While triping down memory lane I came across this:
The reason Shorinji Kempo was founded "However, it is appropriate to consider Shorinji Kempo a religion considering the founder's original intentions. When So Doshin returned to Japan after the end of WWII, he found a Japan greatly changed from the proud land he had left. The Japanese were robbed of the basis of their entire beliefs when the Japanese Emperor carried out his 'ningen sengen', or 'declaration of humanity', where he stated explicitly that he was in fact an ordinary human being and not a god as the government propaganda had taught them. Japan was in a sorry state, with crime and corruption occuring in broaddaylight and it being a case of 'everyman for himself'. So Doshin decided that something had to be done, and the only way to rebuild Japan into a good society was to develop in people the right ideals, of respect, honor, compassion, and strength. However, he knew that no matter how right what he preached was, it would all fall on deaf ears. So created the martial art Shorinji Kempo, based on what he had learnt in China, and taught this, preaching his beliefs to any who came. Because of this So Doshin often referred to the martial art aspect of Shorinji Kempo as 'bait', to lure in people so that he could preach to them."
And the same with dinosaur theories, conspiracy theories, and any other theory.
