Very interesting, Kris, as usual! Thanks for taking the time to type that out. I didn't realize the Japanese aren't that "religious." Again, my stereotype of that culture is that they are religious, going to temple or however they reference it several times a week. I figured they were one or the other as far as the 2 main religions were concerned and not a mix of the two. I also figured their religions were centered on many gods and nature as opposed to Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I agree it would be hard to sit through a service all in Japanese. I don't know what the people got out of the services in Latin back in the day. I need to understand what is going on when I am in church!!!

Thanks for that insight!
