% 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:
- Japan: 0.2
- US: 19.5
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/homelessness-by-country
.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?
I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.
Christianity is a vile, violent, and horribly divisive religion. Its also a pedophilia cult.
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)
To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?

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.
Are the uh… maggoty cum farts optional or?
They’ll grow on you.
That is part of the concern, yes.
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.
Science disagrees with consensus reality.
Do what?..
So you genuinely believe Satan exists and has influence in the world? Where does he live under the Earths mantle?
Because that is entirely at odds with everything we know about reality.
You might want to look up what The Satanic Temple actually believes.
n00b doesnt understand Satanism
I’m a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.
His response answered your question. Science doesn’t believe in Satan, thus he himself doesn’t believe Satan exists. For the record, most Satanists don’t actually believe in anything “supernatural”. Read more about Satanism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#Contemporary_tendencies_and_groups
So he’s not religious and doesn’t actually believe in Satan?
It’s like atheism with extra useless steps.
Sort of.
The satanic Temple chose their name because of the literal meaning of the word “Satan”, which may be the name of the big bad from religious types but actually means “adversary” when directly translated from Hebrew.
Atheists can take all forms, and by no means do I assume what any individual believes, but by the very definition, atheists can be extremely passive in their belief, or more accurately, non-belief. The atheists I know are usually very live and let live, after a while because they realize that arguing the point with religious folks usually doesn’t get you anywhere.
TST is dedicated to the fair use and representation of religions in society. They’re obviously based in the USA where there is a separation of church and state, at least, there’s supposed to be. So the state cannot show favoritism to any religion, but they often do. Usually with monuments like a depiction of the ten commandments placed on city owned land. This is a real and fairly recent issue that TST got involved on. They asked that a statue of Baphomet be placed on the same city owned land, forcing the city into a position of either allowing the statue to be placed along side the very Christian ten commandments, or admit that they are favoring Christianity, which they basically cannot do because it’s a violation of their station.
Satanists are a bit more active, by default, than atheists. Not to say atheists are inactive or lazy, it’s just that Satanists have a very specific target.
Look it’s cool that you’re in a philosophical moral club, but don’t go around defending religion by calling yourself a religion and saying ‘look at me as an example of a good religion’ when you don’t actually hold religious/supranatural beliefs.
And if you do hold such beliefs, don’t claim you accept reality.
Yeah also japanese people shit rainbows
Well when they stop shitting those rainbows into little holes dug into the ground give me a call
07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.
Relevant Wikipedia article:~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate~~
And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.
Edit: That Wikipedia article may have been written by ChatGPT cause the actual total number of homicides in all of Japan in 2022 was 853.
NonWikipedia source:
As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn’t make sense. That’s like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.
The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a “percentage” implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.
The original statistic under discussion says that there are “X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country”, rather than “Y% of the country’s population is murder victims”, which wouldn’t make sense anyway since the dead aren’t part of the population; i.e. you wouldn’t see a statistic like “20% of the population is dead” but rather “20% of the population died”, and “90% of the deaths were by murder” rather than “18% of the population is murder victims”.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.
Edit: formatting
Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.
Your math is still bad though.
Now do again with suicide rates (:
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.
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.
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
But Japan is so perfect and kakkoi bro, I’ll solve all the problems in my life by moving there and then I’ll become kakkoi bro
