suppose that the time comes when we are finally able to open a gateway to Gensoukyou, what will you do? try to list 3 things, more if necessary.
for me it will be:
1. Pay respect to Hakurei and Moriya shrines, to express my gratitude for being able to go there and ask both Reimu and Sanae how I can protect myself and navigate Gensoukyou efficiently for number 2
2. Visit as many 2hu girls as possible to do as many things as possible
3. Wander aimlessly, mainly around human settlement and if possible dangerous places like old hell

its implied heavily, SSiB makes mention that the only one that can really outclass Eirin when it comes to making medicine is Daikouku, a genuine god of medicine.
Considering that cancer is curable now using current methods it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the brain of the moon and a women who's ability is to 'make any medicine' would be able to cure cancers.

Hell if you wanna get into it Inaba of moon/earth outrightly shows that she can whip up drugs that affect cell division and thus DNA by making monster fish and quick growing bamboo. Yeah it was a gag manga but it goes to show that her medicine can be used to treat the underlying cause of cancer itself

That is confined to the hotsprings that connect to hell though, vengeful spirits are kept at bay and maintained by the Oni and Satoris. Its not like vengeful spirits are just hiding behind every bush waiting to fill your kid with lead paintchips.
Though yeah surveillance is an issue, it is limited though. Yukari has to use the Zaras for that and there aren't enough for every house, as well they do provide benefits for their hosts so its not actually a negative.

Isn't the Outside World devoid of religion? Especially by Merry's time. I recall lore stating that outside worlders are all about science and not magic or faith. Even if that isn't the case you still have other religions with massive amounts of followers. Like Hinduism. The thing about Kanako is interesting. If she can break into the Outside World she could easily amass followers by demonstrating her power. She's also forward thinking when it comes to technology.

Does it matter though? They worship the same God. Anyway. Kanako would make a better leading God. YHWH wasn't even the chief God of their pantheon and they don't even do anything for the world. If Kanako showed up in the outside world she could probably gain a lot more faith, considering she's not branded a demon by the abhramists and the hindus

Kanako was in the outside world, and whatever she was doing she evidently couldn't compete with her fellow gods and had to leave for Gensokyo or there was so little faith in general all of them except for the big ones have left earth.
For the Abrahamic god, we don't know much about what he's up to in touhou, although in SoPM westernization is directly correlated with the loss of power and youkai, so you could attribute that to him.
So while we say Kanako could become super powerful, she clearly failed either way you look at it and had to move to a more favorable environment.

Ran would be glad that Chen has a friend to play with that isn't a corpse stealer teaching her weird things. A Human friend is also desirable as you can teach her lots of morals and life lessons. Such as insight into how Humans think, learning restraint and control because Humans are relatively fragile, and understanding of mortality as you grow older and eventually* die. Having a good head on your shoulders is good for Ran since she can trust you to keep an eye on her and other things while she's busy doing Yukari's job. Being Chen's pet Human/parent can have its perks as well. You have Chen (a perk in of itself), access to Ran's cooking and wisdom, security from more violent Youkai who would do you harm, and you don't necessarily need to feed Youkai your fear. So long as you don't be a retard and try to rock the boat (this is why there is surveillance on the Humans), you'll have a nice life.

He is omnipotent and your point is a bit ignorant! You mustn't take Genesis too literally!
This auxiliary quoted line words it best:
>Why six days specifically? The Bible often correlates the six days of creation and seventh day of rest with our work week. God often does things with several goals in mind. We get the idea of a week from the creation week. God likes to do things in an orderly fashion. Before there was time, He decided He will divide time into weeks. And that it would be good if the creatures he creates can do something for six days and then rest and recharge for a day. And then He thought it would be good to do an example of what a work week should look like by doing His work in six days and then resting.

There has to be something that also "nullified" those gods going by touhou logic since if not the world would never had lost using divine powers.
Heck maybe the religions would have evolved completely different and the world would probably ended dominated by a single deity.
There should be some reason for this not to happen, like:
1. The remaining gods of the outside world agreed to not interact with humans
2. Hyping up your god to omnipotence is counterintuitively harmful to a god
3. Religion having less and less direct influence on the living world and more on the afterlife counts as loosing faith.
4. Having multiple gods with different identities/names is also harmful somehow.

Muslims are a weird one since they dont acknowledge jesus nearly as much as christians do (this makes things very complicated if you take jesus and god as being the same) And Allah is still different to the ''same'' god that Christians worship. There are a lot of differences between Islam and Christianity.
>i am pretty sure there are more abrahamists in the world than those other people you mentioned.
Yes. But the difference isnt nearly as staggering as people think. Especially if smaller religions are included. Kanako would make for a better leading god. She actually earns her faith by providing material and immaterial (magic/faith) things to her followers. She's also adapting to the modern world by becoming a god of technology.
>>45322379
Christians flip flop on what is literal and what isn't. Is Jesus not literal? Is what he did in his life metaphorical? And yes i know of the symbolic significance of our work week and how its used to rationalize why an omnipotent being took 6 days to do something that ought to be done in an instant. Doesn't change the fact that he rested on the seventh day. An omnipotent being should not rest. There's a difference between ''i will cease working and set an example for all beings to also cease working on this day but im totally not tired'' vs ''Damn, 6 fucking days. Im taking it easy on the 7th.'' No amount of ''its not literal'' will change that. Then there's the iron chariot bullshit but thats another can of worms.
>by doing his work in six days and then resting.
Resting: cease work or movement in order to relax, sleep, or recover strength.
Even says as such there. Unless you want to say he pretended to rest? Or that he artificially made himself tired? That would not make any sense at all and isnt stated. Literally just work then do nothing on the seventh day. These rationalizations are absurd. Ill dare to call them copes, even.

