If Jesus came into the US, he would be crucified for being a "poor woke immigrant communist" (read this as: not okay with the exploitation)
Christianity is a vile, violent, and horribly divisive religion. Its also a pedophilia cult.
huh.
% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact they've clearly fucked up something.
According to this, per 10,000 people:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/homelessness-by-country
That's what I figured they meant.
07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Never mind that, what does "07% per 100K" even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million
I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there's a statistic that's embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they're gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.
In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: "those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives."
So that doesn't include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 'net café refugees' in Tokyo alone.
Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they've narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.
yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.
I'm not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I'll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN
I've lived in three different major Japanese cities and see fewer people sleeping rough in a year than I can see in an hour in either Europe or the US.
Fuck proselytizing religions. No, I won't join your stupid fucking cult. Fuck right off.
Do you want to talk about Satan?
We enjoy sex, responsible drug use and rock and roll.
Fuck all religion. No I don’t want to reject reality to play make believe.
Naw, my religion is cool. I'm a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.
What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?
I was really wondering about that phrasing. So weird.
That's what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It's basic math.
To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?
First time I've actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it's not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?
When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.
And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.
Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.
Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.
Data says otherwise. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country
Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official "sleeping on the streets" numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they're official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don't have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.
I just woke up, but I don't think the unit should be percentage per 100k people. Otherwise, I agree with the statement though.
Not only that, 07 > 5.7, I assume missing a decimal point. Their heart is in the right place, their keyboard is all over the place.
I guess not having many Jesus cult members helps
07%/100000
Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.
Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I've spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.
correlation is not causation, the reason why they have less murders is probably not Christianity (for example they have way stricter gun control)
edit: after rereading the post I don't think the other person is tryng to argue that Christianity is causing murder and whatnot, so ignore above paragraph
also wouldn't it make complete sense for Japan to have way less Christians since they were isolated for so long and have their own religious beliefs
Also, Christianity was banned for quite awhile.
Heartbroken because it should be 0%?
Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
