Give me that bible

The Olympics have been great for so many reasons: watching the amazing athletes, seeing the pride they have for the countries they represent (and getting a geography lesson at the same time), and seeing the different cultures.  China is a beautiful country and the stories on the culture have been fascinating.  However, there are some very troubling stories that have also been brought to light during the Olympics:

  • The little girl who sang at the opening ceremonies was not cute enough for TV:

BEIJING (AP) — One little girl had the looks. The other had the voice.

  • Olympic protest requests are not being processes by the Chinese government:

BEIJING (ESPN)– Chinese authorities have not approved any of the 77
applications they received from people who wanted to hold protests
during the Beijing Olympics, state media reported Monday.

  • Bibles were confiscated at the Beijing airport:

BEIJING, China (CNN) — Four members of a Christian group from
the United States are refusing to leave an airport in China after
authorities confiscated their 300 Bibles, the group’s director said
Monday.

I am sure this is just the short list of things that are going on with little to no media attention.  President Bush has been doing a fair job to condemn China’s stance on human rights.  The Olympics should not be a platform for politics, but it has severed as a magnifying glass for China.  It serves as a good reminder for the religious freedom we have here in the United States.  Thank God for that!!!
