  • Fuck everyone else!!! The catholic faith will reach far and beyond. Other Christians can't even compete(because Catholicism is real unlike Protestants and Mormons) the pope can get to everyone's heads easy.

  • @pixusbubblejet Yeah, i have a lot of friends like what you say. Things like the cross are just accessories to them and they hold more scientific positions regarding the world. My friend does indeed practice some traditional things passed down from her family but she doesn't think much of it and is mostly to honor her ancestors. I hope the small christian percentage stays that way. I am in US and I hate religion in politics and everything. It is corrupt :(

  • @Halebound1 i am from japan. these are western manian japanese. they are crazy about america and english. like they want to become western. they are not majority but more like a fashion.. we japanese are mostly free of religions. the traditional religions of shinto and buddhism are not even strongly practiced but more like a custom. i think japan is mostly atheist or agnostic. i think buddhism is already atheist.

  • @RonSafreed actually it was the Shogun who banned it, not the emperor

  • @Halebound1 youre right FUCK CATHOLICS FORS STEALING OTHER COUNTIRES CULUTRES!!!1

  • Oh man, why bring this mental sickness to Asia? They have enough issues over there without thinking thing they have imaginary friends. Don't fall for this my Asian friends. This is a mental disease.

  • Christianity was first brought by the Spanish&Portuguese back in the 1500s. It was spreading especially in the southern&eastern areas. In 1637 the emperor was alarmed by the conversions&ordered it banned. A blood-bath occured. Japan remained closed off from the outside world until 1853 when commander Perry from the US entered Tokio bay. It is said that there were about 8000 Christians left from the 1600s their decendants in the late 19th century..
