A Christian believer carries
out one's life of faith based on the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible is it written
that a believer should force his or her beliefs upon another. Yet this is
exactly what is happening in the Republic of Korea today - in the name of
religion.
The coercive conversion
programme was established and is being carried out by pastors of the Christian
Council of Korea (CCK). (Please see links below for a further
explanation). Article 20 of the Constitution of South Korea,
entitled ‘Freedom of Religion’, states “all citizens enjoy the
freedom of religion”, yet, to date, more than 1200 people have been subject to this
programme and two women have been murdered. Is this not a clear violation of one’s
human rights on a basic level?
Thankfully, worldwide rallies
attended by hundreds of thousands of people have started to be heard by global
media agencies - most recently in India. The Korean government has still not yet
released a single statement on this evil practice because of the shady mix
between religion and politics. I believe that if we continue to raise our
voices, these pastors - who escape the punishment of the legal system by
inciting parents to carry out the dirty work - will be brought to justice and
this practice banned. The CCK is not a religious organisation, does not
serve God, violates human rights, lies about the Bible and divides Korean
society. It works against the cause of peace and unification and must cease to
exist.
