In China, they're closing churches, jailing pastors - and even rewriting scripture

15. I believe I am well-known for not following usual standards here.

Expecting that to change is an exercise in futility, I'm sure.

I must say that I'm at a loss, though, to understand guillaumeb's frequent posts regarding religious oppression in China. He never seems to offer any suggestions as to what we might do to change that. In fact, it seems as though he posts such things whenever someone points out something a Christian group or individual has done that is somehow harmful. Perhaps he's trying to tell us something by presenting some sort of equivalency message.

However, it's not directly equivalent at all. Today, the China post appears to be related to a post about some Christians in Israel throwing Molotov cocktails to protest a satirical work of art that depicts Ronald MacDonald nailed to a cross. Apparently those Molotov cocktails are justified in Israel because China has shut down a church. I can't see the equivalence, but Guy can, apparently.

It's often confusing around here, so I just muddle along as best as I'm able.
