Robert Kim

Re: Bitter South Koreans Rally Behind Spy Convicted in U.S.: Defenders call Robert Kim, who gave classified military documents to Seoul, a true patriot.

Would they say the same thing of (naturalized Korean citizen) 하일 (formerly Robert Holley) if he had been convicted of spying for his former country, the United States? Of course not. But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that no hypocrisy would be seen in such a double-standard. You see, the moral relativism so new and troubling to the Western mind has been part of the mindset in this part of the world for millennia.

We monotheists and children of Abraham (Jew, Christian, or Muslim) recognize one God and by extension one Truth and one set of rules for everyone. But we are by no means superior. To know the Truth and reject it is far worse than never having known it. As the West reverts back to its original paganism, shedding 2000 years of Christian tradition, moral relativism returns.
