IMAGES OF CHRISTMAS IN CHINA
‘Tis the season to be jorry.
Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
I demand a Confucius display!
In Mao’s day, religious belief was suppressed. Today the Communist Party tolerates it out of recognition that without strong values, China is destined to become a moral wasteland.
Which is why Xi Jinping has promoted Confucian values in the Party Higher School. Give a few decades and the Party’s ban on religious believers joining may well go the way of the Party’s former ban on the rich joining it.
The reason that Xmas is big in a country full of non-Christians? The same reason that even those who are hostile to Christ celebrate it here: it is a faux holiday originated by the spiritual god of this world. It is tangible proof that Satan exists.
Worse, in the post-Christian west, people who have outright hostility to the things that Jesus said and the conditions that Jesus stated in order to qualify for His free gift of eternal life, observe Xmas. We see this in the hostility these people have to how Jesus defines marriage as only being between one man and one woman.
It is time for people who obey what Jesus said to demand that people who repudiate what Jesus teaches with respect to same sex “marriage” also repudiate Xmas.
