@AntichristDemoncore Fine. But I have chosen to believe.

[AntichristDemoncore]

@emmthreejonny indoctrination =/= choice

[emmthreejonny]

@AntichristDemoncore I'm rather curious how some people continue to say they were "forced" to be Christians at this day and age. Proselytized yes that's natural but forced? Hardly so. Maybe its your own conscience.

@emmthreejonny LOL WHAT, I don't rly care about religion at all I'm just fuckin sick of Christians trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. I could have used any other place christian scum have infected as an example.

@AntichristDemoncore As far as I know, Christianity was adopted by the Scandinavians not infected by it. I wouldn't rob them almost a thousand years of identity just to go back to a culture I'm sure they do not even identify strongly today. If you truly want to worship Norse religion, that's up to you, although Revelations ends better than Ragnarok. My only advise is you should be complaining on the Thor movie, because that movie was horrible, imo.

@emmthreejonny the same way christianity infected Scandinavia.

@emmthreejonny

Japanese can choose any religion. 2 Prime Ministers are Christian in Japan politics history, but almost ones are Buddhist. Japanese does not mind religion of Prime Minister.

@N25Commando This is well known in Japan. We learn it in school, and watch this kind TV drama often.

@emmthreejonny Everyone is free to choose any religion in Japan. The Edo period ended in the year 1868. After that choosing religion is free. There are many Christians live in Japan.
