Oh, I remember that post you showed me about being a Christian in Gensokyo
Ooo, that’s nice symbolism! A knife also has the advantage of being good in survival instances, like making a fire and farming too! So it’s practical.
Because of my dream with the cherub, I think it will be cool to have a weapon the cherubim used, so a flaming sword (Like a lightsaber from Star Wars, or the beam sword from Smash). I think that would be a cool Spell Card protection, like maybe it can get longer with length like a beam of light.
Genesis 3:24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
Would definitely be stronger than Tenshi’s Sword of Hisou. If my sword and Tenshi’s clashed, her’s would be the first to break, since cherubim’s are true celestials, 天人 tennin, heaven person

Reseraching this, interesting how Deva “celestials” in the false religion of Buddhism is related to devaputta “son of God” and devata “deities”. The true son of God is Jesus Christ and only through Him do people go to Heaven. So, who would win, the sword of Buddhism or the sword of Christianity? Definitely a Christian sword.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword,
Tenshi’s sword of Buddhism is edged, yet the word of God Christ is even sharper!
Colossians 2:9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
And Christ has the whole fullness of deity inside of Him, nothing is stronger than Him.
Yes, Christians can play Touhou, just like how Christians can also eat the food offered to an idol. 1 Corinthians 8:4. While playing, we must remember that Touhou characters, like idols, are fictional.

Ok, now my commentary for your Sanae Kochia and Kanako Yasaka post
```Joshua 3:10 And Joshua said, “Here is how you shall know that the living God is among you```
Yes, only God is life, because He breathed the breath of life into all of creation! Nobody else has His power of creation, it is solely His and His alone. And like you say, since God is perfect, it’s literally impossible for anyone else to have the title of “God” besides God Himself!
Kanako Yasaka representing a snake is interesting, because many false religions try to portray the devil’s snake form as good, despite it actually being evil.
“Gautama Buddha began meditating under the Bodhi Tree”
Meditating under a tree trying to obtain knowledge? Like how Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate from the Tree of Life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucalinda
“However, the mighty King of Serpents, Mucalinda, came from beneath the earth and protected with his hood the One who is the source of all protection.”
The devil, the king of serpents is a source of destruction! Only the LORD God protects us!
``` “John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” ```
Therefore “Gautama Buddha”’s false religion of Buddhism is of his father, the devil,
Just look at this picture. The devil as the snake is trying to trick people into worshipping it to obtain knowledge, but the only true wisdom that can be obtained is from the Lord of Hosts, Christ!
So I think ZUN may have based the Moriya Shrine characters off of this concept of buddhism. It might also explain why Sanae has a snake shaped accessory in her hair. Eventually, all people will recognize that Satan, this snake, is evil! And thus, all will believe in Christ, the true protection, to gain permanent life.
