Finally! Some good news out of North Korea! The two American journalists have finally been released and they're heading home! It looks like former president Bill Clinton was behind much of the efforts though:

Indeed, Kim is regarded as a 'god', but there are different definitions of 'God'. One definition is religious, in that refering to an almighty omnipresent creator, and the other to a person or living being that dominates and reigns over all psychological and material things.
Kim is therefore regarded as the 'only god' in the latter respect.
Quote:
The word for God is banned and any belief in a higher power is considered a very serious crime.
Quote:
... religious activity is discouraged. The Word of God is banned in North Korea. Majority of the people have never heard the Word of God, seen a church, or heard about Jesus Christ. Many Christians are in prison camps because of the faith in Jesus Christ. The people have been taught that Christians are “crazy people”.
Quote:
...the regime severely restricts religious observance, with the cult of personality created by national founder Kim Il Sung and enjoyed by his son, current leader Kim Jong Il, serving as a virtual state religion. Those who violate religious restrictions are often accused of crimes such as spying or anti-government activities.
You will also note that the quote you highlighted uses the decapitalised word 'god' and not 'God', which is often a grammatical technique used to differentiate between the two definitions. _________________ Listen to Brooklyn Run, then Buy Their Album... before they fade away.
