Post by Dan Abbott about China's burgeoning Christian population.
I had many conversations about this in China. The typical line is, "We're all Confucians and that religion has no god."
I don't dispute that statement. I just find it doesn't rule out the accompanying rise of Christianity.
People are capable of many beliefs, and the Chinese strike me as unusually practical in this regard: find more need, find more religion.

I have a friend who is a Lisu tribesman and evangelist. He lives in Thailand. When I meet him 20 years ago he was smuggling Bibles into China. He was in the US this past month to raise money to pay for 50,000 Bibles that the Chinese government has authorized to be printed in the Lisu language. 20 years makes a big difference. maybe this is the begining of the spiritual awakening in China that Tom predicted.
