This is one of my biggest points when it comes to the religion discussions. Most Christians believe because they were brainwashed to when they were younger. Then, after they got a little older a book written by man conveniently answered all of their questions, well, most of them. But there is no real proof that one religion is better than the others. And most religions say there is one god and their god is the right god. Well, if that is the case then every other god is the wrong god. So what, a billion people are not allowed into heaven because they weren't born in a Christian country? Seriously.
I am a Christian, but I think the way we teach it is totally wrong. I think people need to question a lot more than they do. Take the Bible literally and Noah's Ark is ridiculous. Also, any mentally challenged person that couldn't accept Jesus Christ and become saved is going to Hell or at least not allowed into Heaven. Same for every child killed before they could truly understand God and religion. My god is a merciful god. People need to think before they try to teach others.

You've been listening to too much of the missionary propaganda that usually goes with passing the money plate. Have you ever been to China? I have...Twice. Christianity is a minor religion and in most places where there is a mission, a rice-bowl religion.
In my experience, you'll find more Atheists per square foot than any other place in the world. Nevertheless, Confucius still holds a lock on their morals and conduct.

Who are we to judge them. I will only say that the words of Jesus are being given to the whole world as written.
There are many in China who are excepting Christ Jesus as their savior through under ground missionaries. I work with one. The word says that every knee shall bow. This is my belief that no matter what people believe, they will one day see Christ in their mind and their heart will make a choice.
I cannot be sure what will happen to those who don't except him but I do know that the words of Jesus said if you deny me , I shall deny you to my father. What he binds on earth shall be also bound in heaven. What you sew, you shall reap.
If you do not believe these words, you have a 50/50 chance of being right. As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.

What path are you referring too?
Many Chinese are of different religions/faith.
I'd say the % of Christianity is rapidly growing since just within the past 5 years the government has allowed Evangelist to come preach.
But I don't have numbers for you.

They have chosen a different path.
Actually northern china is mostly Christian and is the fastest growing Christian community.

Maybe you should go there and tell them that to their faces since you seem to care so much.
Do you want Chinese people coming over here telling you what to do?

Just because it might be different from the path I walk, that doesn't mean it's wrong. People have to walk their own paths.
