The situation in North Korea. To those poeple Kim Jyong Yeil is the son of god. And they really believe it. They are cut off from the outside world. No internet, no cell phones, and all t.v. is monitered and supplied through the government. If you study the myths surounding Kim yeil Sung and his son, these are indoctrinated into the poeple at birth. They are gods. Kim yeil sung walked across a river on leaves, and threw pinecones that turned into hand grenades. His son as his successor is believed to be born in a holy place, where in the middle of winter flowers bloomed and the world knew that a great leader was born. When Kim yeil sung died a 1000 cranes decended from the heavens to carry him away. These poeple believe this and honor the regime. The idea was built on confusionism that states that that the state is a body and the head is the great leader, without which neither could exist. My question is this, How is this different from the holy bible, where a culture was isolated and.
