In Sengoku period Japan, as several daimyos and their subjects converted to Christianity via the efforts of Jesuit missionaries, the destruction of Buddhist and Shinto temples and shrines would often accompany it, with the Jesuits also contributing to the destruction and persecutions. Buddhist monks would face persecution by being forcefully evicted out of the temples which would then be reused as churches. Christian daimyos would also force Buddhist monks to marry. In other instances, the daimyos would order the killing of Buddhist monks and nuns. Additionally, Buddhist relics hidden by monks would be sought out and destroyed. The Jesuit missionaries were intolerant of Shinoism and Buddhism, considering them as idol-worship propagated by the devil. Christian converts believed that Shinto and Buddhist deities were evil spirits whose influence can be eliminated via the destruction of their religious sites. In the religious history of Japan, efforts to eliminate native or localized religions like Buddhism and Shinto by force and replace them with a different creed altogether was a phenomenon never experienced before in Japan. The disregard on the part of Christians towards the religious pluralism found in Japanese spirituality was similarly seen as foreign. The destruction of religious sites by Christians even in peacetime and as a purely religious act was also seen as unparalleled by the Japanese authorities. This along with other more political factors eventually led the Japanese authorities to release a edict forbidding the practice of Christianity in the nation, with a 1587 edict by Toyotomi Hideyoshi stating "Japan is the land of the Gods and so it is undesirable that evil doctrines from Christian lands be propagated. To approach the inhabitants of our lands, make them into followers and destroy shrines and temples is unprecedented behavior."

@@4yearslate966 how is Islam more tolerant? Christian countries are welcoming Muslim refugees by millions, giving them food and housing, allowing them to build mosques and practice their religion, take on jobs, the pope himself taking muslim families from ruins to Rome. While in countries ruled strictly by Islam all other religions are not only buried, but persecuted still. In Saudi Arabia not a single church is allowed and any Christian ruins are hidden out of site, they even did not allow Christians to own a bible or wear a cross. In the Islamic lands of the Philippines priests and nuns are being killed up to this day. Afghanistan. Iran. Christians and Muslim converts are hiding out of fear of a death sentence. In my country, any public celebration of our feast days is ridiculed and cursed on social media and not a single Muslim I met knew a single thing about us. Total oblivion to whom they're supposed to live with in "tolerance" when they won't even bother learning about others, and when you try to open up to them, they consider it "preaching" and you get legally sentenced for it. Islam historically has also invaded countries using weapons and shedding blood in massacres. Armenians were murdered by turks and Muslims in millions and they've recently been denied a land and their churches for the Islamic state. Turky turning a historical Church into a mosque totally disregarding the feelings of the co-living Christians. Muslims welcomed into our churches, yet we are considered a desecration in their mosques. Islam is not better. Its not more tolerant. You should not compare in the first place and realise there's a dark past and a dark present caused by different religions and their followers; and Islam is not innocent nor more dignified.

@Son of the Oriental Sun Where are you from? How do you know so much of the Philippines? I took a look at your profile and you have a lot of playlists regarding Philippines, but your language is Spanish?

@@life_is_a_myth My name is actually my country of origin and birth. It's taken from Himno Nacional Filipino's (The original version of the Philippine National Anthem) first paragraph: "Tierra adorada, hija del sol de Oriente, su fuego ardiente en ti latiendo esta." I took, "hija del sol de oriente" referring to The Philippines in the anthem. And replaced it with a masculine form "hijo." So basically, it just mean Filipino. Son of the Oriental Sun. As for the Spanish language, it was spoken in The Philippines as lingua franca for centuries until it was removed as a co-official language just in the 1987 Constitution. It is unfortunate because Spanish is part of our heritage. It is the language of our revolutionaries and intellectuals like Jose Rizal. It is Language of majority of our historical archives and our literature. Well, until its use was dissuaded by the Americans in late to early 19th and 20th century and met its ultimate demise during WWII. Now some of us still decided, at our own volition to relearn it as part of our hispano-asiatico heritage and identity, albeit to a varying degree of proficiency. You'll still see traces of the Spanish language here, they still count in Spanish, some even prays in Spanish to name a few. And as to my knowledge regarding The Philippines, I'd say it's very limited. not even the tip of the iceberg. It's just that I am very interested in culture regardless if it is Filipino or foreign. It gives me a "more profound sense of undertanding oneself in consideration of everything that surrounds me" if I may.

