Can Renren users share about Jesus, the Gospel and the Christian faith on Renren?

please dont bible bash this is one of the good points about China.
Preaching any religion in non-government approved surroundings (such as Ren Ren) and non-government approved doctrine is illegal and can get you kicked out of the country or banned from the website and endanger anyone who takes part in these types of discussions.
The Chinese government takes this kind of thing very seriously.
What Ex-pat said... also, what do the terms and conditions for RenRen usage say? Most websites have some sort of limitations on what's ok. Don't cross the lines, and yo're ok. If someone complains - you're not!
We are NOT here to Evangelize, proselytize etc. Believe me, the government and the schools take this VERY SERIOUSLY.
Now , the worst that can happen to you is that you are fined and deported, but those that you are trying to evangelize will face tougher penalties. So, for their sakes, DONT do it.
I think it is a legitimate question and no one is bible-bashing or proselytizing. Even though China prohibits people from recruiting new members to Christianity (no preaching or giving out free bibles) can people casually talk about on government censored social networking sites like pengyou, renren, or weibo? Or is even casual discussion on topics of religion censored?
Xpat.John:
Casual conversation in a private home is one thing. Talking about this online is another. ANY online or public discussions on this topic are illegal. It doesn't matter how low key it is. In the governments eyes you are still trying to influence others and cause "social disharmony".
I understand that your beliefs may be strong and you feel the need/responsibility to share, but for your sake and the sake of the people you talk to, don't.
Also, one thing to remember. Consider that ALL communications you do online in China is MONITORED. Nothing is just between you and a friend. It is between you, several hundred computer servers, government employees and private employees who must monitor your communication by government rule.
