    The word "was" is carrying the world there. If you think that past influences inherently move the needle towards more cultural sensitivity then I'm going to have to disappoint you. Judaism, christianity and islam all share the exact same roots but the seperation between them is unfortunately pretty harsh in many occasions.
    Yes there are people practicing hinduism in japan and while ~500k people is no small number, compared to japan's population of ~125 million that's not that many.

    Awareness and number of current practicioners not correlated. it’s about education. With so many Sanskrit words in game, they would have hindu employees for sure.

    What about the other part of my post, the one before I talk about current practicioners. And if you're right and they have a bunch of hindu employees, then what's the problem?

    Listen, that's just my personal impression about you specifically. All of your posts give me the impression that you are not who you claim you are and instead someone from a western european cultural background trying to stir up drama on the forum (which is based). From the start, the weird generalization of japanese people and hindu people as 'from the east'. The idea that the depiction as snakes is inherently something evil (which would perfectly fit into a christian background). Calling hinduism a pagan religion also feels to me like a very western viewpoint, it's essentially otherizing every non-abrahamic religion. Historically this term has a lot of negative connotations.

    Pointing at the attack on charlie hebdo also feels very weirdly specific as does this weird sentence about:

    Is this supposed to be a warning? I dont believe you are trying to threaten anyone here.

    This is a small thing but: what about you? Dont you want to include yourself in that statement? Given how personally invested you seem, I find it weird that you arent even including yourself here.

    I already said I am not interested in discussing with you after your open hate towards hindus posting in forums. i am new to this forum and from your statements it seems other hindus have posted their concerns before and your trolled them too. so thank you and bye.

    How to reveal without a doubt that you're just trolling in one easy step: attempt to gaslight someone else and accuse them of trolling. Not that it wasn't obvious from the get go, but here we are.

    I love snakes. Such cool animals. Corn Snakes are the perfect beginner serpent pets.
