They have probably caught up with Christiananity now.... "lets just build a church and "have people "clients" feel important" - while we suck the money out of them - by making them feel guilty is they do not donate heaps of money....

To me Chritiananity in Korea is just another business... similar to Hagwons - that is - tell the "customers" what they want to hear as long as they keep paying the cash.... - maybe "buddhist monks" are simply joining the bandwagon....

Remember a few years ago when the Chogye sect was fighting with the other sect(don't remember their name)? They were tossing fire bombs at, and knocking, each other off of three story scaffolds because they didn't want to give up the cash cow of leadership of the temple. No matter how good something looks on paper (Buddhism, Islam, Christianity. Communism, Capitalism, or Socialism), when people get ahold of it, they're going to mess it up. Rolling Eyes

If putting on a particular garment were to purify the mind, there'd be a lot of enlightened people around.

religion has been the greatest cause of most of the wars around the world -

muslims versus Buddhists

christians versus muslims

protestants versus catholics

take a lot of most of the wars that have and are happening and take a closer look at the major religions behind the two different sides..... and what they are fighting for......

oil ain't just oil"

Nowdays, isn't most churches about the social aspect anyhow? I somehow doubt that the people who devoutly attend church really have such an appreciation for the word of the gospel as much as they like hanging out and meeting with friends.

At least, Korean churches overseas are like that. It seems like all the young Korean international students here in Australia love going to church (?), later I found out it's because they offer free lunches and social events for the kids.
