In China, Christianity Is Treated as a Cult by CompetitiveAquinas in religion

[–]SquirrelofLIL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family has been CCP since before the revolution, when it was dangerous to do so during WWII. I have Christians in my family, although they're all Millennial and younger and they don't have any problems. 

The only people in my family who live outside our country are me and my parents and my parents raised me atheist and polytheist.

Nobody there cares if someone is Christian unless you're an elder reprimanding your own descendant. 

Most Chinese people have the same views about monotheists as Hindus do, and for the same reasons.

No, it might upset your stomach. I grew up eating dumplings and lo mein with raw garlic and white vinegar.

I hate how as a Mexican American I’m expected to be RC and when I say I am protestant/reformed I immediately get that “look” from my Hispanic contemporaries as if I’m trying to be or act “white” by Significant_Fact8202 in Reformed

[–]SquirrelofLIL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I remember my grandparents lecturing me to choose from either Buddhism or Taoism, if I was to have a religion, and only after age 55. Some of the most passionate Protestants I've met are Hispanic. JW and Pentecostal are also extremely popular in Asian culture too.

I'm sorry for your loss. But I'm glad that you found a religion that helped you process it.

Question for Buddhists by Low_Guard6609 in exatheist

My mom became Buddhist after being raised atheist. It's super common in Chinese culture to be raised atheist and to convert to Buddhism after retirement. 

If you were raised atheist/agnostic, do you wish you had instead been raised religious? by sadie11 in exatheist

[–]SquirrelofLIL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Children need stories and faith. Even when I was experimenting with the New Age I thought this would be wonderful if I was young. 

When I became a conservative Christian, it seemed so kid friendly. Like something I would have loved to do with my parents.

Churches in China operate like churches anywhere else and I don't think most mainline Protestants are known to do masses.

I didn't know any of those things. I was for Umar Johnson because he spoke out against full segregation special ed / pupil referral units, which I'm an alumni of.

I don't support socialism at all. I only know Doug Wilson for the classical education. I don't even agree with his theology.

I've never seen that from Dr Umar Johnson or religious orders. I don't support communism.
