Shinto maybe?I dunno. i do know that none of my japanese acquaintances are any more religious than a housecat.
The japanese who do some religious observance are very seldom christians.
let alone fundies.
Given that scientists are pushing back the boundaries of ignorance further and further every year do you think that this generation of creationists could well be the last generation of creationists?
When you look at what has happened in the last 50 years it makes one wonder what the next 50 years will bring.
Please let's not argue for or against this advancment of knowledge let's just accept that it will come no matter what.
Over 200 replies and you are the only one with a problem, are you an ex creationists who is perhaps not as ex as he would like to be? or are you just hung up on something?Wow consol, you don't even try changing your style do you? Insipid question as the thread "topic", check. Question begging in OP, check.

Consol must have really got under your skin for you to be so bitter and some people still do find AV interesting,Some people just don't remember you. And some people still find AV interesting. YMMV.
One per city? That's like none considering the population in China.
No no no. Mao succeeded when he was alive. His value system totally collapsed after China opened to the world. In terms of banning religions, he did not even make a small bubble in Chinese history.
CIA factbook:Yes. But if you counted the head, they are a lot. I would say about 2% (?). But that is only for Christian. Population of Buddhist and Muslim are way higher. May be > 30% in total?
CIA factbook:
Religions:
Daoist (Taoist), Buddhist, Christian 3%-4%, Muslim 1%-2%
note: officially atheist (2002 est.)
That is why CIA always screws thing up.

Seems to imply that the listing is from largest to smallest. But it's also in alphabetical order. Could that really be?This entry is an ordered listing of religions by adherents starting with the largest group and sometimes includes the percent of total population. The core characteristics and beliefs of the world's major religions are described below.
From the link.

Yes Obie-wan, we realize that you have wisdom and knowledge beyond all the scientists and the CIA combined.
-- Way to go, Juve! and here I thought you were C3PO!
Allowing for that you attach no numbers to subjective words like "succeeded", 'totally" and "small bubble', for once i agree with you.
The disinterest in religion has far more to do with cultural history and intelligence / sophistication than with mao.

I don't find this very sophisticated but rather, very sad!! Right from the CIA. These people could use a little prayer. If sophistication means we can't be bothered by the little people than to H--- with sophistication!! I for one pray for these people and will continue because they NEED God. I will continue to pray for you too Hespera, for though you don't realize it, you too, NEED God.
Transnational Issues:
"current situation: China is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor; the majority of trafficking in China occurs within the country's borders, but there is also considerable international trafficking of Chinese citizens to Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America; Chinese women are lured abroad through false promises of legitimate employment, only to be forced into commercial sexual exploitation, largely in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan; women and children are trafficked to China from Mongolia, Burma, North Korea, Russia, and Vietnam for forced labor, marriage, and prostitution; some North Korean women and children seeking to leave their country voluntarily cross the border into China and are then sold into prostitution, marriage, or forced labor"

As for the trafficking, i am aware of that, and i'd guess i have known more about it longer than you-just a guess. We have it here in the USA too of course, tho on a much smaller scale.
its one of the worst things that exists in the world, and it goes on all around us, and nobody seems to be interested.
"God" does not seem to be doing anything about it but maybe some day people will wake up...
