% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact they've clearly fucked up something.

correlation is not causation, the reason why they have less murders is probably not Christianity (for example they have way stricter gun control)
edit: after rereading the post I don't think the other person is tryng to argue that Christianity is causing murder and whatnot, so ignore above paragraph
also wouldn't it make complete sense for Japan to have way less Christians since they were isolated for so long and have their own religious beliefs

This part of 'what your bible says about murder and poor people' makes it sound like the writer of the response believes it's causational but i think they were just offended and not trying to make a scientifically sound argument. And i would understand that.
It's almost racist because of how the first post makes Christianity sound like something superior. As if the Japanese being different in their believe makes them less.

Exactly this. Although Japanese rulers haven't always been very peaceful, their culture is known for being caring and respectful towards others where as Americans are by many people seen as loud and obnoxious (also positive things, but i'm not trying to make a comparison between two cultures as a whole), making this comment about Japanese adoption of Christianity not only come across as ignorant but also very arrogant.

Also, Christianity was banned for quite awhile.

It's more a statement of the state of Christianity in the United States, where in a lot of congregations the actual teachings of Jesus have taken a back seat to gun culture and right wing politics.
She's saying that the Japanese are better Christians than Americans, despite not even being Christians.

A Japanese guy used a 3d printed gun to undermine a christian cult in Japan.

"Beat your swords into plowshares," says Isaiah. Yet, here we are, with congregations of people who feel that "there's nothing wrong with being a soldier."
God's first commandment? Yeah apparently that doesn't mean shit if the other party is a stinky brownskin. I do not see a legal addendum on the Ten Commandments.
"1. Thou Shalt Not Kill ***†"
***† only in participating stores, offer good til Labor Day, see appendix for list of people it's totally cool to kill

Do you want to talk about Satan?
We enjoy sex, responsible drug use and rock and roll.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'm with you, but you're talking about something like the 6th commandment depending on how you're counting
Edit: the first one is the "you shall have no other gods before me" bit, with the lines drawn for exactly where each commandment starts and stops drawn in different places for different factions, but I digress. I still agree with your point and I'll stop typing more now.

All hail Satan!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.

Naw, my religion is cool. I'm a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.

Ya might be a good point but it’s a distracting mess
Thankfully we already know a little bit about both of our situations so we get the gist

So you genuinely believe Satan exists and has influence in the world? Where does he live under the Earths mantle?
Because that is entirely at odds with everything we know about reality.

I'm heartbroken too. Anything over 0 is a failure of public education
