/jp/ - Otaku Culture

JEWS

Hey /jp/ I'll bet you five bucks that ZUN makes a Jesuit Touhou, throwing Catholicism into Gensokyo's impending shitstorm of religious conflict.

I was playing Civilization 5 the other day, and I chose Shinto as my religion, in honor of the Shrine Maiden in red.

No one wanted by religion, even in my own country I had trouble spreading it out. When I tried spreading to other civs, I got constant bullshit complaints, which led to 3 wars and my fucking demise.

Fuck you Reimu. And fuck you Shintoists.

>>10250220
Amakusa Shiro Touhou when?

>>10250220
Wasn't Rumia a catholic?

Mongolians believed in a mixture of Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist religion. Are they allowed in Gensokyo?

>>10250232
St. Francis Xavier is more moe~

>>10250234
What the hell makes you think that?

>>10250236
Why don't they just add a Touhou that raapes and pillages all the time?

>>10250239
In EoSD, she stuck out her arms like a cross, and even Reimu pointed it out.

>>10250242
>Why don't they just add a Touhou that raapes and pillages all the time?

>>10250203
>Jews

All deserve to die.

>>10250242
Reimu and Marisa
Pillage all the time~
Now, if one of them starts raping canonically then...

>>10250242
The Japanese had crosses before Christianity was introduced. They used to crucify people too.

And anyway all Christians use the cross as a symbol, not just Catholics.

>>10250236
Eh I'm pretty sure that Mongolians maintained their own Shamanistic beliefs similar to Shinto but completely distinct from it. And I guess they probably adopted elements of Buddhism and Taoism from the Chinese at some point.

>>10250232
Wikipedia says that Japanese Catholics consider him a saint but it doesn't say if the Vatican has even beautified him yet.

I thought that martyrs were automatically beautified though. If his rebellion were to fight against religious repression wouldn't that make him a martyr?

>>10250228
I thought that Civ 5 got rid of religion for some bullshit reason?

>>10250274
>The Japanese had crosses before Christianity was introduced. They used to crucify people too.
>JAPAN INVENTED CROSSES!

>>10250350
>JAPAN INVENTED CROSSES!

They did, independently of everyone else who also invented crucifixion as a means of execution.

>>10250377
>They did
I can't see any sources.

>>10250315
They honestly should and I wish they did.
But I guess they don't care much about the silly orientals.

>>10250387
>But I guess they don't care much about the silly orientals.

Actually there are already a lot of Japanese saints.

>>10250228
I played with Shintoism too and all my cities got replaced with fucking Islam because Arabs.

>>10250228
>>10250411
On Civ IV I try to found all of the major religions myself, that way I dominate the other civs culturally and they don't get a choice what to believe.

>>10250220
>Christian Nun touhou
>Instead of the stick Reimu and Sanae use, she uses a rule
>She hits everybody with say rule in the head for petit reasons

It will be like being in school again!

>>10250459
There was only one nun at my school. She was very nice and never hit anyone.

>>10250387
Maybe they're just taking forever like they did with Joan of Arc. Everyone knew that she was a saint but the Vatican didn't get around to canonizing her for like 500 years.

>>10250496
You were in luck then, mine just hit everybody for shitty reasons
>Be right handed
>Get hit by rule for using the "devil's hand"

>>10250274
>And anyway all Christians use the cross as a symbol, not just Catholics.

Yup. It's the crucifix, or other images of God, which is disputed.

Some Orthodox Catholics consider this guy a saint and he's not been canonized yet either.

Hey do Buddhists have any sort of canonization process for their saints?

>>10250647
Sainthood in Orthodoxy does not work the same way. A person is known to be a saint through the veneration that comes from the people. The Church recognizing a person as a saint is only a stamp of approval, so to speak, that gives assurance from God about the saint in question. There is also no progression of sainthood like in Catholicism (servant of God, venerable, blessed, saint).

>>10250198
I bet if the entirety of human village converts to either atheism or solipsism, Gensoukyou would collapse.

>A person is known to be a saint through the veneration that comes from the people. The Church recognizing a person as a saint is only a stamp of approval, so to speak, that gives assurance from God about the saint in question.

That's originally how it worked with Roman Catholicism too. The Vatican must have adopted the multi-step canonization process after the Orthodox/Roman split.

>>10250705
Mostly because people kept wanting to turn pagan gods into saints.

>>10250705
Yeah, in my opinion the Orthodox Church has a much clearer connection to the early church through its traditions. Biblically I tend to think Calvinism is the most accurate interpretation, though.

>>10250228
The first game I played after installing Gods & Kings, I elected to spread Judaism to the peoples of the world

It worked marvelously

>>10250716
I always make a custom religion and they work fine, too.

>>10250719
I always like poopism.
...heh

>>10250198
I got killed by Hakurei Reimu's massive balls.

>>10250697
Gensokyo doesn't rely on human village's faith but on the _absence of faith_ in the outside world.

Each time you believe in Gensokyo you hurt your Touhou.

>>10250647
In Zen, if you get your life or sayings commented on poetically, that is as good as it gets.

>>10250402
Hmmm, that's pretty neat. I didn't know that.
Christianity has a pretty interesting history in Japan, wish ZUN would look into it more game-wise.

Some of my distant relatives were missionaries in Japan. The only one still alive grew up in Japan in the 1930's and learned Japanese before English. Funny for a white kid. Eventually they moved back to the states and he learned English back here and was a big time translator during WWII.

I think it's neat that he still talks in the much older, formal, and more polite Japanese. Japanese folk are real respectful of him and he always schools my ass in the language.
At first I thought I was the first member of my family to learn an East-Asian language, but nope. He kicked my ass pretty hard in it when I found out.

>_absence of faith_
Emphasize that on Gensoukyou humans.
