Complete video at: fora.tv In this highlight from May 2007, noted atheist Christopher Hitchens compares monotheistic belief to a despotic dictatorship -- similar to his observations of North Korea under Kim Jong Il. The key difference, he argues? "You can get out of North Korea - you can die, and it's over. You can't do that with monotheism." ----- Christopher Hitchens speaks about his new book God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Hitchens, an always colorful and sometimes outrageous commentator, now takes aim at God. Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins have tried, but that hard-to-hit Fellow keeps popping back up. Worse still are the violent ways of his flock: waging religious warfare, keeping women enslaved, fomenting universal hatreds. Hitchens makes a powerful case for atheism - Politics and Prose Christopher Hitchens is an author and journalist whose books, essays, and journalistic career span more than four decades. He has been a columnist and literary critic at The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Slate, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, and became a media fellow at the Hoover Institution in 2008.

In a debate with his brother Peter, Christopher Hitchens discusses the similarities between the ideal religious world and North Korea (which was, at the time, under the rule of the late Kim Jong-il). This particular speech, which was given by Hitchens several times across the world, is regarded to be among the most thought-provoking and is often a favorite for secularists and atheists alike. The debate (Hitchens vs. Hitchens, 2008) is definitely worth watching, and is available in its entirety here, courtesy of ChristopherHitchslap: www.youtube.com Subtitles have been added by myself so that others can easily quote this clip. If you find any errors in the subtitles, please let me know.

Google Tech Talks June 29, 2007 ABSTRACT North Korea today is home to a network of several dozen concentration camps rivaling those of Auschwitz and Dachau of days past, hosting over 250000 political prisoners and their families. North Korea is a prison state- there are no freedoms of religion, speech, movement, assembly- even the right to leave the nation is barred from the people. Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans have fled to neighboring China, only to be hunted down by Chinese authorities and sent back to North Korea to face torture and death; or to be sold by brokers and smugglers as labor or sexual slaves. An additional 15000 North Koreans toil in slave labor camps outside North...

North Korea's government exercises virtual total control over society and imposes state sanctioned atheism, and the cult of personality of Kim Jung Il and Kim Il Sung have been described as a political religion.Although the North Korean constitution states that freedom of religion is permitted, free religious activities no longer exist in North Korea as the government sponsors religious groups only to create an illusion of religious freedom.[70][71] Cardinal Nicolas Cheong Jin-suk has said that, "There's no knowledge of priests surviving persecution that came in the late forties, when 166 priests and religious were killed or kidnapped." which includes the Roman Catholic bishop of Pyongyang, Francis Hong Yong-ho. Atheists should all move to their daddys stomping grounds IMO.....

In North Korea there is no Internet. Information is controlled and rationed by the government, which feeds a carefully crafted set of lies and half-truths to its people everyday. Radios and TVs are officially fixed and can't be tuned to foreign broadcasts yet an increasing number of people are managing to keep tabs on the wider world via underground radio reception. Martyn Williams traveled to South Korea to find out the lengths people need to go to when there is no Internet.
