/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Most of them are not religious anymore but they still keep Shinto traditions.

Christianity, Buddhism, shinto and every other mainstream religion.

Lots of cults too.

Google is one of the jap religions.

>the ones the serve now days

>>8198621

There are even Jews!

Mix of Shinto, Buddhist Schools, New religions clusterfuck and a bit of Christianity on the side (except for a few authentic groups it's more a fashion thing than anything) on top of very deeply set confucianist thought.

>>8198636
>Japanese jews

but jews are a race not a religion

>>8198642

Stupid goyim think they can join our ranks heh heh heh.

>>8198642
You can become a jew if you marry a jewish woman though.

>>8198637
More like shammanism of the week. It is a clusterfuck of new beliefs that change according to trends.

What's the title of that OP h-manga again? I remember it being pretty cool.

Wish I was a fat guy who gets to jam it in healthy Azu-nyan.

>>8198678
Pizza and the Little Bully

>>8198672

All except state shinto which seems to survive anything. But than again, state shinto isn't really much of a religion.

OK, as some of you already know I am one of /jp/'s resident jewpsies and since Jones is waiting for you over at /bun/ I figured I'd step in to clear up a few myths about Jews.

I don't even have to check. I know there's a Wikipedia article titled "Religion in Japan" or "Japanese religion". Why wouldn't you consult that first?

Pt. 1 : Jew Golds

Short answer is yes, it exists and it's ours.

Long answer is a bit deeper than that, I'm afraid. Since before the dawn of Christianity we have been slowly draining the banks of pagans and (later) Gentiles using covert agents posing as members of that particular faith. The Crusades were launched in order to fund the thirtieth Jewmaster's (think of him as a Jewish pope) frankly Caligulian bar mitzvoh which was held in Rome and had much bitches.

We have been in control of the World Bank for some time now, much less Hollywood, the liberal and the conservative media.

>>8198718
So when are gonna nuke the arabs? I know the whole tension is not simply being tsundere over them.

>>8198743
Pt. 2 : The Media

As previously stated, we have taken over every aspect of the media so as to quietly throttle the information regarding the last six Jewmasters antics. I'll get back to that later.

Every aspect, and I mean EVERY aspect of not just Western but global media is controlled by us. We even have pet projects in Middle East that we fund simply for laughs because we can. It's not like we're worried about any of the actual content. We've been controlling you all with brain wave manipulation since the 30s.

PROTIP: Turn off the sound during commercials.

Nah, I'm just fuckin' with ya. We're doing it during the television programs also. lol XD

>>8198744

Never because they have to continue to pretend that they're powerless victims who need western support so their welfare checks keep coming in.

>>8198744
Wrong. We are deeply tsundere for Arab nations. Let's face it, we've shared blood with them for a long time anyway. The Gaza Strip is simply a sports arena for the current Jewmaster.

I wish the whole world was Buddhist. It's the only "religion" I've found myself to agree with. Except for that one Precept about intoxicants--what do so many religions have against alcohol?

>>8198763
How do you get people who don't watch television?

>>8198743
>>8198763
But I don't watch movies or TV. In over a decade my TV has only functioned for my SNES and PS1.

Am I the only one?

>>8198772
Gee, why do you think?

I despise alcoholics. I would set them on fire if I could.

y10nrdy a shit

>>8198782
Alcohol has never caused any problems. It alleviates suffering which is what Buddhists are all about!

Pt. 3 : The Jews and the Aliens

OK, this is gonna set a few of you back so prepare your anuses.

We've sold out to the aliens. In 1986 a series of flying saucers shaped like stars of David and filled with alien diplomats flew to Israel. I use the word diplomats loosely because really they were just a group of extraterrestrial riff-raff here to warn the Earth of an impending alien attack.

During the 90s the aliens and Israel were working together under the pretext of stymieing the imminent invasion. What was actually happening was Israel brokered a deal with the enemy faction of the alien peacemakers.

In the year 2016 the entire country of Israel as well as contested areas and Jews from all nations will be transported away from Earth to a utopian planet in another solar system once described to the Israeli government as "Sodom and Gomorrah with more chutzpah."

The rest of the world is fucked. Sorry.

>>8198782
i take it you mother was an alcoholic

>>8198782
What are you doing in /jp/, child?

>>8198795
Really, now.

