100 Things I Love About Korea # 26: Religious Diversity

Just behind Korea Nazarene University, there are a church and a Buddhist Temple literally side by side.  There they are: cross and lotus flower, Jesus and Buddha, both calling people to worship.
I am not a relativist.  I don't believe that all religions are the same, but somehow this overt juxtaposition of religious strikes me as poignant and beautiful.
Maybe it's because I come from a nation that still sometimes claims to have one religion - despite manifold evidence to the contrary.  Maybe it's because I like the open acknowledgement that we are in fact different from each other.  Maybe it's because I appreciate the colors and peaceful aura of Buddhism.  Maybe it's because I just like stirring the pot.
I'm not sure why, but I love Korea's religious diversity.

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

This "spoken-word" poem has been watched nearly 17 million times since it was posted a mere 17 days ago.  That's a million viewings a day!  It has also started a firestorm of comments, likes, shares, tweets, and video responses (both for and against).
This tells me a few things.
1) The relationship between religion, church, and Jesus is a VERY hot issue in this era.
2) A very well-crafted piece now has the potential to make a huge impact in a very short amount of time, without the benefit of old-school media outlets.
3) He speaks truth - uncomfortable truth.
