Personally I only tolerate what I agree with….

But being selectively anti-Christian is just so *cool* ! Look how progressive, mature and PC it makes people like LL and Karasu look!

Being agnostic myself, organised religion is not my bag. But I say each to his own, so long as it doesn’t harm other people. So good on him.

I’ve heard this man speak and read one of his books. He’s pretty cool.

I guess I should be surprised at the bigotry by some of the comments here on JP but I’m not. I thought readers of JP were more enlightened than this. Ironically, the anti-Christian comments here are from people who probably consider themselves “tolerant”. Selective tolerance is a more appropriate term.

I feel pity for the man.

I do hope he finds salvation there.

Shame his past will catch up to send to him to his Christian Hell.

I’ll be laughing from my stock right here on planet Earth. All you religious freaks can get off my planet.

If you’ve got God, what more do you need? You don’t need anything if you’ve got God. So go with your God and leave the rest of us sane Earthlings alone and get off this planet and take your poison with you.

Buh-Bye.

Wow, you people are ridiculous. The man found happiness and fulfillment in his life, just be happy for him!

So he moved from one criminal organization to another criminal organization. I don’t see what’s so newsworthy about that.

Yupp. At least we can be grateful that Western religion doesn’t have the same foothold in Japan that it has in Korea.

That’s a pretty inimical, bombastic comment.

Einstein and Hitler had a lot of parallels, too. That doesn’t equate them to each other, though.

Hm, well it’s just natural progression I guess. Organized crime and western organized religion have a lot of parallels, like most people in both are stupid and easily duped, they both give false hope to idiots, both are antiquated and for people with archaic methods of thinking, not progressives….
