what is shinto?

[uphamtimothy]

I can sure see the Siberian origins to Shintoism. Like the people of the Arctic Circle, there is a great reverence to the sun. This can be seen in Japan, the land of the rising sun, the flag of Japan, and the sun goddess of Shintoism, Amaterasu. But unfortunately, Shintoism was made into the state religion of Japan, before and during Word War II. But now we can see the positive aspects about Shintoism. I am sure this makes Amaterasu very happy.

I love shinto. It's so interesting how japan retained it's ancient religion today, in the midst of modernization and all. I love how nature centered it is and accepting, unlike some modern religions of today.

You are misinformed, YoungGun08816. Of course the origins of Shintoism isn't a state religion. The origins of Shintoism isn't too different from the beliefs of the Hawaiian islanders or the Druids. It's a polytheistic belief that 'gods' dwell in trees, springs, etc. I find that you are in fact hate mongering as you are operating on the premise that the Imperial Japanese Army of WWII is still in power. Will you only be happy when the island is nuked and all the Japanese are dead?

@Fahadinho1985 sure it is if you're in a islamic country, but many other countries worship different gods!

@svenno121 Just because its old doesn't make it right. Archaic ideas aren't valued into todays societies for example.

[Fahadinho1985]

[mhfw]

Seeing the fruits of Islam is enough to scare the hell out of me.

@svenno121 ~1250 yrs old actually...its based off of when their prophet received his revelations and began teaching the religion. they know they come from abrahamic religion origins....you should probably do a little research next time kiddo. religion was created by people when they learned to communicate, it doesnt have to be the answer to the universe...its made up to explain what people couldnt explain in the past or to give them answers about how to live their life in a virtuous manner.

@Fahadinho1985 Why do you have to bring your BS in here?, didn't your parents teach you to be respectful of other cultures?

shinto does mean the way of god not gods.!!!!

[patsybob]

@kaiserarab no shinto means "the way of the gods" not god as there isnt just one god they worship! did you pay attention at all?

One important thing this video neglects: the true origin of Shinto. When you say Shinto is a traditional religion of Japan, it is deceptive. A well written article on Shinto at a WSU site. Check out my Profile then click the Website to find out the true origin.
