Rubbish. Do you know China has more number of christians than nigeria.

China has a christian population of more than 1,349,585,838, U.S.A (316, 668,567), Nigeria (174,507,539), Russia (142,500,482), Japan (127,253,075).

The mumu is actually you. Winner01 is trying to tell you that despite the many troubles Christians are facing in China, their growth has gone on unhindered and even the ban cannot stop it because as they say in media, bad publicity is good publicity. Anything that can make a whole government which happens to be a super power jittery and show a complex, must be very powerful.

Chinese population of Christians far outweigh those of Nigeria and is still climbing, ban or no ban.

I honestly do not understand you guys obsession with atheist convention or Atheist meetings. There is absolutely no motivation for convinced atheists to meet. I have a convinced atheist for close to 30 years and I have never attended an atheist meeting (I didn't even know there are such things), I have never joined any atheist group online. I only post here on nairaland to counter you arrogant and sorry to say, ignorant Christians who makes loads of ridiculous false claims.

If it was a technology convention, I would be interested, if it was a physics convention, I would be interested, even a convention to discuss paleontology and evolution would greatly interest me, but an atheist convention? No.
You have been an atheist for close to 30 yrs? How old are you? Oh Lord. I use to consider you a teenager based on your line of thoughts and presentation of points.

Here is a man who calls Christians ignorant. WOW.

Ironically the ones hazardous to humanity in China is the atheist Chinese government which has on record a breath taking 60 million killings/murders on their hands within 25 yrs and in the last four decades Christianity in China has experienced an unprecedented growth and this present atheist government is now afraid and so is clamping down on Christianity same way his predecessor did.

Fear done finish the guy. grin

I guess you didn't know that the atheist Chinese government was responsible for about 60million killings/murders in China alone and most of them by public executions. 60 million people in 25 yrs which translates to about 2.4 million deaths a year. What a toxic, hazardous, atheistic government.

The killings back then could not deter the growth of Christianity and this one is already showing that it most definitely cannot stop it as well.

The truth they say is bitter but I had to just tell you

But did you know that killing and murdering is not the only hazard that can come from a villain?

Maybe Christian case is worser than killing and murdering

After all God first started mass killings so it's not a new thing undecided

Wrong! Is there anything worse than taking the life of a person unwarranted? Simply because they did not buy into your atheistic government you went on a killing spree. How sad and how sadistic can atheists be.

There is nothing "worser" than murder mr man. Murder means termination of a life and not beat him and let him go.

By the way, google is your friend and if you use it, you will discover that all the murders and killings by atheists led governments worldwide in the last 100 years when combined is far far greater than all the deaths from wars, Crusades combined IN HISTORY.

we are talking about close to 200million killings and murders from all atheist leaderships worldwide in just the last 100 years.

If anything can be said to be hazardous to humanity, then that thing is atheism.

God brought judgement. The soul that sins shall die.

God also brought redemption.

However atheists who decided to play God now outdid God 10 times over with no redemption plan in view.

Still the same thing I said. God brought judgement.

The flood was judgement as clearly stated in scriptures.

What reason did the atheist governments have to kill and murder as if they were clearing grass and for many it was done through public executions just to spread fear and cause the people to cower in dread.

God is the owner of his creation so he has the right to judge. What has an atheist ever created that he would have the right to terminate? Yet they terminated a combined figure of almost 200million in just 100 years. Something that ALL THE WARS AND CRUSADES IN THE HISTORY of mankind have been unable to come close but they in their usein Bolt bigoted approach broke all records.

Stale news from last year. Atheists no longer feel the need to go all the way to Australia to meet because we have atheists in every city now. wink
But for the record, it will be in the history that atheist reason to Hope failed.

Even if the Australian atheists care to attend that will be a good number in hundreds.

Even yourself knew atheism is hopelessness, with the fact that atheist admitted that life is purposeless, just live and die. Where is the hope?

Actually Christianity is still booming in China despite the crackdown

Although we still have serious infringements on the fundamental rights of people to freedom of worship. Like Christians held by police in chinese
government crackdown
.

hundreds of Christian pastors jailed, face being poisoned for trying to preach gospel

China bans churches' to create safe environment' for G20 summit, in another excuse for the officially atheist government to silence religious views it does not agree with?

North Korean border guards are
now watching for products coming in from China that bear
markings resembling the Christian cross and blocking their importation into the country, in a bid to eliminate all traits of christianity forever, as if prohibition of christianity was not enough.



The truth remains that, [url=evangelicalfocus.com/world/1851/Christianity_is_growing_among_Chinese_youth]if religion is left to itself, it will always grow.[/url]





Secondly, I do not know what god engaged in mass murder.

Non humans do not murder. The word murder is meant exclusively for humans. A lion that attacked a man fatally cannot be said to have committed murder. Lions are not murderers

That being said, if you've ever sold or repaired any of your property, you can be said to be guilty of your accusation considering the fact that those properties are inanimate and you didn't even create them.

If one creates something and destroy it, he has all the right.
The Almighty God who created humanity has the right to withdraw or cancel out His creation whenever he wishes, with no one to question such authority. After all we didn't ask to be created.

Mazda automobile company took and destroyed a significant part of their creation, and it was perfectly understandable

So why are mere humans concerned when their Creator decides to take them back, like they have any authority to question their Maker.

You see, your authority ends on ranting on social media. You do not have the right or ability or authority to question your Maker. Your Maker owes you nothing.

God is not the man you have created in your brains. Gods has all the authority you can ever imagine, including complete authority over your life.

The third annual Global Atheist Convention, ironically dubbed “Reason to Hope,” has been cancelled due to dismal ticket sales, The Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Wire reports.

Turns out, offering nihilism packaged as “hope” doesn’t sell too well to the masses.

The conference, which was scheduled for February of this year, was set to be headlined by atheist novelist Sir Salman Rushdie, who was a huge get for the convention organizers. Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Rushdie in 1989 in light of his published work, “The Satanic Verses.” The book targeted the prophet Mohammad, Sikhs, and religion in general.

“What is there to respect in any of this, or in any of the crimes now being committed almost daily around the world in religion’s dreaded name? How well, with what fatal results, religion erects totems, and how willing we are to kill for them,” Rushdie once critically said of religion, SMH notes.

Fellow atheist Richard Dawkins was also on the anti-God roster.

And what atheist convention would be complete without depressed, atheistic comedians distracting us from our void and utterly meaningless existence?

“Alongside the thinkers, there was also going to be the ‘entertainers,'” notes SMH. “Comic atheism is a particularly strong strand, and religious pomposity provides it with plenty of material. No doubt there was to be a feast of gloating about census figures.”

The author of the SMH report, Anglican Rector Dr. Michael Jensen, writes that he is personally “disappointed” that the conference was cancelled.

“It’s a great shame there’s a lack of interest,” said Jensen. “I say that as someone who believes in God and thinks that it is the most reasonable thing to believe. … But I also think that the full and frank discussion of fundamental ideas is part of what a healthy culture promotes and enjoys. A Global Atheist Convention is to be welcomed, because every time people think about God and about the meaning of life is a time we more deeply consider the value and purpose of human life. It makes us better citizens.”

“But what really is the poison in the blood is not religion: it is apathy,” added Jensen. “Human beings don’t need religion to be vile. We can be vile perfectly well without it. Even viler, I’d argue.”
