I find this video hilarious
The hilarity is in the fact that this guy and his group, don't see where they're in the wrong. Let me be among the many that say this but it's obviously not getting out into the evangelicals auditory processing centers. China is communist. China is hosting the Olympics. China is older then America. China has it's own religions. China has it's own laws. China doesn't have to let you into China. China doesn't have to like or accept Christianity. China doesn't want it's populace influenced by radical evangelicals and their beliefs or their dilution of China's quite functional and historical religious belief system. YOU do not have to go to China. The American athlete are not their to represent a religious principle, they are there to represent the best and most gifted athletes our country can provide.
It amazes me how people go abroad and then have the nerve to be indignant about the local laws and customs of other countries. Hey buddy, before traveling try reading up on what is and isn't allowed in the country your going to. That's what embassies are there to assist you with. And is it me, or is it pretty ballsy to say just because he and his "flock" were turned away for their refusal to enter the country as guests and follow the countries laws, America as a whole shouldn't participate in the games? I for one am quite happy this radical nutjob wasn't allowed to go in to another sovereign nation and badger its citizens with religious rhetoric while they tried to enjoy the games. Leave it to Fox to be all over this one. Shock and Awe.
The games are games, not platforms to espouse your belief system.

Oh dear. Everything you said is correct. Christians are so 100% right as far as they are concerned that they can trample on everyone else. I was shocked at the attitude of the 'newsreporter' who was more anti-China then the preacher guy! I love America but they have no idea of how the real world goes about things. Maybe if we stopped bashing China for a change they will eventually open up to the world, including Bible and Koran wealding nut jobs!
