    japan has no christian history and is very civil and orderly and peaceful. more or less the same values we have, with some kooky cultural differences.

    these christian values can come from a secular place just fine

    Don’t majority of the Japanese practice Shintoism though?


    Also, they don’t import lots of other races and culture.

    if they do practice shintoism that supports my point that they dont need christianity for morality and values.

    they only marginally care about religion. same way i celebrate christmas but dont actually care about it.

    true. it is weird how they are incredibly racist and closed to outsiders and nobody really gives them any shit for it. we americans are forced to let illegals take our shit or we are called nazis

    i think like 99% of them are ethnic japanese and they want to keep it that way. if they did that and were white the UN would send blue helmets in to shoot them

    Oh my point was that it is still a religion.

    well lots of people seem to think that all our morality and civility comes from american judeo-christian values. soemtimes they even specifically say protestant american work ethic and freedom.

    i think these values are perfectly rational and require no religious bedrock to justify

    With political conventions canceled the candidates will make speeches from the home or home areas. Trump mentioned making his acceptance speech from the White House. Crazy Aunt Nancy went ballistic, saying the White House should never be used for a political speech or political purpose.
    Guess she is okay with using the halls of Congress for it though.

    Have you no historical knowledge at all? Are you 9 years old? See there was this event called WWII. Those "civilized japs" weren't so orderly and civilized on December 7, 1942. Well we eventually "civilized" them with a couple civilzers Tojo.

    When I was in Japan, 1977 - 1980, used to ride the train back and forth to Tokyo. I clearly remember one evening getting on a car that was practically empty. At some point I noticed three old men staring at me. We were the only ones in the car. They looked totally pissed off. Their stares did not waiver. Everytime I glanced their way, I got the same look full of hate.

    I figured they were either WWII vets, or they all had lost someone. Twas the only time in Japan I picked up that vibe. I was glad when they departed the train, one stop before mine in Yokuska. Every time I went back the other way, I checked out closely the people that got on at that stop.
