When reading about European contact with Japan it's always weird to me there were converts. Shinto / Buddhism has done you well for like 1000 years and then these barbarians show up and you're just like "hmm maybe they're right?"

Proselytizing. Ugh. They call it the Good News, but it's annoying as fuck. In my life I've met only one (1) openly Christian person who did not do that. Respected my wishes, my beliefs.

(so yeah, this meme is still relevant)
