buddhism under siege in Korea

I myself am a buddhist who converted to Buddhism from Christianity and I cried when I read this. I heard about your website from a Christian co worker and heard that you were conservative Christians who oppose intolerance by Islam but what about intolerance by Christianity? Why aren't you condemning this sort of thing if you all condemn Muslim for doing the same thing?

[JudgemAll]

Why aren't you condemning this sort of thing if you all condemn Muslim for doing the same thing?

Yawn, obviously you have not been reading posts around here and just want to spew further lies and hatred yourself.

[theladyfromjersey]

Im not spewing hate! Why would accuse me of such a thing!?

[Arpege92]

Wait a minute here. You've been a part of FR for one day and you have the nerve to come and make final judgements on us. Check your attitude at the door, otherwise people are not going to take too kindly to you.

[theladyfromjersey]

Yawn, obviously you have not been reading posts around here

Well yeah! I just found this website a month ago! Where would I be able to find condemnation of this sort of thing? I haven't heard any Christian groups condmemn any of what's happening in Korea!

[Arpege92]

You sure are spewing hate. Have you even bothered to read posts and threads on this website before throwing accusations out there?

So what if I just got here? What's wrong with that? And why do I have an attitude. Im not the one bombing churches and forcing Buddhism on others!

Christianity is not the only religion under attack by the leftists - Any and all religions that do not bow to the power of the state, or ARE the state are marked for destruction:

How is this hatred? I mean... I was just wondering why you aren't condmening this sort of thing?

[theladyfromjersey]

Then why are you attacking Buddhists? How am I doing somthing wrong by posting this? If it bothers you why don't you condemn it and denounce this sort of thing? I thought Christians were supposed to be loving and gentle?

[Arpege92]

Neither are we. You have a HUGE CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER and you obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about. Freeper's are good people with good intentions, and you have the nerve to come here and say otherwise.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of your attitude, or you will be flamed.

I glanced at about half this article; and, but for the guy with the mic, sent to the mental hospital, and those kids gospelling in front of the statue, there's little solid evidence that Christians are on a jihad. I would, at second thought, suspect Marxists or Muslims or both, of stirrin' up bad karma between the faithful. Nuts come in all colors and avowed faiths. You might be worried about the wrong bunch. Heck, it don't take a genius to figure out that carving a crucifix into a statue is gonna mess with heads. Like putting red and black ants in a jar, and shaking.

[Arpege92]

Okay....who's attacking Buddhists here on FR?

[tet68]

It would perhaps be better to educate those christians
here,as they probably do not know about this.

Buddhists are under attack many places in the pacific rim,
I had not heard of these Korean attacks myself.

[theladyfromjersey]

I don't I have several friends who are Christian and they are also shocked about this sort of violence by members of their religion. I was just wondering why not a whole lot have been condemning this sort of violent acts by people claiming to represent Christians?

[VOA]

Well, if people claiming to be Christians are doing this sort of things...they've
gone beyond the pale and need extremely strong disapproval (and whatever jail time
the civil law imposes).

I know Korea has a heavy Christianization and that even what is now the capitol city
of North Korea once had so many churches that it was called "The Jerusalem of the East".

[steplock]

You haven't seen responses mainly because there have been very few posts.

You may be surprised by the responses FOR the Buddists from the Freepers if you laid out the background first.

I am surprised that a Buddist would ACCUSE and CONDEMN first? Not exactly the teachings of Buddah.

This sounds like leftist knee-jerking.

[Arpege92]

Well, I'm not up to speed on this issue...although I am willing to listen. You came on like gangbusters with your accusations towards Christians and it didn't go over well with me.

You seem calm now...so do tell me what you know.

thank you.

[tet68]

That is not how your first replies came across.
You will find that there are many here who view Buddhism
as a close second to Muslims, mainly through knowing little about it.
