and a lot of you are lucky that you can even have an opinion on your beliefs, or that you can call the christian faith "bronze age." Where I am from, you can get your head cut off for not having a collectivist view on religion, especially if you are a christian :\.
its a bit ridiculous for people to say religion is poison on these comments, because everyone has one, or at least a set of beliefs, whether or not you follow a major faith or not. you live what you believe. if you believe or dont believe in christ, fine, but it isn't any reason to dehumanize others. at least a person should be free to choose.

Religion over reason, China knows how well that works in North Korea, how Japan was before they dropped their primitive believes, how the Muslim countries is doing. How the world was when religion had the most influence. (the Dark ages)
@SaerdnaOoOoo Well, okay. Going by that argument, can we accept Athiesm?
I mean, there's one thing Islam, Atheism, Nazism, and Christianity all have in common: they are all people's beliefs.
Some of these people are simply more zealous than others in expressing their beliefs, to an extent where they resort to militancy. We apologize for times where we've offended others.
Like it or not, everyone has a belief. They must stand for it, even in the face of conflict and persecution.
@broadstreet2 Atheism is not a belief. It's simply someone that has not been indoctrinated or subscribed to any religion. There are allot of wickedness that are prohibited in that bronze age bullshit of religion.
Religious free schools shouldn't get supported by government, in fact religion should not have any power over government at all. Just see how well it works in north Korea and Pakistan etcetera.
@broadstreet2 What the dictionaries say. A belief doesn't need to involve a religion though, and it shouldn't be the head of a state or be supported by it. It's the three big Abrahamic, especially the totalitarian one. Though one can think what he wants and throw his money on such bullshit,but not from the State´s money.
What the state's need is more education and science. That will also be the solution for world poverty, I mean, the most effective in the long run.
You don't determine who's right and wrong from the authority of the and power of the speaker, but with logic. But you will never get that because your preachers tells you otherwise and you're stuck up with your circular logic. Thus you blind folds your self in front of all my previous points and arguments. Go watch some Chris Hitchen debates.
@SaerdnaOoOoo Hmmm... I believe I asked you why my previous question asking who you are to say that your view of what is moral is objectively so, is irrelevant. You never answered any of my questions. Did you not say "There are allot of wickedness that are prohibited in that bronze age bullshit of religion."?
@SaerdnaOoOoo You still haven't answered my question. What is wickedness? Who are you to say what is wicked? Did you not say "There are allot of wickedness that are prohibited in that bronze age bullshit of religion."? Why don't you back that claim up. Who makes you the judge of wickedness? What makes what you think on the matter objectively so?
@KPACHNbIBLOOD Wickedness in terms of what's unacceptable and indecent in a desired functional modern society if we don't add for fictional character to the equation with made up "objective" wicked morals. Everyone can claim their morals are objective, you have no genuine reason why the ones of the bible should be considered as it. Therefore I use reason rather than clinging to what people thought in the bronze age. We don't need to delude our self there is a god to have a functioning society.
@SaerdnaOoOoo Okay. Quote history, and remember, we're still talking about the "bronze age religion" and not religion is general. Also it must be objective or it doesn't count.
@SaerdnaOoOoo Also I'd like to point out that you say "Atheism is not a belief. It's simply someone that has not been indoctrinated or subscribed to any religion." Which isn't right. Atheism is a belief. Atheism is the belief that a God doesn't exist.
@KPACHNbIBLOOD It's subjective. Like preference in colour. In certain circumstances we can figure out which is the most decent. What are the most moral for a functional modern society , or what hair colour fits green eyes the best for example. But for intellectually lazy religious persons it seems like they prefer to believe it can't when it comes to certain matters that contradicts their irrational beliefs, because they are ignorant.
@KPACHNbIBLOOD No, that's only your opinion. Since we are the ones making the rules every peoples opinion, at least in this society determines what is wicked or not. Therefore our opinions are not mute. Now I've shown that I obviously can, have the right to state my opinion about this subjective matter and shown why it matters.
Everything isn't Objective, does gravity exist? Yes. It's an objective abstract.
Do you die if you chop your head off? Yes, that's an objective truth.
Which colour do you prefer? Subjective, opinion.
What's wicked, subjective, opinion. How ever,
Since it's subjective rather than objective the question is - what kind of world do you wanna live in? Don't let the world be consumed by the ancient religions, be reasonable.
