If God is so important. Do Chinese have souls? Will they go all to hell? Please don't tell me about religious groups in China. They are marginal.

Joe - it was exactly this question when I was living in China that drove me towards atheism... When I asked my pastor if there were any Chinese people in Heaven, I was told yes - only those that had accepted Jesus into their hearts. I couldnt accept that as a valid answer. That was what led me onto the path of atheism.
Ive also wondered, since God's word is so important and since he loves all humans equally, why did he find it unnecessary to give his message to the peoples of the Americas for over 1600 years?? Does God not like those with red skin?
Its interesting to note that 4 people seem to think that my personal experiences deserve a thumbs down... How about you all take a healthy dose of FU? I mean, this was MY experience - and you have the gall to thumbs down it?? Yet Im expected to see your personal experiences of alleged "miracles" as being somehow valid? You people need to grow up.

If God is who God is, then the Chinese do live with God, as does everything in the universe. Our acknowledgement or worship of God has nothing to do with whether or not God exists or is in a relationship with humanity.

Same thing applies to Japanese,majority of them are atheists.
Today about one million Japanese are Christians (about 1% of Japan's population). Most of them live in Western Japan where the missionaries' activities were greatest during the 16th century.
Shinto and Buddhism are Japan's two major religions. They have been co-existing for several centuries and have even complemented each other to a certain degree. Most Japanese consider themselves Buddhist, Shintoist or both.
Religion does not play a big role in the everyday life of most Japanese people today.
What does this tell you? Religions are about geography, about the culture you happen to live in, not about truth.

People who have not heard the word will not go to hell. Your question was how can one billion Chinese live without God? Here is how Under extreme despotism with little to no freedom that's how.

Lots of people outside of China get along just fine without believing in God, too.
And everyone actually gets along without God, because God is imaginary. Lots of us get along just fine without such an imaginary Boss of Everything. We make our own moral judgments, and accept the world as it is.

Some have spiritual beliefs and believe in gods and others don't. It is this way all over the world. Are you racist or just ignorant?

god is important to you.
there are other equally (or even more) valid ways to experience the universe, or to approach spirituality.
besides... an hour later, they'd just be hungry for another communion cookie! (just kidding! calm down!)

God isn't so important. The Chinese manage fine. You are suffering from an inflated sense of the wonderfulness of Christianity.
