Kami are numerous, and while they are "gods" they can, and do, die. Whereas the Abrahamic God is eternal, and deathless. So, in Japanese media, it's literally because of a decision a translator made back in the 16th century when translating The Gospel of Matthew. <cite>coolguyjimmy posted [p:979197332] in In stories...
