My new boss wanted to confirm that I am christian (i got the impression anything else was unacceptable and sensed much relief) and whether i would occasionally go to church with him.

Should i be afraid...

"Christian" here is colored in a unique and dynamic spectrum of crazy.

Imagine "Conan the Barbarian" shamanism mixed in with some Jerry Falwell, Jerry Springer, Tom and Jerry, All Blacks rugby warm ups, and Charles Manson. Throw in a little bit of Captain Porridge cult, along with a bag of koo-koo, people smiling as if they're in pain, and old school electric shock therapy.

It's very fashionable. You should try it.

100 pixels? That's kind of small, isn't it?

NEVER do ANYTHING with your boss during YOUR time.

OR: get overtime pay for it.

Tell them that your family is super Catholic. As such, you promised your folks that you wouldn't attend ANY chuch, even Catholic, while you are in Korea. Instead, you have to pray by yourself, focusing on your home church and your family.

It's just weird enough that they might buy it. Personally, I can't stand reliegion, and I can't stand it even more when it comes into the workplace.