The Hebrew word translated “rested” in Genesis 2:2 includes other ideas than that of being tired. In fact, one of the main definitions of the Hebrew word shabat is “to cease or stop.” In Genesis 2:2 the understanding is that God “stopped” His work; He “ceased” creating on the seventh day. All that He had created was good, and His work was finished.

It's a problem with all hidden fantasy settings, personally I don't find any of the explanations fully satisfying, it's just a convention or trope of the genre that exists because of thematic reasons.
But for youkai, the most satisfactory explanation for me is that as they are defined by their relationship with humanity, particularly as the embodiment of human fears, they naturally inhabit areas not suitable for humans or are dangerous.
Thus as humanity expands the range of youkai shrink, and vice versa. While theoretically the top tier youkai could have prevented this, they didn't for their own reasons, and either live in the shadows of the outside world, or have migrated to places where they can have more control over their fate, rather than just being the doomed eternal enemy of humans.
But of course as has been stated in cannon, new kinds of youkai will fill the gap left behind, and with the urban legends emerging this seems true enough.

>> No.45325541

>>45323297
If I had to guess, I would assume it's a combination of 1, 3, and 4. Most of the remaining gods have largely pulled back from direct interference (Though we are only 500 years away from God sending a personal fox to a French peasant). The change in how people perceive religion has had a negative influence. And religious schisms have made everything very complicated.

>>45325231
It's a issue with urban fantasy as a whole, yeah. Though Touhou is nowhere near as bad as, say, Harry Potter. It's just not as insanely autistic as, say, the Nasuverse.

>But for youkai, the most satisfactory explanation for me is that as they are defined by their relationship with humanity, particularly as the embodiment of human fears, they naturally inhabit areas not suitable for humans or are dangerous.
I think they tended to mostly stick to backwards region of the world. Though, to a certain extent I also have to believe that disbelief cancels out belief. Otherwise, it's hard to understand why, say, the Brazilian rainforest doesn't have whatever the native American version of Youkai in it.

>While theoretically the top tier youkai could have prevented this,
I don't think they could have. Try and remember that, far as we can tell, most of the actual top tier of youkai are dead. I mean, Suika is still alive but she is most likely a pale shadow of Shuten at her peak. Basically: I think the actual struggle was ended a long time ago. Most of the youkai that are left essentially survived just by hiding and not causing too much of a fuss.

The early jews were called polytheists and struck by God for their offenses of worshiping many false idols and offering profane sacrifices. The book of kings goes very often into the jews lack of faith and their profaining of holy things. it doesn't matter if you are the "chosen people" or not, if you fuck it up badly, you get corrected, severely, be it Calamities, 12 Roman legions, 1527 Sack of rome, endless Protestant schism.

Surely there must be some kind of leads for this, in all seriousness. Then again, it world be hard to sift through all the "new age" and larp stuff to find the real deal, and then it's an uphill battle as to "why" any of us would be better than what they already have going for them on the transport side of things. However, one thing that can be said is that the Old Adam bar is timeless considering the owner is THE Adam and even has a tree in the place that may or may not be just an allegorical apple tree (or maybe I'm basing that part off of fan works, so ignore if inaccurate).

Still, we know Yukari doesn't have infinite reach with her abilities and had to travel to find the hobgoblins, so it can be at least implied that there is some form of global scale interworkings for the paranormal/supernatural and that its not just a small, localized group somewhere in the Outside. Evidence for this is that the area surrounding Gensokyo is "dead" nature-wise, because the fairies of the area that makes up the border left, leaving it to die (intentional or not).

And Remilia ended up with a Chupacabra, which is known to inhabit the South American continent, and even could be said to territorially run up into the Southern US and slightly up the SE coast/gulf. But then again, that whole area is known for "vampire-like" beings, and there's plenty of counties that it could have moved to/been smuggled to before the procurement of the SDM contacts. Not sure where I'm going with this, but suffice to say that if I ever got a chance to run into these groups and didn't run risk of being on the chopping block, I'd definitely try to work with them in some way, with the stipulation that I can make it safely into(and maybe out of) Gensokyo, if only just to visit certain people I care about.

Good sir you are the retard. You do not even understand the words you use. What does rest mean or imply? Especially after 6 long days of work? This has been said before but it bears repeating ''cease work or movement in order to relax, sleep, or recover strength.''
The idea of him needing to rest and setting an example is not at all incompatible with each other and if anything might add weight to what he wanted to convey. Also why do you use rest in place of cease or stop like the other anon did? Im starting to think that it has a dual meaning of both stopping work but also resting as a result of that work.

Would be neat if there was some sort of SCP foundation or men in black organization that hides all the supernatural things.
Even funnier if they just swept away stuff into other dimensions to not have to deal with it and called it a day, I mean at least in mythology and magical setting it seems way easier to vanish or seal magical beings than to kill them.

Wonder if they also have some make people forget type of magic at hand or if they just they just do things like saying that the chupacabra some passerby saw in the night was just some dog in a dino costume.
At least in modern times covering stuff could be easier since people do stuff like putting costumes on dogs and shit like that.

I guess that being able to go in and out while most people don't even know of it's existence is probably the best unless you really have no one left in this word that cares about you or you care about( which should increase your chances to get there anyways).
