One thing that I think gets lost in translation is that the Asian (Chinese/Korean/Japanese) word for 'god' has a different connotation than how "God" is perceived in the west.

Specifically, the Asian word for 'god' maps to 'immortal with legendary powers', like what you might think when you hear "Greek god", as opposed to a singular "Biblical God". Even capitalizing the "g" is a minor mistranslation.

In English, "God" is the most powerful nickname one could possibly receive. But in Chinese/Korean/Japanese, since it maps to "god" (perhaps one of many gods), it's not even clearly more powerful than say, Jangbi's nickname of "The Almighty".

Christianity DO exists in Asia, you know. Its even one of the biggest religion in Korea. 100% sure they are very well aware of the concept of the biblical God.

Flash:I plan to broadcast for about 2 or 3 years more. I think I’ll start my military service once all the rest have gone and come back.

Flash: Actually, I’ve been offered a position in the past and considered doing it. But I made the decision to pursue that path after I’ve finished my military service.

Yes but I'm talking about the actual WORD they use.

In English, the difference between the Christian God and a "Greek god" is merely the capitalization of a letter. In Chinese / Japanese / Korean they are completely different words, like Zeus vs Jesus are different words.

The irony is you jump on my post, but your post is exactly an example of how non CJK speakers are likely to not grasp this nuance.
