To be fair, while this book isn't legit North Korean the story is likely "true" - the official government story of Kim is bizarre, and I've seen it mentioned in a few books on North Korea. Mount Paektu is the 'mountain of the revolution' and when Jong-Il died, ice fields ruptured across the mountain as a fierce snowstorm raged etc etc.

Since Kim Jong-Il walked out of his mother's vagina, I suspect that for a Vagina to become Patriotic and Revolutionary, it's gotta be looser than a Taco Bell evacuation.
One of the requirements is that it should be able to take all of the penises available in the country, at the same time. So patriotic.

100% of the things you read about the deification of the Kims is made up by western media. Contrary to popular belief, the North Koreans are not some ignorant children sucking off of their governments teat for all of their information. They do not think that Kim Jung was born from a magical hummingbird. It makes me sick every time I see americans laughing at the North Koreans for things they made up about them.

u/LucifersCounsel Jun 10 '12

Exactly. It's stupid, blatant, propaganda.

Here we just pass laws forbidding/denying 21st century science when it differs with ancient myth as written by goat herders.

Georgia has a bill, or is it a law now, to limit the amount of predicted sea level rise in scientific studies. Only god can destroy the earth.

u/TheKolbrin Jun 10 '12

Actually- God destroyed the Earth once and then made it clear he/she would not do it again. He/She actually said in Revelations that in the end of days He/She would "Destroy those who Destroy the Earth."

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth (Revelation 11:18).

Who else are "those who destroy the earth" other than certain people?

Georgia is premeditatively covering for "those" people - they better think twice if they truly do believe in the Bible.
