Do East Asians understand Christianity at all? Every kind of Christianity from the region is just some combination of a cult of personality and being the brother of Jesus Christ.
>>217694640idk but a christian gave us our current alphabet. i've never read the bible cuz that shit's boring
>>217694640Japan has Orthodox churches
>>217694640>Do Franks and Anglo-Saxons understand Christianity at all?
I try to avoid getting involved with Abrahamic religions.
>>217694640It is what happens when you force a people who simultaneously believe in multiple faiths to suddenly become dogma obsessed monotheists. Filipino Chinese Christians for example are basically polytheists who worship Jesus alongside their Ancestors and Immortals.What makes Korean Christianity cookier than Chinese Or Japanese Christianity is being under the influence of the worst type of Christians: American Evangelicucks
>>217695039Protestant churches in Korea are losing followers because younger people won't fuck with that retarded shit. Buddhism and Catholicism are holding pretty steady but not gaining share.
>>217695068Good.
yeah, kinda. i just see christianity when white people are really kind
>>217694640christianism is europoor why would east asians care
east asians are innately collectivist/authoritarian/totalitarian. it takes arduous effort for them to truly learn what freedom, individual, agency, responsibility etc is. naturally they interpret christianity as an authoritarian cult and god as some tyrant overlord whom demands absolute obedience all the time. it's more like islam, what they consider "christianity" is.
>>217697096Christianity is browner than islam
East Asians adopted Buddhism not because they believed in the truths that Buddhism proclaimed but because they thought that Buddhist texts and objects had powerful magic and would bless them
>>217694640asians don't give a fuck about Christianity
>>217699872I mean they have a big Christian following in some countries
>>217700535some, you fucking retard. and even there it's a minority.
>>217701105It's huge in Korea for example. Why are you seething, incel?
>>217701192most Koreans have no religion though you retard?
korean catholics are fine and less cultish, protestant freaks are the worst and they have like 1000000 different cult sects with different names who all love israel
>>217694640Jesus is Japanese. His brother died on the cross, and Jesus fled back to Japan to become a rice farmer and pass away of old age.
>>217701670Actually Jesus went to america
>>217701233Let's hope that changes
>>217702289why would that ever change? nobody cares aboout meme shit like religion there
>>217694640idk but part of the sell of Christianity in Asia has always been the fact that it comes with the Western/White cultural baggage, or "bonus" as some might see it. That definitely plays a part in how it is viewed, especially by those who choose to participate in Christianity later in their life.
>>217703840>why would that ever change?Missionaries
>>217698284Makes sense
>>217694679that's pretty based desu
>>217694640Do europeons?
>>217708056you tell us
>>217694679We have significant number of Russian immigrants. churches are for them
>>217708765I've seen orthodox Japanese priests
>>217694640The shogun persecuted Christianity, so hardly anyone knows much about it.There might be some in Nagasaki, but I've never even been to Kyushu, so I wouldn't know.
>>217694640There are many Christians in China who genuinely care about social justice, giving to the needed, pro-intellectual and not bootlicking the government. Two are quite famous in fact, they are respectively a lawyer and a supermarket entrepreneur. Both regularly donate tremendous money for charity and other acts of kindness. (罗翔 胖东来 if you want to research)I'm not sure if many Christians in the West today still do that. From what I observe, many are only focusing on having a sense of power, and when it comes to morality it's the most petty and shallow topics like LGBT. Of course, I can be wrong here, so I'm happy to hear about such people.
>>217711696>胖东来Meant for 于东来. 胖东来 is the supermarket that he operates.
>>217694640Christianity is intrinsically unintuitive and impossible to understand.
