They have a stone monument on the beach where the first Christian missionaries came ashore. Still a lot of Buddhists there.

For shame, you have provided the Obama-like North Korean midget the clue for destroying South Korea.
Just convert South Korea to Islam. They’ll then have 1/4 the productivity of North Korea, coupled with a civil system that will reduce their productivity to that of the West Bank.

Some countries that appear to be embracing Christianity and strengthening the family unit are also prospering economically like they have not seen in recent history.
By contract, other countries who have turned their collective backs on God and abhor Biblical principles appear to be on a one-way trip into the abyss. Culturally as well as economically.

I lived there for 3 years. They have Buddhist temples which are more than 2000 years old. You see references to Buddhism all over the place and they consider it a major part of their history.
The Christians tend to be a lot more dedicated than those in the US.

And the South Koreans have an amazingly strong work ethic that promotes prosperity and independence, something currently out of favor with the current US administration.
