Great, now they have infiltrated Japan as well....

Good thing Japan is one of those smart countries that separate religion from reality. You will almost never hear religious arguments in Japanese politics, you know, since it is dumb and ignorant to use religious argument.

My Japanese friends, good luck with the missionaries. -by Taiwanese.

Japan is predominantly Buddhist and Shintoist, you can't go throughout Japan converting all Buddhists and Shintoists to Christianity. Being Buddhists and Shintoists is their national identity and heritage and they work so hard and sacrificed a lot to preserve them and pass them to the next generation, and they will not abide anyone especially you who dares to convert them to another religion.

@mikeyjwest I'm a christian, but I seriously doubt that Jesus Christ had megaphones for his message.

@chunkiestbacon PFew... I don't think you would have liked that Christ guy. He was always making a lot of noise and talk about being disruptive to religious peace...

@superdubman999 I think you are replying to the wrong person. I know they`re agnostic. Actually the majority if asked their religion will say they are Buddhist or multi-religion (buddhism, shintoism, and confusionism),but in tradition only. Most practice some of each of these (marriage, burial, New`s Year`s, Obon, family shrine, philosophy, etc) but only from a traditional standpoint not a deep belief. But if you ask them how they feel about God, most say atheist or agnostic.

[superdubman999]

@paisleyyama The japanese? Of course not. Being agnostic is being open to the idea but simply not caring, or doing, anything about it. They are not for, nor against it. Thats what agnostic is. It is incorrect to call them pagan. But at the same time it is incorrect to call them atheist. They are, for all intents and purposes of the word, agnostic.

@superdubman999 Yes, but that does not make them anti-Christian. 

[superdubman999]

@eisuke90210 Christians did not do this. A christian is one who follows christ message. turning the cheek. living in love with ones neighbor. it was the imperialists countries. it was human greed. all the opposite of christian belief. You are a fool. Dont preach this crap against christianity basing your facts off of hypocrites. Take those who follow the message. There is a God. these people r doing good work True christians are the happiest people in the world. look atheist chinas happiness

[superdubman999]

@paisleyyama they are agnostic
