@pizzahut451:

But no Christian chinese person died in that riot because he/she was a christian, right? The diffrence is, people tried to froce their beliefs on eachother by violence back than. And today, we are seeing a peacefull rise of Christianity in China with no violence whatsoever.

No violence yet. You can be sure they'rr become opressive if they ever try to get power.

Not if its rising in the country where atheism is a majority

Atheists are not the majority.And you claim you don't insult atheists, yet you want them to be wiped out.

Whatever makes you sleep at night buddy. I can only respond insults with insults, and if i do that a certan mod will ban me. you just keep telling yourself that. I just wonder where zexen is to teach us about religious intolerance now...,

This isn't meant to be an insult, it's just a plain fact. Christianity is intolerant (it claims to be the "one true religion" and all other religions are wrong and evil) and opressive (the fact that it tries to control every aspect of people's lives and surpress their free will and fre thought).

There can only be one true religion, and dont act like other religions dont claim to be the right ones. Your bias against christianity and christianity only is jaw-dropping.

Buddhism doesn't claim that other religions are wrong. Actually, most of the religions from the part fo the world are very tolerant of others. A phenomenon called religious syncretism is really popular in the far East (many people are both Buddhists and Shintoists in Japan, for example). Christians would ruin the balance in that part of the world, and the Christians would eventually try eliminate the other religious faiths.

See? Your just so ignorant and biased against everything christian, you dont even see what happening and choose to close your eyes and tell yourself all that nonsense to make yourself feel better about your beliefs. I dont insult judisam, islam, buddisam or even atheism to make myself feel better and more secure about my beliefs.

Yes you do. Now I'm not gonna go and search the forums about Islam to search for your hateful posts, but you've given great examples of your hatred for atheists on this very topic. If I said that "I hope more and more people become Atheists in Italy, because that would weaken Christianity in the world", you'd accuse me of being hateful, but appearently your kind likes to insult others, but not be insulted themselves.

Except that this is totally diffrent than that rebelion. People are CHOOSING to follow christian religion, not to force it on others. No one is opression no one, no matter if you want to believe otherwise.

People are manipulated by missionaries who are feedign them lies. And if they ever gain more power they'll push for more people to become converted, and that could possibly lead to violence.

Yes, it would be IF I was talkking about Africa or Philiphinos, but since i was not, its irrelevant. Not to mention those events happedn 300 years ago, and Im talking about TODAY!!

You were talking about (the made-up) fact that Christianity did not spread through violence and opression. And the Philipinos are from the part of Asia we were talking about.

Absolutely, because inquisition wasnt about spreading christianity on innocent muslims who never raised sword against christians, it was about keeping church in power of the kingodms and lands of europe.Christianity would have been just fine without inqusition. Church and western kingdoms? I dont think so. As for muslims in Spain, go educate yourself on Spanish Reconquista

I think you don't really know much about the Reconquista. It was essentially Christians from the North of Spain stealing lands that for centuries belonged to muslims. They also forced millions of muslims to convert, and they other killed those who didn't, or banished them to North Africa. It was essentially ethnic clensing. And no, without things like the Inquisition Christianity would've been totaly different today.
