    Wait, wait, wait.

    Talk all the shit you want about how people twist the meanings of the book/religion, there are some very good stories in the Bible.

      To be fair there is also the suicide rate.

      Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?

      First time I've actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it's not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?

        Never mind that, what does "07% per 100K" even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million

        The "%" is unnecessary, yeah. Iā€˜m guessing she meant "0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum"

          a simple math says: 0.7/100*100 000 = 0.7 * 1 000 = 700
          so, 700 on 100k people

            When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.

            And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.

            Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.

              yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.

              I'm not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I'll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN

                the f*ck are you talking about, it's simple reduction
                I can't belive there adults that can't pass second grade math

                If you need I can draw it for you like you do it in kindergarten

                0.7% can be written as 0.7/100 or 7/1 000 and you can then do one of following:

                (0.7/100)100 000 = 0.7(100 000/100) = 700
                or
                (7/1 000)100 000 = 7(100 000/1 000) = 700

                      Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.

                        07%

                        This is why punctuation is important.

                        Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.

                        Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.

                        Relevant Wikipedia article:

                        ~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate~~

                        And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.

                        Edit: That Wikipedia article may have been written by ChatGPT cause the actual total number of homicides in all of Japan in 2022 was 853.

                          Japan : 17.4/100k

                          USA. : 15.6/100K

                          2021 stats from wikipedia

                          Does that help?

                            You know, you can just say "supernaturalism" instead of "religion". The two are not synonymous. You can have religion without supernaturalism, such as non-theistic Satanism and some forms of Buddhism. You can have supernaturalism without religion, which describes many New-Agers. I'm sure you've heard people say "I'm spiritual, but not religious", and that's what they mean by that. There are people who believe in souls and reincarnation and stuff like that, but they don't have a religion built around it.

                            In the case of non-theistic Satanism, there is a moral code, a set of beliefs, and a community of people with shared values, as well as holidays and rituals. Just nothing supernatural.

                            You cannot, but please do show this supposedly zero make-believe form of Buddhism.

                            Exactly, it's a club not a religion.

                              I don't view christianity as a real religion tbh. Maybe way back when it was but nowadays it's just a way for fragile suburbanites to justify their victim complex and bigotry.
