China tries to quash underground churches

First it was activists, then human rights lawyers and artists. Now China's crackdown on dissent is focusing on so-called underground Christians.

Quote:Despite the attention from authorities, we did manage to speak to local house church leader Zheng Datong.

He told us Christianity propagates the existence of God, charity, love, virtue and is against corruption.

So, Pastor Zheng says, it is possible that corrupt officials are threatened by it.

I think he hit the nail right on the head with that last sentence.

China does some crazy things. Why take religion away from people. Haven;t they read the history books. Make something illegal and it's use will become more widespread.
