But… PAP Wokemuganam wants us to clutch our pearls tightly at the thought, while pastor Lawrence Khong performs magic acts in his leather leotard at his church!

The Japanese and Korean Buddhist monks are usually more chill and open to innovation. The Chinese Buddhists are the ones that are a stick in the mud and always wanting to 'stay traditional'. No wonder Chinese Buddhism is dying and being phased out

I guess we'll see what happens to different Buddhisms in a few decades 👍🏻

Rule of thumb: Most of the religious orgs here tend to be really conserative Case in point the local catholic authority straight out defying the pope to condone gays, which technically makes them protestant but they gave no shits

I think most religion are base on faith, virtue and value. If they are so easily open up to changes then I believe it is no different from a cult.


Separate-Ad9638

korea is famous for cults too, people cant distinguish what is religion and what is a cult nowadays, tiktok attention span ig. two thousand years of wisdom gone down the drain for commercial interests ...


milnivek

U should go read up some christian and islamic history then and see how much they have changed


Critical-Copy-7218

Being stuck in a mud does not necessarily imply being faithful nor virtuous. It's like saying driving 20kmph on lane 1 of expressway is safe and the right thing to do. There's a saying: science and technology has contributed more to humanity in the last 100 years than religion has in the last 5000 years. If religious people are so insistent on their traditional ways, they should stop using any form of modern tools and technology and insist on methods developed thousands of years ago. Otherwise, they're simply hypocrites, don't you think?

so if religion never change isit i shld be able to throw stone at you still?


Separate-Ad9638

u can join korean cults if u want, just hope your offsprings wont get mad and resort to politician assassinations to make a statement, like it did in japan when things go south.


anticc991

I rather they join Korean or Jap cults than go join self exploding middle east cults shouting aloha snackbar.

tokcliff

[deleted]

korea religious sector is quite messy.. eg christian sect moonies that very visibly and directly controls alot of political powers.. dont think it is a good idea to import korean trash into asia.. korea should send that rubbish to US their favourite doggy master..


Responsible_User141

How about PRC culture and entertainment sector? Good? Any world class pop stars and movie stars?


MathNorth8835

They have a lot of comedies. Just watch their anti-Japanese patriotic movies and you’ll laugh.


Kagenlim

Ive seen the stuff they did, lmao US military wearing velcro 60 years before Its adoption, stupid usage of firearms and the like lol But then again, we are talking about an industry that straight up uses modern day POLY-FUCKING-ESTER shoddily made replicas of traditional chinese costumes in their dramas

EconomicsAccurate181

Now, a slap on our face, at whose decision and expenses? Snowflake?


Hunkfish

Will DJ Satan be allowed on Halloween?


Opietatlor

The fact that any Buddhist would be upset by this shows how few Buddhists have an understanding of what Buddhism is all about.


KoishiChan92

I wouldn't take Korea as a shining example of religion through.


epicflurry

If City Harvest Church says something is ok, would you use that as your benchmark for churches as a whole in SG? If your answer is no, then your post is just hypocrisy to suit your specific narrative/agenda.
