Japan should tell that old fraud to stay the hell out of their country. Remember what happened last time they teamed up with a Nazi?

Bullit

They didn’t team up, they are just cowards who side with the stronger, just like nowadays, they side with the strongers, tables have turns you know. What does he want exactly, start a crusade in Japan? Promote pedophilia?

You’re all hypocrites for defaming the holy father. Your souls are as black as coals!

That is why you can’t stand the thought of a heathen country like Japan becoming Catholic.

I pray for Japan, that she moves out of her erring ways, ways that will end up with suicides, low birth rates, social withdrawal and ignorance.

You can all attack me; I don’t care, I’m here to piss you off, if you disagree with me and have wicked hearts.

No amount of reasoning will stop us. Religion is a force to stay, and you will all submit or die in the maelstrom.

“You can all attack me; I don’t care…”

Of course you don’t – That’s where the phrase, “Ignorance is bliss,” comes from.

What you (unfortunately) don’t understand is that your idea of religion is a rather new and nothing like what religion was like in the past. Religion is a fluid philosophy that changes shape drastically and often to adapt with the state of society.

“No amount of reasoning will stop us.”

No, because you can’t reason with mindless irrationality.

Yaaaaaaay <3 misanthropic trolling zealots… Honestly, do you people have nothing better to do than go around making asinine comments at people online on boards that wouldn’t even be a “fringe interest” of a “social champion” such as yourself?

“No amount of reasoning will stop us.”

Yes, because there is no reasoning with insane, inane, simps like yourself. Japan doesn’t care if you pray for it, no one does. We will all simply go on living in reality and you can avoid walking under ladders or drown black cats or whatever hokum you people think manipulates cosmology in your favor.

Oh,

I guess there isn’t going to be an election for the next couple of months then.
