That's lovely, is there a motivational poster that come with that? I searched the building, couldn't find any leprechauns either.

You must think it is satire (and you're probably right), but it could be taken another way. |

Don't you think that the other way is absent from the theology of all major religions today? I mean that a fundamental division between God and man seems to be a premise of devotional religion. |

You have obviously never studied history. Or read the Declaration of Independence...
You seem to be giddy over this move away from belief in a higher power...which possibly might explain your ability to so openly make false claims about history... |

The Global Credit Crunch came because, well the world ran out of colaterals. Then where's the next obvious tax dodge?
Since godly institutions are hardly required to pay tax, openly flout labour laws, auditing procedures, and transparency means opaque, make tempting investment for the desperately lazy. Hey, I'd go there myself if I had any money. |

Aren't Koreans pretty religious? About half of them are Christian, aren't they? And the vast majority of Koreans in Americans are evangelical Christians, thats for sure. |

| If the church is back, which I doubt, it's only in a badly debased form. Instead of sermons and hymns it has motivational videos and accoustic guitar sing-alongs. Very collectivistic, basically a lame social group, all about 'feeling good and helping others'. |
