Talk:Nagasaki Prefecture

History

Last paragraph (re. rain and landslide damage): I've cleaned up this paragraph a bit, but the figures need to be checked and sources added. I searched briefly, but couldn't find figures specific to this region.Troyp (talk) 02:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Christian belief statement=

I feel that the statement "the Christian belief in equality between men" undermines the neutrality of this article. It is patently obvious to many that Christian missionaries in this area had no such beliefs and often used violent methods to force conversions. The statement also implies that contemporary Japanese attitudes on equality were somehow inferior to Christianity's, ratehr than being different. Pedantic I know, but I still feel it needs to be said.

About Nagoya

The article contains the statement, "Nagoya(not to be confused with Nagoya, Aichi) was located in the prefecture before." Does anyone have any information about this? It links to Nagoya, Nagasaki but that redirects to Nagoya, Saga. I think it belongs in Saga, but perhaps at one time it was in Nagasaki? Fg2 07:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Religion

The article only mentions the fact that 4.52 percent of the population is Christian. What about the other 95 percent? I am not familiar with this region of Japan, and the specifics of the relgious diversity are unknown to me.--Dave 00:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

agreed, as it stands the religion section might as well be called "Christianity". Which is bizarre if only 4.5 percent of the population is Christian. --86.137.152.133 (talk) 14:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Japanese people tend to believe in both Buddhism and Shintō, but as you can read in Religion in Japan, they don't tend to perceive them as religions so much as cultural practices. The religion section here probably only mentions Christianity because that religion is (slightly) more prevalent in Nagasaki thanks to greater outside influences; there probably isn't much to say about indigenous Japanese religions in Nagasaki, since the situation there is not notably different from the rest of Japan. -Amake (talk) 02:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Radioactive

"On August 9, 1945, a United States bomber dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, which was completely demolished and still is radioactive today." is incorrect.
