Need to learn to move on earlier in the future.

So the narcissistic culture cultivated on social media has finally spread to gaming. Congrats, Patricia, on being such a trailblazer in the "selfie-fication" of video games. This is the second saddest article I've ever read on this site, topped only by your piece excoriating a game about female masturbation for not…

I'm loving that the PS4 is getting several PC games. They're not even PC games now, it'll be PC/PS4 :P

No, not true.. Catholic churches will not hold weddings for atheists couples. I know because I am in the process of getting married in the Catholic church. They are incredibly stringent and actively discourage interfaith marriages. Even with inter-christian arraignment the church will not always sign off on it. I have…

This is offensive to Christians. This building is a mock up of a place Christians gather to worship God, the Creator of all things. You have a women who is herself made in the image of God (Gen 1:27) and because of that, beautiful, deciding she knows better than God what real beauty is. She is an idolater (holding in…

You probably won't get much traction here, since ridiculing Protestants and Catholics is still on the politically correct list.

My wife is all for it too. She's of the general standing that she has her beliefs, I have mine and everyone else has theirs. If that belief is that another culture can pillage parts of it then fine. IMO.

Ok, so would weddings there not count in the eyes of Christian God?

It is surprising that you can live in a Japan, yet be so ridiculously out of touch with how the Japanese, as a culture, interact with religion.

Showing support for communism is not the same as showing support for historical followers of communism who've committed grave atrocities. Taking offense to someone being a communist due to the actions of Mao or Stalin would be like taking offense to someone respecting Japanese culture due to the atrocities the…

Not all priests are pedophiles so having them in there would be perpetuating an offensive stereotype, and stuff like that I do not like, at least not in my entertainment, since that is how you get persecution and other bad stuff like that, you know like the good old stories about Jews drinking baby blood.

Well the Japanese are kinda know for not being the most politically correct people(form a westerners point of view).

I think it's totally fine for them to do it. Most people that go to "real" churches go there out of fear and obligation anyways. Most people that go to real churches also don't practice the ideals of their beliefs except for when they go to church. I've seen people who behave like perfect angels while in church, and…

It's Japan, even with their own religions they usually only pay token attribute. Tons of people crowd the shrines on New Years and other holidays, but ask your average Japanese person what they really believe, and you get a blank response.

To me it seems he's adressing more the superficiality of these people. I can completely understand not being influenced by religion, not worshipping anything, etc, but would it not make sense for those people to not go to Church?

I can't imagine it in America but I can in Japan. We, as Americans, forget way to often that other countries don't have the same religious, puritanical, hangups as the rest of the world. We don't even have the same as the British, who are probably our nearest cousins.

Please stop using that quote out of context. It's incredibly irritating.

I really don't think they mean it to be offensive. It's more of an "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" situation. I know plenty of people who are agnostic or of a faith like Buddhism who were married in a church. Heck, I know protestant Christians who were married at the mission in Carmel (which is a…

Well...

I kind of have no compassion for such comments. Christianity, Catholicism in particular, has been very insistent on becoming part of culture. You claimed the winter solstice celebration, which pretty much all peoples ever celebrated. Now it is a Christian celebration. Weddings - Catholic churches will hold the wedding…
