    ...just came across this article while poking around for something else -- it's on the experiences of a North Korean defector getting in with some of the christian evangelists who ply their trade energetically both north and south of the DPRK:

    I was a Party member for 10 years, and they indoctrinated us with the Party ideology," he said. "When I hear Christian preaching, it sounds similar to the Party teachings. Christians praise God, but North Koreans praise Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. At least they are mortal and we can see them. In Christianity, they ask me to praise the Lord, whom we cannot even see."
