It's all very nice to believe what you believe and talk about it, a form of evangelism.
i have lived in china, I know what chinese people think.
they are very proud of their country, they are sick of being the odd man outl
they don't always agree with their governors, china is slowly changing, it is not even the china of 4-5 years ago.trnsformation anbde change takes years, look at the history of china in the last century. some history is good, some bad, lets' not point the finger, look inot our own government's responsibilities on the track record of human rights.
not everyone believes in god or jesus christ, but in china they started spiritualism with Taoism and Lao Tze was a great prophet for china.
Look at the ancient book of changes, 5000 years of history, this ancient book of wisdom was founded on the holy spirit speaking through the chinese ancient prophets, good for those people at that time and i even use its wisdom even now.
look if we are to be truly global then lets look at things globally, and realise that though it's good to be an idealist, we must look reality in the face and realise that this planet consists of different diverse peoples with different cultures and beliefs and if we talk about our cherished beliefs then let it be good for us, let's not form cexclusive clubs that only those that believe as we do can belong to that club and everyone else is suspect.
Human rights and a failure to adhere to them can be in every nation, even the richest or poorest.
the truth is that injustice exists on every level everywhere, it is just gratifying to know that sometimes there is a glimmer of justice occuring sometime somewhere.
religion and religiosity , ritual, belief systems sustains us as we walk through the valleys of shadows and death, in good times and bad.
I prefer to have an open mind and continue praying, accepting, not accepting,
the Serenity prayer says it all for me.
god Grant me the Serenity to accept the things i cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
I continue to pray for the poor, the dyinbg, the oppressed everywhere on this planet.
love and best wishes to all
