I wouldnt be so sure about that, especially with our great religion increasing in China

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128546334

China accepting christianity to some level would be amazing. Not only would atheism become much weaker in the world but it would also start the spreading of our religion in the far east and Asian continent overall, something our forfathers werent able to do before.

One can hope...

First of all, the majority of the Chinese aren't atheists (only about 14-15% of them are), they're Buddhists or Taoists.

Second of all, most of that part of Asia was colonised by Europeans. If they couldn't convert them by now, they ain't gonna (and you can ber sure that the muslims ain't gonna convert).

Third of all, Christianity is one of the worse things that could happen to China. The last thing they need is a radical religious sect ruining their developing country and halting their progress.

(and in the West, thanks to secularism, atheists have nothing to worry about ).

(Oh, and all reliable sources indicate that Islam is by far the fastest growing religion in the world. Even an organisation such as the World Christian Database says so).


I didnt excpect another kind of response from you...

First of all, majority of chinese are atheist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_China#Statistics      

Second, countries like China, japan, Thailand and Mongolia werent colonised by europeans (at least not most of them), and I wasnt talking about middle easter muslim countries, but about the countries in the far east.

Another random insult, which if I wrote, zexen would ban me in a second because of ''religious intolerance'' but that only applies if a non-christian belief is insulted, but whatever. You just keep living up to those stereotypes.

And Islam is spreading due to big birth rates in families, but Christianity is spreading aong whole nations and continents, which is a long-term advantige over Islam.

First of all, the majority of the Chinese are Agnostics or non-religious, which is not the same as Atheists. Read your own links. It says that only 10-14% are atheists. It doesnt matter. Most of them dont believe or worship a God. Period. No one can really claim not to be agnostic, because no one knows for 100% that there is/isnt a God. its just that some people choose to believe/not believe despite the lacking evidence. Some people just dont care enought to make thier opinnion, and just say ''im agnostic, im not sure'', but they still dont believe in God, because you either support a religious belief 100% or not at all (The quote Kantor posted presents this very well)

Second of all, you're the one accusing me of random insults? Read the part I bolded.You didnt bolded anything. You insulted atheists,No, unlike you, I didnt call atheism names and I didnt even mention atheists, I just said that if Christianity rises in China atheism would be much weaker, and that would be a good thing IMO. Dont pretend you dont wish christianity would disappear from Earth and professed your desire for your kind my kind, lol? to wipe out every other belief system from Asia.Thats just bullshit straight up here. I never wished for such a thing. i said i was hoping for christianity to rise in the lands of far east, not for it to become their only religion and exterminate all others. Those forefathers you talked about killed millions, profitted of people's ignorance, and destroyed entire civilizations (much more civilized then they were) no, they but defended the Holy Land from muslim invaders, the violent spread of Christianity in Asia is pretty much non-existant, you are wrong, all in the name, to spread your religionNo, but for money and power. Christians are responsable for one of the most violent and bloody revolutions in ChinaNo, they were not, thats just what you want and choose to believe., and they had similar movements in Japan also. Your post just proved how intolerant and opressive your religion isNo, your post proved just how intolerant, arrogant, and agry your belief system is for some reason.I wished no harm nor offense to anyone in any of my previous posts in this thread, when you always and constantly and very openly insult all christian and all religions overall. If by your definition I am opressing anyone with my posts, what are YOU doing than? Making a Holocaust?

Just to take the quickes example:

Third of all, Christianity is one of the worse things that could happen to China. The last thing they need is a radical religious sect ruining their developing country and halting their progress.

This, by your definiton isnt an insult to christian, but hoping for christianity to rise in China is very insulting. Double standards and arrogance at their best.

And you people have the nerve to ciricise muslims extremists for their Jihad, when you're no better then they are. This I wont ever bother to adress, because i really really hope you are joking here, or atleast speaking out of anger.

How about losing the world domination fantasies? what kind of world domination you think i ''fantasise'' about? Where every non christian is opressed and killed? If the religious dominance of christianity was like that, you would have been dead aloooooong time ago. Im hoping for christianity to spread around the world (and this is insulting to you apprently) and for more people to learn about it, but of course, you choose totally to miss that, and create your own version of christian dominance where poor non christians are getting burned alive while impaled on a 10m stick, just to support your insecure belifs about evil christianity. Maybe then people will stop disliking your religion so much. There's a reason why people pick on Christianity so much after all.
