What we don't know about Christianity

A good link. Christians suffered a lot for centuries.

 Christianity is persecuted in at least 50 countries including North Korea, China, Maldives, Myanmar and Central African Republic.

There are many instances of ancient Rome where they tried to override older religion and ultimately succeeded in doing this and similar cases of Islam where Egypt forget how they have done mummies, 

All civilizations rose from barbarism and violence and almost all religions have had to withstand the tyranny of past rulers.Probably Hinduism being the oldest religion has not seen such upsurge except the caste wars which go on till today...Catholic faith too was ridden with violence and severe blind belief , so a section protested against this and Protestant became another sect of Chrstianity. Now there are many different sects that dont see eye to eye with each other ..

Perhaps out of consistence persecution for centuries Christianity has took the shape as we are seeing it today.

wel, even I do agree Christians suffered a lot earlier, by reading the information given in the link mentioned above and some of the movies which i watched and some stories i heard.

Another amazing thing i came to know from this link article is

  More people go to church on a Sunday in China than in the whole of Europe.

Christians also persecuted and tortured before killing those who were no christuans especially during the inquisition

All along I was under the impression that China had more Buddhists. Anyhow this is another aspect i heard for the first time.

China has majority who follow Confucianism and after that it is Buddhism. Christianly is still a minority and as per latest figures with me just about 2-4% of the Chinese population is Christian.Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_China

 

I will like to add  that on my visit to Shanghai< I saw churches but no worshipers. Remember the Boxer rebellion was fueled by anti Christian sentiments which are still there.

True, There is a majority of Buddhism in China and surprisingly also almost as many muslims as Christians ...Then of course they have Taoism and Confucianism which are not religions but more a sect ..Another interesting fact is that only about 15% of the population is religious ..

Very interesting facts. My knowledge base has widened now. Thank you Usha.

Indian Christians follow all the traditions of Hinduism..In Mnagalore Catholics marry only converts from their own caste and this is dated back to several centuries , Brahmin converts s prefer to marry only Brahmins and there is opposition to inter caste marriage ! So, with conversion the dalits and other so called lower caste people do not get any better deal..

Here in AP christians wear Bindi and wear rings on their second finger of their legs which are 100 percent Hindu customs.
