I went to Korea (for the third time) last year to visit a friend. Everywhere, there were pictures of Jesus on restaurants, and street vendors selling cheap necklaces with the cross on them. There was practically a church on every corner (OK, I know I'm exaggerting, but still).
I don't have anything against Christianity, but this angers me. Shouldn't the Koreans at least try preserve their indigenous rituals and culture? Why are Asian countries becoming more and more westernized?

After World War 2, Korea was freed from Japan. Guess who occupied South Korea? Guess who westernized it? Christianity has a history of converting indigenous cultures.

Animal, for as quickly as I trust you. Korean spirituality is prosperous and significant and suitable to Korean lifestyle. Christianity is foreign places and concern based. The missionaries might desire to have carried out a huge determination on the Koreans; they offered the hype lock, inventory and barrel. to quote Bob Marley: in case you be attentive to your history, then you particularly would be attentive to the place you're coming from. i ask your self what tragic journey led to Koreans to settle for Christianity in such numbers. Thank the ancestral gods i'm an Asatruar.

Koreans have a different kind of Christianity than is practiced in Western Christian denominations. I'm not sure all the details, but I know that they synchronize their own traditional beliefs with Christianity. They kind of Koreanized Christianity, if you will.

I hate it too. My parents are South Asian and whenever we go to India, everyone is wearing jeans and t-shirts. Most girls don't even know how to tie a sari anymore! It's so sad!

I think that it is great that people are hearing the Gospel and accepting it worldwide . Praise the Lord!
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and ALL tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands rev. 7:9
