"Do you believe in Jesus?" in Korea

Being someone from the West, not looking Korean at all, you might hear the following question very often:

Do you believe in Jesus?

I get this question at least once a month, and it also happens on campus. While going back to the dormitory from my morning class I met two people asking me; that's why I feel the need to post about this.

Before coming to Korea I thought the main religion here would be Buddhism, Confucianism and Shintoism (or a mix of all). In reality, I met a lot of Christians here. Most of my Korean friends believe in Jesus.

As in the West, the Christians try to get you to visit their church or participate in their events. The ones I met today were offering free English classes on weekends with highly skilled teachers. And being blond and having blue eyes, I always get spotted and approached by them.

I am Christian on paper, but don't believe in god or Jesus. I always try to avoid this people or get rid of them as soon as possible. So most of my conversations with these people go like this:

• "Are you Christian?"
• "No."
• "Do you believe in Jesus?"
• "No."
• "Do you believe in any kind of god?"
• "No."
• "Maybe you are busy...."
