[quote=PINETREE ,30388]So the summary of the discussion is :-1. No, the Chinese don't believe in God (be it Bible's, Koran's or whatever.. ). 60 mln of Christians + the approx 80-100 mln Muslims ++ are just a small fraction of 1.2 bln.2. Certain religions tend to hardsell - this is bad. The ignorant tend to accept. So in real fact, it could be less than the above figure of real believers.3. There is a tendency for believers to become fanatical, less open-minded and lose their logics- they become blindly faithful. Not arguing about right or wrong here.4. Yes, Chinese tend to believe in fate( as Alexander commented) and punishment for evil doers.Personally, I am not religious though I also believe in a Creator(may it be singular or jointly). Also I am happy that China are not bound by religious beliefs such that it may affect its people & progress technically/economically/ culturally, etc, etc. Don't believe that non-believers of faith will be bad. Look at Bush - after bombing thousands of Afghans, he claimed that he didn't kill any innocent lives, followed by "God Bless USAmerica" ! He will go to Heaven. Religions are just a BELIEF - a belief of a heaven(for believers - not necessary good doers) & hell(for non-believers, not necessarily bad doers) ; a belief that eveil doers will be forgiven(what else can they do?) & a belief that there is everlasting life(for what, I wonder?). To the Christian faith, beliveing in Yesu is compulsory to go to heaven & join him in everlasting life. If u do bad, just ask for forgiveness. Amen.[/quote]
