As most of you know China is officially Godless. Chairman Mao was a fuckwit. That fact does not deter the Chinese believers however. It does not matter to them that The Committee Of 17 says that God does not exist. They answer to a higher authority !!

Fabulous choir videos, Paul.

The Chinese see the value in Christianity and let it grow. For all their other faults, at least they let their folks breathe free spiritually in that way. I trained Saudis for a long time, and what I found to be the most deadening thing in that land was the absolute religious conformism that is enforced on everyone.

They gave me a villa over there, and the day I got the key and went over to the house with a measuring tape for curtains and such. When I opened the front door I encountered the previous occupant, an American, holding a prayer meeting for a small congregation of Filipinos sitting on the few pieces of company owned furniture left in the place. Beholding the new occupant, these worshippers wrapped things up real fast because we were all in a situation that could have gotten our visas pulled and put us all on the next Saudia flights out of the country - including yours truly who'd innocently walked in on an illegal prayer meeting.

I asked around discretely about what I'd seen, and I found that there were a number of such efforts ongoing over there. There were supposed to be a few secret priests operating in the Kingdom doing christenings and other sacraments very quietly. The Sunni Saudis are so jealous and paranoid about their religion that they barely tolerate other sects of Islam in their country and would be glad to erase them by edict or by force if they could - and believe me they have tried that already. Shooting Shia is not a recent innovation.

But yeah, the dead hand of conformity as you write about in China, kills thought and creativity within a population. But then the Sauds own a unique nation. They don't need thought and creativity among their folk. They can live without it. When they need it, they import it from abroad. That will work as long as the petroleum flows. As nutty as my country is, I used to kiss the earth whenever I got back home.

I'm glad you liked the videos.

Chinese Chritians are free to worship as they please UNTIL they cross that line or UNTIL some Yellow Knight Of The HaNazee gets a bug up his ass. The reality is that it's much like Saudia Arabia in that if you don't do it the way you're told you stand a great risk of becoming an organ donor at a Liaoning " Hospital ". Did I mention that that would be an involuntary dodnor?

I have s Shia friend who once told me that Shia Muslims believe that Allah made two mistakes -- the Jews and the Sunnis.

How did you end up in Saudia Arabia? Are you a man of the cloth? A teacher maybe?