>>8198795

True, but buddhism is also about improvement. You're supposed to deal with the suffering, not try to ignore it and hope it will go away.

Unfortunately I have no pics in the way of buddhist religious figures, so have a foxgirl getting pleasantly and moderately responsibly intoxicated for recreational purposes.

>>8198816
Nah. Both are sober. I have, however, grown in a place that exposes me to this vice. Seems that every story of tragedy here has addictions as the source.

Japan's religions look fun while others look like serious business and suffering.

>>8198807
>Sodom and Gomorrah
you know history repeats itself

Pt. 4 : The Jewmaster

One of the biggest secrets of the modern world is the existence of the Jewmaster.

The Jewmaster is a 43 year old former certified public accountant by the name of Hal Goldstein. The title of the Jewmaster is bestowed on one person at a time and his duties are largely symbolic. Along with the title he received a diamond-encrusted yamulkrown which gives its wearer the super powers of flight, super strength, telekinesis and invulnerability.

Unfortunately for the Jewmasters their invulnerability is external and does not protect against threats from within. The last six Jewmasters all died of acute cocaine and heroin intoxication and accidental overdose.

To quote the last words of the 651st Jewmaster, "Oy vey, boychik. Want I shouldna had that last speedball. What a meshugganah!"

>>8198841
Religion is a pasttime in japan.

>>8198851
Didn't San Francisco had that going before the majority of the gay population got wiped out?

I think over a decade ago they had a very heated debate on how public bathhouses were NOT to reopen due to health concerns, while the gay advocates said that it was branding homosexuals as libertines.

>>8198841
It doesn't look fun at all.

>>8198893
It is fun if you are one of those folks with large insertion fetish. Or like pictures of children sucking on sweets that look like penises.

The more I think about it, the more lewd Japan seems.

>>8198897
Actually it looks very primitive.

People stopped worshipping penis statues since the Dark age.

>People stopped worshipping penis statues since the Dark age.

A voice in the back of my mind laughs and whispers to me that this sort of thing will happen again.

I truly do believe the secular /trans-humanist movement will fail due to humanity being so damn retarded.

>>8198945
I like the Japanese model. Even if it means you have to revere a penis from time to time.

Secular humanism is so dreadfully uninspiring.

>>8198919

Sort of. All the abrahamic religions still treat anything that has to do with genetalia, semen, menstrual blood, childbirth and so forth as very serious business. At least according to scripture.
And apparently the foreskins of slain enemies should be considered legal currency.

>>8198957
There is nothing to like, it's retarded.
>>8198970
Yeah but they don't worship them.

>>8198977

Maybe it's just me, but it seems so much more logical to worship and celebrate the parts of your body associated with fertility and sexuality than to fear and loathe them.

Pic absolutely related.

>>8198970

Look at the size of those things. They're huge.

>>8199002
>ZUN!bar

>>8199002

Great Inari is a most generous deity.

>>8198970
>>8198994
If Shinto really did have sexy humanoid fox goddesses everyone would join it.

>>8199005

Indeed. It has been a long time since I've seen ears that large.

>>8198977
>There is nothing to like, it's retarded.
Well I'm sure convinced now.

>>8198994
Yes, it's you.

Both are stupid, but one actually doesn't seem so primitive and unsophisticated.

>>8199034
God forbid Anonymous thinks we're primitive and unsophisticated.

>>8199034
He is just propositioning a view, not spreading a new religion. Relax. This is not /sci/.

>>8199022
Well why don't you use some random pagan religion then?
It's the same thing.

>>8199047
There isn't a nation of a hundred fifty million people out there that's into druidism.

>>8199053
Oh ho ho ho.

>>8199060
I hate it to break it to you, but druidism hasn't been the primary religion of Europe for a few years now.

>>8199039
We?
>>8199044
I'm also propositioning a view.

>>8199068
They might as well be now, seeing how they have exchanged the mistletoe for pot!

HAHAHA.

But in all seriousness, spirituality is on a rise in Europe, and good ol' Mary Jane is being the patron goddess for it.

>>8199053
Why are you exhibiting those numbers?
I'm sure 95% of those people are not into something so stupid.

>>8199034

I think I lost how you defined sophistication in this context.

>>8199099
Most of Japan aren't really devout Shinto or Buddhists but they participate in the festivals, traditions, and customs anyway.

Which is good enough, since nobody cares about the boring part of religion.
