As an agnostic Indian (Hindu family), I’d prefer if you don’t color entire religions and people with a broad brush. As for Christian missionaries abusing laws and forcibly converting people, please cite sources.
Religious and tribal dogma isn’t confined only to certain religions; feel free to believe what you want but try and exercise restraint against unequivocal labeling of others.
If you can paint Nazis and white supremacy beliefs in a broad brush, so can you criticize religions which unequivocally sentence people to hell for leaving the religion.
I have been flagged once and can be banned for "religious flamewar". I didn't know hackernews has blasphemy laws. So I won't comment anymore.
That would be nice, but it's not the case of China. As the article mentions, the crackdown merely affects independent churches.
If not, can you state exactly what you mean, and whether you believe it's good for China to crack down on non-state-approved churches while also having state-approved churches?