@@hijodelsoldeoriente The Philippines it's such an interesting country, it really amazes me how many different cultural roots it has.

Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as *slaves* of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.” *Romans 6:16* “Surely you know that you become the *slaves* of whatever you give yourselves to.

No Buddhism and Christianity are a lot like each other in how they spread - through missionaries spreading the texts and philosophy of their religions to other nations. Buddhism also experienced many hardships in this endeavor and didn't always have such a smooth passage. When Buddhism first came to Japan there was a whole civil war between Buddhist and anti-Buddhist factions. In the history of Chinese Buddhism there was a Taoist emperor who was absolutely horrified by Buddhism misthinking the notion of nirvana as death in opposition to the Taoist notion of immortality. And this emperor began another of what was four series of persecutions against the Buddhists and also against the Christian missionaries and Zoroastrians who were in China at that time as well. I don't blame Japan for driving out the Portuguese but the fact that people here praise banning Christianity and making it go underground for a few centuries is very disturbing because they are in fact praising brutally torturing innocent people to death just for their personal religious beliefs. You can't appeal to religious tolerance and then hypocritically praise killing others for their own beliefs.

There are differences between what Christianity was trying to do and what Churches, missionaries, and countries behind them are trying to do. Churches back in those days were certainly the first step for European countries to colonize colored nations. There are letters remaining of priests suggesting their governments of how to colonize Japan. Also, they started enslaving selling Japanese overseas. So even though they allowed Christianity first, they had to take action.

You do realize European missionaries were trafficking Japanese people into slavery and exporting them all over SEA, under the disguise of spreading religion, right? And there are tons of letters confirming that the Spaniards planned to use those religious outposts in Japan to launch an invasion similar to what they did in the Philippines and South America.

This is an incredibly naive view of history. The experts in the video made it clear that the shogunate was concerned with preserving its own power in the wake of European colonization in Southeast Asia. I think it's fascinating that people want so badly to believe that anything has changed other than the specific justifications used by the powerful.

​@@incomments2864Who here is "bitching and complaining?" I read all of these comments and they're all just discussing history.

Not that much mate. The Africans had multiples religions, any of them were muslins also. So a new religion was created in the mixture of their many religions and the Catholic cult, that they were forced to attend. Then it was born as Candomblé. Umbanda and Quimbanda actually have more of a plural back ground as much of it also came from the European witchcraft (yeah that still exists) and the indigenous rituals.

Cale a boca, a Única e Verdadeira Igreja é a Católica. Você fica com esse seu discursinho progressista de "African slaves" como se fosse nos EUA protestante onde trucidavam seus escravos muito diferente do Brasil (país que mais tinha liberdade e alforria de longe para os escravos). Henrique Dias por exemplo foi um negro africano que defendera a fé católica enquanto filho de ex-escravos. Vários escravos criaram Igrejas e irmandades para homens negros de coisas de fato católicas. A umbanda só começou depois do século XIX, e essa umbanda na verdade veio pela influência de voodoo e orixás de alguns pagãos nobres africanos. E se eu te contasse que o Zumbi dos Palmares era católico e não só isso como proibiu feitiçaria e qualquer outra religião que não era a católica. Você acreditaria? Alguns gnósticos baianos criaram a umbanda, e isso não tem nada a ver com a religião deles. Afinal eles não transferiram cultos da África para a América. Se eu te contasse que no século XVI, a grande maioria dos escravos eram pois católicos. Acreditaria? Então… O rei do Congo Afonso I, se tornou católico de acordo com Portugal. E nesse meio tempo o Reino inteiro da África se converteu. Tanto que até hoje o Congo, Angola, Moçambique, etc. são predominantemente católicos. Em pouco tempo a grande maioria da população foi convertida. E logo depois, os escravos que eles trouxeram cá, também católicos. Essa história progressista e revisionista que as religiões de """indoles africanas""" (note as três aspas) nasceram da proibição das religiões africanas, é totalmente ridícula e falsa. A verdade é que os africanos já eram pois católicos. Mais tem que ser muita mula mesmo para cair nessa história de escola 😂

Sorry my Americans/international comrades. This guy is stupid. He is using a revisionist history to defame our portuguese ancestral. The history of Brazil, is seriously manipulated to create the history that our ancestrals was bad, and just had the evil and good guys, that would be indigenous people. This started in 70s decade, by the minister named MEC (Education and Culture Minister); to create a anti-patriotic sentiment by communist historians, that we call "síndrome do vira-lata", or mongrel sindrome. The Brazil has serious low levels of education then; in maths, science, geography, history and ironic, in portuguese.

