Discussion huh?
Well, on the subject

Ofcourse, some new users are fine. It's the problem when there's more new incoming users than old users to teach them what's acceptable in our happy elitist community. That's when shit starts to suck.

Christmas yes, but I´m not so sure about Easter.

And they don´t talk about Jesus, just Santa. It´s the extreme version of our ¨secular holiday¨ Christmas.

I don't care much for their Shintoism. It's so crassly "buy luck," nothing but commercialized Superstition.

They may do Christianity well simply because, when a Japanese is a Christian, it's because he CHOSE it, not because he was born into it. Those people take religion more seriously than your average "Easter-only" Catholic.

I agree. After all, religious tolerance is the cornerstone of civilization. If we can't enjoy our religion, what is the point in living? Unfortunately as I look through my terribly unorganized folders it appears that most of my religious material is a bit too extreme for such polite discourse as this, so I'm not sure how much I can contribute.

I believe strongly in human potential and I have enough reasons to believe that supernatural things are possible. I have faith in a higher "All-Powerful" being because of certain experiences, but I would settle with everything in the universe being connected by something, source or not.
