Funny, but that Catholic roadside shrine reminds me of Shinto roadside shrines that I would see in Japan.

Not much difference in my mind.

That is funny! It also makes your spurious perception of good Catholics that much more plain. I think this reminder may be a true calling for you. Going to Japan and working with people who do actually put other gods before God might be glorious for Our Savior. I really do think you would be more successful against Shinto because your argument actually would be true ... and not just an over played anti-Catholic time waster. You could follow in the footsteps of St. Francis Xavier. :)
