@newbullnew I'm not Japanese, but my perspective of the ordeal suggests they never truly got off the ground after World War 2, which led them to get stuck in a low fertility cycle. Human contact is necessary for people, and wherever that connection falters can't be ignored.
@kakuyokusyugi "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
@kakuyokusyugi Not necessarily. It's more about discipline. There is a road that looks good, but leads to death. The narrow road is harder, but more rewarding.
@Sz73B It's a "wisdom of the ancients" thing. The Son and the Father are the servant of the household. They hold them up like the roots and trunk of the tree.
@samueleyekosi The myths are the problem. That's why the Bible warned us about idolatry. This is also why Jesus warned us about the Antichrist, which is Christianity jumped up on idolatry.
@samueleyekosi The Bible is nearly 800,000 words, the Quran is only 80,000. Out of all of that, the Quran has only a thousandth of the overall substance.
@korrathetaymi You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.β Jesus then left them and went away.

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
He replied, βWhen evening comes, you say, βIt will be fair weather, for the sky is red,β and in the morning, βToday it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.β
