I started the weekend with a nationalist rebuke of foreigners who don't like crappy tasteless Korean beer, (you see, our Korean palate demands a light taste to mesh in perfect harmony with the anju - the gross palate of whitey just can't understand) and I now I round it off with another gracious lesson as to why a seemingly horrific death cult was actually a life embracing self-help movement... or something. The extent to which folks will rationalize is exceeded only by the depth to which they will shove their heads up their collective asses.
