No I'm not anti-Japan at all. It was interesting that only the Japanese came close to genocide (which isn't the right term as we're talking about creed) corcerning Christians. Obviously all other beliefs had something to fear from Christianity and monotheism in general. Especially since many Christian movements tended to be (is this the right word?) solipsistic. What I mean is that many of them felt they had to drag others into their belief in order to 'save' them -- save them from hell or save them from being 'savages'? I'm not clear on that...
Well I'm not x-tian either -- I was totally anti-christian for awile but now I'm more accepting of the spiritual side of it rather than the dogmatic.
