This thread, like all my threads, was inspired by something @Rival said. 
She said something about the test of asking yourself what God you would invoke if you knew you would die today.
I would simply cry out to the Kami. Kami is every supernatural being including God. Even Japanese Christians call God "Kami".
Everyone at this forum who prays to unseen sentient beings, actually is a Shinto adherent (technically), because the only Doctrine of Shinto is "Belief in the Kami" , no other Doctrines, no innerant Scriptures or Prophets, no known founder, nothing to argue about.
The Shinto attitude is Dogma distracts from loving the Kami, causes arguments, and divides.
My belief is we don't know who founded Shinto , because it was founded by the female half of Hashem, to be a common bond, to bring all Religions to common ground, for the end time. But I'm not infallible by any stretch!
The highest most venerated Kami in Shinto is not the creator, and is female. (Moms are like Dads, just smarter on average, and less jealous, wrathful, and violent. )
It is entirely possible, God himself founded Shinto, and Amaterasu + Shinto was his delight before the world began, to triumph at the end of the ages, because Shinto Doctrine doesn't contradict or conflict with Abrahamic faiths.
So, were I to be in front of a firing squad tommorow, I would call out to "Kami".
Shinto found me, I didn't find her, and was practicing Shinto , enshrining uncanonized souls, no Dogma, no Scripture, just following my heart and conscience, incessant prayer, offerings, sacrifices, for almost two years, prior to realizing I was practicing Shinto.
It did far more for me than the fear, anger, and bitterness Christianity brought me , with all the threats of friends and family being tortured forever.
No thanks to all the New Testament threats of wailing and gnashing of teeth in a lake of fire, for those who don't eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ. Or those not written in some "book of life. I don't want to be wearing a white robe in some choir stall, acting perfect forever, and praising such a God in Heaven.
On a more lighter note, I clicked on my alert notifications yesterday, and for whatever reason it brought me to a girl scout trooper recruiting page with girl scout cookies.
On my walk today I stumbled accross chocolate and caramel girlscout cookies box. (Empty though )
Those are actually my favorite kind of cookies. Yum! What does that sign mean?
Anyone have a favorite girlscout cookie?
