Beeb: China Going Christian?

BBC says huge numbers of Chinese are converting to Christianity. What, no Taoism, Confucianism, or Buddhism? It'll be interesting to see how the communist central govt deals with the growing demographic changes.

Very logical! The communists first destroyed (at least the infrastructure) of the existing religions and when China opened up the missionaries stepped in to fill the gap; in any case they had already been active there in pre-communist China. I bet when N Korea finally explodes this is what will happen their too. No wonder they have tied up with the Maoists in India: “u destroy the local religion, we then fill up the vacuum.”

This is not necessarily bad news. Only when Hindus get hit, there is some chance of them waking up.

North Korean will experience the flood of South Korean missionaries and born-again nutjobs. The US has done a thorough job of converting those people to its own unofficial religion.

Ok I get it - Italy is begging China for cash (previous post) and converting the Chinese with that cash.

On a serious note; maybe a good time for Kanchi Shankaracharya to revive Hindu diplomacy with China.

Are you serious?

For the last 1400 years we have been getting hit left and right, nowadays a bomb blast every couple of months.

Relying on the masses of Hindu idiots to wake up is futile, real conscious Hindus will always be a minority and it is us who will have to do what we can instead of waiting for the other morons to wake up.

When Shivaji started, do you think majority of Hindus supported him even though Hindu genocide was going on before their very eyes then as now?

@ Julian: Agree totally with you!

Julian, the times of Shivaji are very different from now. At that time there was only Islam and Hinduism. No left/atheism, pseudo seculars/ambedkarism, Christian infiltration/western indoctrination to mess up our minds. All Hindus seeked refuge only in their respective Hindu worlds. So let us not compare our present lot with that period.

Many Hindus who are now "real and conscious" were once pseudo secular, silly Hindus. There is a link between semitic aggression and Hindu awareness. When I try to explain about the dangers of semitics to my family and friends... examples of semitic aggression and hatred are the best way to open their eyes. It works.

Islamist Terror creates more Hindu awareness than Hindutva attempts. This is twisted but true. It is kaliyug and nothing is straightforward.

Why is there more Hindu awareness on the internet that on the ground. Because semitic aggression can and is exposed.
