I'm currently reading the book 'Mao: The Unknown Story' written by Jung Chang.
I can't put it down, it is like watching a train wreck. I'm only up to the mid 1930s - before he really earned his way into the pantheon of mass murderers - and he already was a clear sociopathic misanthropic murderer.
He was his god, and the center of his Universe. I can see why he is a role-model and hero to the Progressives. And he is a model of someone who rejects God and puts himself in that place.
“And he is a model of someone who rejects God and puts himself in that place.”
I’m not sure when the Christian missionaries were kicked out, but when China was open again the missionaries went back in, anticipating that there would be no Christians and they would have to start from scratch.
Instead they found a huge underground Christian Church of believers - exponential growth since they had left - millions. I was at a conference and one of the native Chinese gave a talk and ended it saying that the Christians in China prayed that America would see such persecution - so that our faith would increase.
I caught up with him afterwards. “Thank you for your presentation. And thank you for your prayers. But can you knock it off!?”
