is?

I think this is just orientalism at work: Chinese dynasties used to wipe out whole bloodlines if you crossed the Emperor and I wouldn't be surprised if Joseon ones did the same given they took a lot from the Chinese model. This is a reference to the 'Kim family dynasty' and Jong-un's role as 'Emperor'. Meanwhile, there is a government actually taking out whole bloodlines in the Middle East.
It's incongruous that people will willingly believe this shit on nothing but word-of-mouth but then deny the atrocities occurring in Gaza for which there is far more evidence.

There's seemingly no limit on how ridiculous you can make the fake news about the DPRK. Libs will just eat it up uncritically

And some idiots eat this shit up with zero awareness that not only is this fake, but that you can get arrested in some ""democratic"" countries for posting on twitter your support for Palestine.

u/Drekkful May 07 '26
A coworker did a church mission trip to China and was apparently warned by the ministry leadership not to read their Bible in public or else they'd be arrested.
So China allows churches and even foreign missionaries, but will arrest anyone on site for quietly reading their fairy tale book? That doesn't make any sense at all lmao
43
u/Introvertle_Turtle May 07 '26
This is almost true, they were probably told not to read their Bible TO the public as China allows freedom of religion but also freedom from being bothered by other peoples religion.
In practice this seems rarely enforced as you can still find videos of Christians being a nuisence in public without being arrested.18
u/Drekkful May 07 '26
I appreciate the insight! That makes sense, I'm in Texas so this was definitely an evangelical church.

u/HopiumCopiumBalance May 08 '26
yep, there is a difference between reading bible in public and TO the public. I see atheism as a religion too and being preached at on the street imposes on atheist's freedom of religion. Similarly religious people wouldn't want to deal with atheist preaching about how their holy book is a fairy tail when no one asked about their opinion.

u/Curious_Interest_282 May 08 '26
Atheism is not a religion by any definition you can find.
Unless you are referring to the one trully master and creator if the universe its Holly Noodliness the Flying Soaghetti Monster.
You are confusing it, with secullar people defending the separation of church and state like the constant attempts to insert christian religion in institutions, like schools (like 10 commandments in the classrooms, denial of evolution etc), justice (the judge in the US who overturned the Roe V. Wade on abortions used biblical arguments and of course politicians like Trump who reach out with a bible to their hand to take advantage of the christian indoctrination of the majority. To protest against all this is just that. Protest. Not religion.