In other instances, the daimyos would order the killing of Buddhist monks and nuns. Additionally, Buddhist relics hidden by monks would be sought out and destroyed. The Jesuit missionaries were intolerant of Shinoism and Buddhism, considering them as idol-worship propagated by the devil. Christian converts believed that Shinto and Buddhist deities were evil spirits whose influence can be eliminated via the destruction of their religious sites. In the religious history of Japan, efforts to eliminate native or localized religions like Buddhism and Shinto by force and replace them with a different creed altogether was a phenomenon never experienced before in Japan. The disregard on the part of Christians towards the religious pluralism found in Japanese spirituality was similarly seen as foreign. The destruction of religious sites by Christians even in peacetime and as a purely religious act was also seen as unparalleled by the Japanese authorities. This along with other more political factors eventually led the Japanese authorities to release a edict forbidding the practice of Christianity in the nation, with a 1587 edict by Toyotomi Hideyoshi stating "Japan is the land of the Gods and so it is undesirable that evil doctrines from Christian lands be propagated. To approach the inhabitants of our lands, make them into followers and destroy shrines and temples is unprecedented behavior."

But Christianity is a major religion in Japan unlike Bindooism

@@dominicj7977 are you sure about that? Christianity is just about 1.5% or less - - however - like a virus - it still has the potential spreading rapidly by destroying and taking over it's host cultures - unfortunately the 2 later wanna be abrahamic faiths are aggressively intolerant to any other belief systems

​@@sureshnair9427It has nothing to do with your fool And because God touched the heart When God touches our hearts, he changes our thoughts

Funny how they also did worse, killing them for being christians, of course they are "intolerant" if it's based in one only God, doesn't necessarily means that one has to be hateful, it's not the same thing, but you don't accept other gods or religions, which is normal, that doesn't justify outlwing and killing people when the others weren't doing anyhting besides believing in one only God, the people that have been most hated and persecuted speaking of religion in history since its beginning have been christians, and one has to just look at history to realize it

Absolutely wrong. No justification for banning Christianity for 200+ years lol

​@@yuborajdutta1322Right brother 🙏

LOL

japan should have outlawed christianity until modern times. japan will lose their traditions

Well they did right to ban Christianity because it was spread with evil intentions by the european colonisers. Look what they did to the culture of non believers in countries they ruled, you can't say they should have let the colonisers do what they did to other countries culture.

@@goldendarkness8517 true, but either ways what japan did at the time was justified.

@@nij9983 Japan already lose your tradition of worshipping an alive Kami Emperor for almost 75 years yet you seems not bothered

@@goldendarkness8517 Well later on Japan become an evil imperial colonizer themselves even worst than the Europeans agaist their fellow East and South East Asians

They jst need to prove they are relevant.

Yea

Fake gods cant help them

Wtf

That's idolatry, btw.

I don't know about Shinto but you can be a Christian and Buddhist. Because Buddha is not actually a religion, it doesn't ask you to worship any being but to achieve enlightenment. Buddha is more a philosophy or way of life.

@@my0majesty0el you can't be both a Buddhist and a Christian. On the surface they both teach about peace, but they have core ideas that contradict each other. Even Jesus himself told his followers they can't have 2 masters, as they would end up eventually listening to one and dismissing the other.

@@Player-re9mo he just said that buddhism isn't a religion though, it's more of a way of life than a religion and I can see it like that too. think about it, a vegan just wants to eat grass for the rest of their life doesn't mean it's a religion but a way of life

@Sss Sss was that though for the israelites when they conquered the promised land?

@Sss Sss Thats the arguement on if God exists. If not, this life is all there is and we have no hope

@Sss Sss Jealous can be good. Forinstance, a wife is jealous for her husbands love. Sacrifices are not done now, and well, God is love

Yes in Saudi Arabia

@Sss Sss Where does it say that? Also Mastu.. is wrong. About mensturates, its a unclean thing. Thats all. Like other natural things can be unclean
