Christianity In Vogue in China


How times change. I remember when I was a kid, i used to hear stories about chinese Christians being persecuted. Now it seems, Christianity has become a fashionable thing (see article in Economist on 21 April 05, linked above). I guess when a country opens up, its people get to choose what it wants. I hope Malaysia opens up more, too. I read recently it would allow Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia to be freely available but it must be restricted to non-Muslims only. Why? Dont they trust Muslims to be strong in their own faith? Has the millions of ringgit spent on furthering Islam been all for nothing, in that Muslims still need to be protected in this manner? I think this restriction is an insult to Muslims.

“So, I commend the enjoyment of life.” (From the Bible – really. Eccl 8:15)

  2. Hi! Dropped in from PPS, came across your blog a few days ago. Interesting to note your perspectives on life in Melbourne, cos I’m here as well (in uni). I do think about the systems here and back home, how everything’s different, from transportation to service attitudes, life generally..Oh, about the footy post, probably you could try going for one of their games? I don’t know much about the game but went for one last yr at Telstra Dome. Price’s reasonable -less than $16 and you get a decent view. You’d understand the rules much quicker..
