Day 13: the christian rock info-mercial

if i was into priestcraft, i'd sure be up for a good ol' time at kim young's church. I kept my agreement today and went with her to her service at SaRang Church. (사랑의 교회) i've been to a lot of churches, but this was more of a rock stage with Jesus' name plastered around. it was pretty impressive though. i'm guessing that people go and feel that they had such a good time that they should pay the people for entertaining them for an hour and a half. (or because the donation bag is passed around and all eyes are on you.) more than half of the time was consumed in the congregations singing christian rock songs, only to repeat the exact same words over and over again. (most of the time it was: Jesus, we praise you. i think i sang those words over 75 times.) the rest of the 45 minutes was a stand up comedy act or chanting your own prayers out loud. it was pretty funny, and i'd come back every sunday just to see that show again. heck, i might even look into it for myself. it could be a good career move.
