One worship in chapel

I once designed an altar of chapel in school. It was prepared for a graduation preach by my friends last year. Basic idea focused on women and feminism that color tone was basically purple. I found and used some curtains which was already used by last year's students.

The cross is a bit different from normal Presbyterian churches in Korea. It has a circle on center and used to represents Presbyterian Church in Taiwan(PCT) as well as TTCS.

The shapes was motivated and copied from a journal of AWARC, "In God's Image." Four shapes of women were arising in sequence. I like it. I equipped small lights behind each shape and made it lit right after the sermon.

Some small pillars made of paper were also arranged in front of altar. Round pillars of blue and purple color symbolizes unity and reconciliation of all sexes.

The other part was 14 pictures and cartoons representing Via Dolorosa which were posted on 14 big columns in chapel. Some were shocking to men such as "Abolition is a personal decision, not a legal debate." It made a serious professor uncomfortable.

With excellent preach by two candidates, worship was quite good, I believe. A professor even surprisingly commented that he has been waiting this preach for six years. I assume many of women students in this school were not yet so much aware of feminism theology. And the president specially commented and appreciated about worship order sheet. It was also designed by myself.

Please do not ask me.

I'll shoot anybody who ask me about president election. I swear. Why should I explain "Oh, he is a million times worse than Bush," or "Just imagine Ma is even stupid and Christian!"

Future will be better, I think so. But, tomorrow will be worse than today, I guarantee.

That'll be Korea 5 years from now on.

Liberty requires religion

Just now Romney, one of the Republican candidates running for President election in America said, "Liberty requires religion" on speech. And said in the sense that no religion should influence secular politics as well. A journalist featuring on CNN added his speech recalls JFK's. The difference is JFK was Catholic while he is a Mormon.

But there seems another difference between them. JFK insisted religion would not be involved his policy and administrating on the contrary to Romney's naive(I think) statement in Texas a several minutes before casting on CNN. Romney's speech was applauded many times with his repeating stress on American heritage of liberty, which is supposed to be one of the prime values oh human kind. And That value must include religious freedom as well for sure. Actually JFK didn't mix up his religious faith on the policies of his administration.

Romney said, "God gave us(American, maybe) liberty." It makes me feel suspicious about not his sincerity but logic of faith, which used to flow automatically to influence some secular decision with religious faith. Because decision making and faith is commonly personal at their final stage. And we saw many examples such as Jimmy Carter or George Bush now.

I'll check his current position as a candidate toward the next residence of White House for 4 years. He at least is creating many interesting arguments on old issues of separation between state and religion. CNN is still hanging on faith to Presidential candidate.

Bible-torturers

I was watching National Geographic on TV about The flood of Noah. A few people believe the real global flood had covered whole over the world once in history. The other, actually most of scientists, denies those opinion.

They interviewed a pastor at the end. He said the Bible is like a person who is being tortured so that it will say what the torturer wants. I absolutely agreed then. Christians today, especially those in my country are definitely Bible-torturers to squeeze the answer which they want to be heard.

I had also experienced 15 days of rain here even though it was not every time heavy. It might be furious if it continues to rain heavily 40 days in act. And I might kill the one who keeps on yelling me more than one hour.

People just wants what they wants. That is the nature of human. And capitalism gives right to people. That is the process. And they use even the Bible.
