Religious Art

When I get to South Korea, you can count on the following from me when it comes to religious art.

• Plenty of Buddhist art, for their historical value, and out of respect that DiAnne and I carry for Kwan Yin.
  
• As much shamanistic art as I can find, before the Christian extremists wipe them out forever.
• No Confucian art, as they are the reason why Korea became such a backward country in the royal era (and to a lesser extent, even today). I am firmly against belief systems that set strict arbitrary hierarchies between people. Confucians have also suppressed the Buddhists for spreading "dangerous" concepts such as equality.
• No Christian "art," as there is no such thing as Korean indigenous Christian art. They are busy copying the works of the superior white (often American) men - Korea is the only place where drawing Jesus and Mary in the form of the natives is considered blasphemy. Lots of subservient Confucian influence in Korean Christianity - hence their blatant support of the US Republicans. Christians, led by the new government, are very busy cracking down on Buddhists and shamans. (And funding California's gay marriage ban initiative.)
  
• I will make a few exceptions for Christian "art" - I will photograph and post plenty of obnoxious, illegally posted Christian stickers on subway trains, power poles, and other public places. I will also photograph and post lunatic Christian missionaries on street corners blasting their doomsday scenarios.
• There is a mosque in Seoul as well, but I will stay away as well, as the Muslims are complicit in Christian theocracy both in South Korea and in the US (where Muslims were overwhelmingly Republican until W betrayed them).

Wish me luck!
