The world may have been better off if Japan had won the war. A Japanese Empire would have spread Buddhism and peace around the world. Buddhism being an Indo-European religion very compatible with European thought. During that era, the Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida studied German philosophy and integrated it with Zen Buddhism, creating a religous synthesis that the Empire could export to Europe. Japan is going to rearm and get nuclear weapons. They have no choice because of the China threat. A reconstructed Imperial Japan may be the solution to the degeneration of the West.

"Christianity, which is personalistic, places the fountainhead of religion in man's fall in an extremely acute way. Original sin is transmitted to the descendants of Adam, who rebelled against God, the creator. Man is a sinner from birth. Therefore there is no way to escape sin from the side of man. The only escape is through the sacrifice of the son of God, who is sent into the world of man by God because of his love. We are saved by believing in the revelation of Christ.
That man is a sinner from birth may be thought to he an extremely irrational idea as an ethical doctrine. But we cannot help saying that the idea of man's fallen nature as the essence of man is an extremely deep religious view of man. As I have already said, it must actually express a fundamental fact of human life. The human is established by the absolute self-negation of God; and in his very essence, man is fated to be thrown into the eternal flames of helL
In the true Pure Land sect (!ado Shinshu) as well, man is seen as intrinsicallv sinful. It speaks of sentient beings who are "deeply wicked and possess fiery evil passions." It says that man
is saved only by relying on Amida Buddha."
