Nice job patronizing the person for their faith.

ScotsAlan:

I doubt very much this was a serious post. See how easy it was to find an answer. Reckon this was someone baiting. In any case, if this was a person of faith, someone who is thinking of setting up a Church no less, then surely he/she would be back to spread the word. Setting up an unauthorised Church in China?...... will end up in prison breaking rocks rather than breaking bread.

Tominbeijing:

You're obviously pretty ignorant about Christian observances in China. In a city the size of Qingdao there are probably thousands of home gatherings. You're right that this is not the place to talk about them.

coineineagh:

Did you register just to tell people off who mock this true believer? I'm sorry to disappoint, but this is likely a wumao baiting for leverage: Starting unions and religious movements in China is against the law, so every now and then we get a troll hoping to lure people into an alleged union (or in this case sectarian cult), probably hoping to score some blackmail money from them or their employers.

ScotsAlan:

Liberal retards !!!. Ha ha, I forgot Jesus was a republican, a white one at that. Conservative Christians.... the exact opposite of what Christianity teaches.

Tominbeijing:

Nope, just pre-empting the flow of moronic posts that are sure to follow the OP's simple question, several of which already exist proving my point..

“The measure was proposed by the heads and representatives of national religious groups”

like fuck it was! Bloody Global Times bullshit...

Ambi, national flags on churches is pretty routine throughout the world. I think you have never noticed or thought about it before. I first noticed this in Greece. They are almost as keen on putting their flag on a church as Americans are. Turkey and Israel are right up there too. I don't have a lot of middle eastern experience but i assume they are the same. Aussies aren't into flag waving in church very often unless there is a political reason.

I usually see them on the stage with the priest, leader, whatever, but not flying outside the building as you pass the building, which I think is the difference here, meaning the CCP, flag, not the cross we ordered torn down is your real GOD. So the church building is a proxy government building and service now.