@SaerdnaOoOoo if this is 2000years ago i was brought up during the hippie time many turn to religion some don't think there is God I'm one of them what if it is truth and it is truth.i only beei in to school for less then 12 years,i don't know about you my friends. what you say is what you belive, for me if Jesus is not truth it have been wept out 2000 years ago the roman try it. alll i can said that it is still real and moden He have delivered many of us who are herion addicted i'm one,
shut the fuck up,christ is not our GOD,.GOD better go to hell,we have a lot of things to learn intead of learning the fucking GOD who never make any impact on our culture.stop invading our cultures by brainwashing our brothers and sisters.shut the fuck up
This is a true Gospel, spoke it well. If we say we love Jesus, our action would justified instead of words alone. America needs to fall on her knees and seek God's grace & forgiveness. Self centerness must go. Lord has taught us to take up the cross and not just to look at it or ponder on it. He paid the greatest price for all of us, should we not do the same for Him. Great and encouraging video...
meaning what? What abt Buddhism isn’t that a religion? Shouldn’t ppl have the right to choose religion? Do we here in the west persecute ppl if they change religion or in case they have no religion?
@Robinsa Hello Robinsa. It is fair enough if you don't accept the lifestyle and teachings of Christianity. But certainly you don't object to religious freedom, basic human rights, and the ethical teachings of Jesus to love your neighbor and do well? Open Doors is not out to "put Christianity on people". Incidentally, many convert to Christianity because of the love shown to them by persecuted Christians and are drawn to the freedom and hope they find in the Bible.
@OpenDoorsUSA If any primitive religion is to be accepted then all primitive sick ideologies might as well be accepted to be preached. Islam is no better than Nazism. I don´t think your spiritual comfortableness is more worth than human society survival and progressing. You Want even china to turn it to a Palestine?
@Robinsa Right, maybe we should do what we do in America. Teach our children that they came from primordial soup, tell them there's no meaning to life, and that the only thing with intelligence in the Cosmos are big green headed aliens that live on a planet we haven't located yet? Maybe then China will learn how to tattoo their bodies and jam metal objects in their every orifice. Then they can get divorces, have babies with five different partners and get hooked on some prescription drugs?
@goffnett sorry my friend do you know God? I agree with you if 40 years ago i was a gang member drugs you name it i try it in and out of prsion. When God touch me is a different way of live got meaning in life.This christian don't need to go to prsion because of believe in Jesus.
Plz JESUS CHRIST where there is persecution send revival where there is hate send your love where there is no freedom send freedom to worship you openly and without shame, fill them right now, with your peace, your joy, your power, your perseverance to endure the hardship this world has inflicted upon your servant and your victory to overcome the evil 1
Give thanks to almighty God, as He pours down rays of hope into this world. He is a very generous and faithful Father. He is all around us right now. Pray for sustenance and improved relationships, through trust which is faith. Pray for protection, that His will may triumph. Pray for faithfulness to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep us faithful Father, comfort and protect us and bind us in faith. Amen

Why everyone would have to follow your shit. do you share so-called haven with Islam, which had advantage 500 years ago and may come back some day ---overseas Chinese
Ahem! OMGROTFLOLLMFAO!! Look, why don't you cut the **** and say religious people (Better yet, all people!) are persecuted for a vast many things in China and it really sucks that you might be a target of extreme violence if a government official sees you meditating/stretching/or doing anything at all that appears different. For the terrorist act of smiling oddly, you may be taken away to a slave-labor camp for the rest of your life without trial. Falun Gong! Viva la resistance!
Besides, why not Buddism or Taoism? Christian is just seemed as foreign as Grimm's Fairy Tales, when they talked about some stories about Jew, I feel they are tedious, we have nothing to do with them!
It is not an assumption, but truth. Everyone is sinful. Even me and you. All you have to do is look at your own life. The question is how do you fix sin and its dreadful consequences?
While you may believe that Darwin was correct, his theory leaves no room for forgiveness or love. Neither does Taoism or Buddhism. Without forgiveness or love, we have no chance.
We are all born sinful because of Adam. He was the first man and he was the first to sin and through him sin entered the world. Sin is passed on through the seed. Jesus Christ was born sinless because His Father was God and not an earthly father and He was born of a virgin so she was still pure. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and died on the cross so everyone that believes in Him will have eternal life. All you need to do is repent from your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
i'm not trying to be offensive here, but here is my understanding:
most ppl in CHina has a rather "negative" view of christian religions, not because of communism, but because of a number of historic reasons. example: the Christians in the Qing dynasty rebelled and took the southern half of china as their and made it into a "christian country", and during that time the native religions were persecuted a bit.
that is the reason why most chinese thinks that christians are "rebels" and "bad".
Christians don't believe that we are born criminals. We are just born into the sinful nature. What I mean by this. It is the ripple effect. You drop a pebble (the sin in this case) in a still pond. The ripples will eventually go thru out the whole pond and disturb it. We as Christians have to crucify ourselves. This means to not be selfish or live for ourself only. We are taught to be servant's to mankind. To love everyone regardless of race,country,or persons. I hope this helps your question.
A country whose most of people have chicken brains.
