Welcome! The worldbuilding sounds interesting. Maybe that's just another word for conworlding, which was an extension of conlanging, which I delved into for a short phase. I just read this article, and it was quite fascinating!

Welcome
Is this the first member in Japan ever? I'm really interested to know what it's like to be an atheist (and a Christian, tbh) over there, since I heard it's a country with a huge number of atheists, like a majority. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.
Is your Christian community quite closed off though?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Welcome!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Welcome!
