Missions in Japan

My wife and I are currently serving in Japan as Missionaries and English teachers. We have been working with Riverside Chapel Church in Soka, Saitama along with Chi Alpha ministries at Dokkyo University, Tokyo University, and Waseda University in Tokyo.

Feel free to ask us questions you may have on our experience in Japan!

I appreciate all of the feedback - whether critical or in praise of. All points of view are encouraged!

@elicash80 Thanks for the feedback, but I am afraid I am going to have to keep up the melodramatic rhetoric, as reason falls short on those blinded by faith. You may want pick up a few more data points before you start trying to make any sort of qualitative claims about how I spend my time though.

@sweetsweatyfeet Actually it was unfair of me to brand ALL religion as intolerant. There are some religions that are very accepting of other beliefs---even a few denominations of Christianity. However I cannot say this about Evangelical Christians and these are most likely the ones on missions out to proselytize by shooting down anything that is not Christian.

@elicash80 The close mindedness is all on the Christian side. In fact the belief system is intrinsically intolerant and dogmatic by it's very nature as are all religions. This is why so many Christians spend their lives evangelizing. When a belief threatens you with eternal torture in hell if you don't buy into it---nothing more close minded than that. You are free to believe as you like but if you try to push your bronze age tripe on others, expect a reaction.

@tessellation Wow, this is hilarious. It reads like bad dialogue from a video game. Tessellation do something positive with your life once you graduate, like I don't know, actually help someone, instead of jabbering inarticulate hate speech.

@sweetsweatyfeet If they feel they are commanded by a higher power or their creator or by any sort of divine influence, then more power to them. Christians are actual welcome frank discussions about religion. Closed-mindedness only seems to happen when the anti-religion groups want to suppress freedom of religion and it's outflow.

If the Japanese came to the US and tried to convert Christian kids to Buddhism--how would you like that?

@stalkingalizee I am sorry to give you the impression that I thought Christianity was the only disease on this planet. However I support your desire to destroy Islam.

[stalkingalizee]

@tessellation The only disease is Islam and we will eradicate it.
