Christianity is a vile, violent, and horribly divisive religion. Its also a pedophilia cult.

What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?
That's what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It's basic math.
But usually, you have total numbers per 100k and that's the percents. % is parts of hundred, no matter what.
Yes, there just shouldn't be a percentage sign. It's not a percentage. The value is probably around 5 something per 100k.
07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Never mind that, what does "07% per 100K" even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million
0.07 x 100 000
The "%" is unnecessary, yeah. I‘m guessing she meant "0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum"
Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.
Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.
Relevant Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.
As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn't make sense. That's like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.
The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a "percentage" implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.
The original statistic under discussion says that there are "X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country", rather than "Y% of the country's population is murder victims", which wouldn't make sense anyway since the dead aren't part of the population; i.e. you wouldn't see a statistic like "20% of the population is dead" but rather "20% of the population died", and "90% of the deaths were by murder" rather than "18% of the population is murder victims".
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?
First time I've actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it's not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?
Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.
Data says otherwise. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country
When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.
And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.
Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.
Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.
I don't view christianity as a real religion tbh. Maybe way back when it was but nowadays it's just a way for fragile suburbanites to justify their victim complex and bigotry.
That's because you see more of them. Or at least what passes for christian in the US. Rest assured that the others are more than keeping pace.
I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there's a statistic that's embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they're gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.
In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: "those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives."
So that doesn't include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 'net café refugees' in Tokyo alone.
Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they've narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.
yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.
I'm not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I'll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN
I've lived in three different major Japanese cities and see fewer people sleeping rough in a year than I can see in an hour in either Europe or the US.
Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official "sleeping on the streets" numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they're official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don't have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.
To be fair though it’s the ones living on the street that people choose to hate on as much as possible
Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I've spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.
I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.
The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.
Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can't tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.
This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.
Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man's shoes on the daily.
Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.
Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.
Also in IT. Complained last week about a guy who is a lawyer who was befuddled by needing to reset his password for an online service. Dude! How can you not have this skill by now?!
I was utterly forlorn. And a bit angry.
I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a 'forgot username or password?' button and just don't know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they're clearly labeled, is insane.
Fuck proselytizing religions. No, I won't join your stupid fucking cult. Fuck right off.
Do you want to talk about Satan?
We enjoy sex, responsible drug use and rock and roll.
Anybody who rebels against the biblical god has the right idea.
% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact they've clearly fucked up something.
According to this, per 10,000 people:
- Japan: 0.2
- US: 19.5
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/homelessness-by-country
Heartbroken because it should be 0%?
I just woke up, but I don't think the unit should be percentage per 100k people. Otherwise, I agree with the statement though.
Not only that, 07 > 5.7, I assume missing a decimal point. Their heart is in the right place, their keyboard is all over the place.
