  Roy you do not understand how Communism is defined: “Communism is a movement to create a classless, moneyless, stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, as well as a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order…”

  @therealconservative: I have read reports and saw footage of North Korean defectors. Every individual has their own opinion on life in North Korea. However that doesn’t make North Korea a Communist country like saying the United States is a Communist country.

  What history will say about North Korea in how propaganda and mass control of people can achieve a strong country. North Korea is not strong financially; There is only a small amount of fertile land which is endanger by flooding, lack of food has stunted the growth of the civilians, etc. With or without nuclear weapons North Korea will be a difficult country to go to war against. One of the largest armies in the world and surprising “sarcasm” the North Koreans are well trained in many fields. Even though I see North Korea as a sad country in this world; Millions of North Koreans see their country as paradise on Earth.

  North Korea is a very interesting country. Many will be foolish enough to label the DPRK a Communist country. When in fact North Korea is the complete opposite.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea#Government_and_politics
  “North Korea is a self-described Juche (self-reliant) state, described by some observers as a de facto absolute monarchy or “hereditary dictatorship” with a pronounced cult of personality organized around Kim Il-sung (the founder of North Korea and the country’s only president) and his late son, Kim Jong-il…”

  “The structure of the government is described in the Constitution of North Korea, the latest version of which is from 2009 and officially rejects North Korea’s founding ideology of communism…”

  “Professor B. R. Myers argues that the WPK is not a far-left or Communist party, but rather a Far-right party. Myers holds that the party has a platform of “race-based, paranoid nationalism that has nothing to do with Marxism-Leninism,” making it more comparable to 1930′s Japan than other Eastern-Bloc communist parties…”

• Atheist Leader Cites Founding Fathers While Defending Demand for Removal of 10 Commandments in N.C.

  No thanks. I have no interest in the Christian faith. I can respect your views but they’re not for me. I do not need faith in my life or to worship something. In my book I believe there is a supreme deity who created all life in the universe. There is sound science and there are also mysteries. No one is perfect and there is no sin. But there are evils that many can commit; as well goods beings can help others and their environment. Which I believe will lead us to a great afterlife. Throughout the years I have come my own views in my life. I’m happy and wish the same for you.

  No thanks. Church holds no importance in my life. As a deist I believe there is an afterlife. But I do not following a religion will lead me to a good afterlife.

  No thanks. To me religion is all up to interpretation. I feel it is not going to hurt me if I do not follow this or that.

  Times change. Christianity and all religion is becoming a hot topic and unpopular. The Constitution is up to interpretation in trying to see what is legal or against the laws of the country. I believe earlier in our countries’ birth Christianity was practiced; regardless of denomination or group by the majority of Americans. Going to church, bible and prayer in school, etc. In fact many Christian religions like Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses were founded in the U.S. I believe. But as we got older and new and new immigrates brought in their religions or people converted to new religions the practice Christianity became more common with church attendance. We became more and more secular as the years went by. Do you agree?

  No, I’m not a communist or a capitalist or whatever. Like I said I’m my own person. For most of my life I had either identified as this or that. I been to churches, synagogues, and mosques. Thankfully people did respect me and my urge to understand more about Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The same can be said about all kinds of people I have met in my life. When I was younger I was a strong believer in Christianity. That was who I was in my teens. Then I feel like a huge weight. Everything turned ugly and I did become bitter. I started to identify as an atheist for a few years. Only one pastor and friend I still have contacts with. Years later I decided that I do believe in a God who is a like a supreme deity. I tried to get different religions and studied them. As time went by I started to learn from the skeptics on why all religion in man-made or influenced from other cultures, myth and legends, etc. Now, I see myself a deist. I just do not have the faith to be a Christian or a Muslim. I like to learn what different people believe but would never follow religion again.

  @ABRAHAM YOUNG: I respectfully disagree with the United States being a Christian nation. Our nation is secular but we have a Christian heritage. Now, now before you or anyone else thinks I lost my mind think about our history. As America progressed into a more multicultural country. We lost favor with the Christian tradition based in our government, schools, etc. You can still see people practicing prayer, reading religious text or even Presidents being sworn in on the bible. The latest being President Obama who is a Christian. I feel fundamental Christians want a theocracy based of their view of Christianity. Which our Founding Fathers and early leaders wanted to avoid.
