Anger, wrath, malice, railing and obscene speech.

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right.
The righteous will walk in them, but the rebellious will stumble in them.

Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent;

Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun.
And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them;
And on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

How solitary it sits, the city abounding with people!
She who was once great among the nations now sits alone like a widow.
She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
Who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
Who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
Whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
For drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness.

I approve of this, touhou and the Bible seem to go really well together in a very strange way.

I 'dunno, maybe it's just refreshing to read all that and be like "yeah, I know those verses." All the while I'm on /jp/, proving that Christianity and what some (at least other Christians) would consider too worldly need not be mutually exclusive.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.

[Anonymous No.]

Shouldn't christians hate touhou? It's based almost entirely on real world myths, religion and beliefs yet ZUN still chooses ignore the abrahamic religions for the most part.

why we should hate 2hu? do you think all of us are the same? or that we are close minded? zun already used some elements before.

Henceforth brethren, rejoice;
Be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace,
And love and peace shall be with you.

Why do people assume that god can be deciphered in any way by minds simpler than it? Gods made by humans are just humanity trying to impose its own moralities onto the universe.

On Japanese myths, the origins of which are pretty far removed from the Abrahamic religions.

Prophecy. Those who believe in God believe that God tells certain people certain things about himself.

Hindus and Buddhists who may not explicitly believe in God believe that the divine cosmos speaks to some people in a sort of similar way.
