You're white, yeah?

my wife didn't even cry she was just like "hey take me to the hospital tomorrow I miscarrieed"

I'm white-ish

Haha

But your wife is Japanese?

yup

So you follow Japanese indigenous religion?

I can't stand white women... probably has something to do with my white mom being a terrible person

we do all the shindo and buddhist customs here yeah

but nobody is really religious

I know more shinto shinwa than my wife

Same in China, it's more of a cultural tradition than a religious one

yeah, and China has it damn right cracking down on the serious religions

like the ones where you have to believe sky daddy told you to kill people

I think they should be treated like cults

we have christians up the street and they think that because I'm white I'm religious or something and they like invite me to easter parties and stuff

But for "us" the existence of the Christian God is basically just an accepted fact of nature

is it? I never grew up in a religious environment and I have a history of a big chunk of my family being wiped out from that.

Like my Chinese family they call themselves nonreligious but they still believe in God

aah like spiritualism

yeah none of that here

I meant us as in my Chinese family

right

in Japan it's just so perhipheral, it's more or less just the feeling, like even if you go to a shrine and buy a charm they'll say "It's not the charm that makes it happen, the charm is a symbol and reminder for you to make it happen"

Sounds very Catholic

I wouldn't know, not very versed on Catholisism

I had a strange upbringing I guess

We have all sorts of trinkets

I like that kind of religious culture

charms and stuff

I have a 神棚 right behind me, it's a little shrine made of wood that you store charms in

*this is the office I'm in, all the stuff is for good business

I have a wooden cross made in the holy land

aah, we have a ceramic mesuza from Israel... but we have a metal door frame so we can't put it up 😄

dunno if we would though

and we don't have the fillament you put inside either

anyway, gotta run, lunch time

Later bro

you have a nice [inset time of day in your time zone]

Ragnarok are you a half Nam?

No
