Live and let live, I say. So far be it from me to criticize the Korean missionaries who believed they were on an important assignment from God to go into Afghanistan and travel along the country's most dangerous road before they were kidnapped by Taliban fighters.
I'm not a praying man, but I sure do hope they get home safely. But as a Korean, I must ask: What is it about Koreans that makes so many of us so fervent and fundamentalist about religion and cults?
I've always been suspicious about organized religion and I don't buy that personal dialogue with God is necessary to live well. I do think it's important to be thankful, to somehow believe there is meaning to our lives and and to not piss on people because they believe in their own God. Beyond that, shit, I don't know.
And that's exactly what I will be telling my Papito when he's old enough to ask me about God.
