@Bananabuton I say this as a Christian myself, but yes, that Luke guy is a self-righteous jerk who treats everyone he’s been speaking to badly.
Ironically, he’s the type of people Jesus warned his followers against. You can see why.

こんな独善的で排他的でリスペクトに欠けた人間も排出してしまう宗教だから、日本では一神教に胡散臭さを感じて忌避する人が多いんだろうな
他所の文化の価値観や信じるものを『偽物』と辱め貶める事で自らを優位とする攻撃的な宗教に誰が心惹かれるんだ
この狂信者、キリスト教徒にとっても毒では

@HibinaKageori @Tomoejp1236 @NoWarChristian @bunburyoudoujp @CrusaderTraya That makes no sense. Islam and Shintoism are both false religions.

@RandomPe0n だから親愛なる友人。今、日本のSNSではキリスト教について炎上しています。
善意が日本のキリスト教徒の立場を悪くしています。
燃え盛る松明に水を掛けてください。
宗教に関係する話題を避けて、肉とBBQの話をすべきです。

日本人と交流したい全世界の人にお知らせします。日本人は「宗教の勧誘」をとても嫌います。本当に嫌われます。「自分の宗教はこうだ」はOK。「あなたも（日本）もこの宗教を…」と言った瞬間戦争になります。布教しなければ何を信じていても日本人は迫害しません。布教した瞬間、戦争になります。

@migakiseiten I mean, it can lead into that, but I don’t see why mentioning being Christian must necessarily lead to trying to convince the other to convert?

@itsapmseymour In short, they have green skin because… It’s a side effect of practicing witchcraft? The Majora’s Mask version of Koume and Kotake are green too despite not being evil
English
@itsapmseymour I don’t think being evil is what turns a Gerudo green-skinned lol. If you look at OoT, the only ones with green skin are Koume, Kotake, and Ganondorf.
Koume and Kotake are witches, and given Ganondorf’s powers, his surrogate mothers clearly taught him witchcraft.
English
Curious, has it ever been considered that Wind Waker Ganon was trying to portray being righteous in his goals because he was trying to manipulate his viewpoint to get a child to side with him?
In OoT it’s very clear he will lie to gain favor, and then in Twilight after being incarcerated he just drops the act and goes full criminal behavior, much like when he doesn’t get his way in Wind Waker’s final act.
Even in alternate timelines like LttP he pretends to be a wise man to assist Hyrule’s king and then just kills him the moment he’s in power to do so.
Ganondorf is a liar and always will be.
At this point I want more of an explanation on why evil Gerudo turn greenish than a morally ambiguous Ganon lol
Octorok Reviews@OctorokR
I'm seeing people argue in the replies of this post that Wind Waker Ganon is still pure evil - I disagree. The game clearly WANTS to frame him that way, but it fails horribly; Ganon's goal to restore Hyrule, his decision to spare Link's life after taking his Triforce of Courage, and the love he expresses for the bounty of Hyrule all paint him as morally grey at worst but honestly: kind of good at best. Had Ganon gotten his way, Hyrule would have been restored, the current age of anarchy would end, and the people of the Great Sea would once again prosper in verdant fields of green. But because King Daphnes got his hands on the Triforce instead, Hyrule was lost forever, and it would take hundreds of years for a new kingdom to be established in a far-off land. Think of all the many generations of Hylians who lived a life of hardship on the ocean during that time, and realize that every single one of them could have had a better life had Ganon got his wish to restore Hyrule. It can be a real boon for a story to give its villain some semblance of relatability and human motivations. But Wind Waker took this too far and made its version of Ganondorf so morally grey that he actually presented a better future than what the main protagonists were offering. So as hilarious as the below image may be: the fact that it actually applies to Wind Waker Ganon shows the weakness of that game's writing more succinctly than any 5-hour critique on the matter ever could.

All I said is that when talking about my religion, I just try to explain what the beliefs are. Did that come through differently because of the auto-translate?

@Ujo2eMbxYb20086 @yorimeidori No, because God purifies the heart of the repentants and makes them ‘’new creations’’ free of sin.
You also can’t just ‘’rack up evil deeds’’ on purpose, thinking you’ll be saved anyway. God knows the hearts of men. If the repentance isn’t sincere, He will know.

@migakiseiten I just can’t imagine that getting papers asking to believe in God in the mail would be particularly convincing, you know?

@migakiseiten Ah, well. Perhaps I got ahead of myself a bit. Fair enough. I apologize.

@migakiseiten I’m sure there is missionary work in Japan, yes.
But pieces of paper? What? In my opinion, speaking of their faith to others is something they ought to do themselves, not with a pre-printed pamphlet. We’re supposed to be living testimonies for Christ.

@yorimeidori If it helps, there are some who believe that the faith of the living can help the salvation of the departed. I’m not entirely sure how that works myself, but I suppose that means you could try to pray to God for your ancestors’ salvation?
English
@yorimeidori Salvation comes through Christ alone, but it is not necessary to know Him by name to be saved. God judges each soul according to their circumstances.
It may not be the case for all, but your ancestors whose heart yearned for truth and goodness may very well be saved already.

@ace_americ96959 @zt5019576939774 Unfortunately, some people are more interested in using the name of the Lord as a cudgel to hit others with as they proclaim their own self-righteousness than they are about God’s wisdom.

@zt5019576939774 The worst thing one can do as a professing believer is to behave in a way that brings reproach to Chrisr's name on account of our own mistakes and bad behavior.
There is a time for zeal and a time for diplomatic engagement, which require Godly wisdom to discern.

@JoePaulGians @zt5019576939774 As I understand it, bringing up the Emperor in casual conversation is generally not well-received in Japan. I know you don’t mean to offend, but I would advise caution
English
If you would permit a foreigner a bit of speculative "syncretism", it sounds like (at face value at least), the Japanese emperor's descent parallels aspects of the Biblical account.
The creation myths broadly align, and the Biblical accounts of the repopulation of the world after the Flood would readily lead to the ancient forebears of the Japanese traveling and eventually becoming the modern Japanese.
There are obviously differences and conflicts, but there seem to be enough similar themes that there might just be an answer.
At least, it merits respect and consideration, not dismissal of the Japanese faith.
