Outrage

I know that I'm not read by a lot of people, but I just heard this on the news about five minutes ago.

The 2008 Olympics are just around the corner and the stadiums are still being built and events are still being planned. I love the Olympics and I enjoy watching several events and even find myself cheering for the country that I happen to be living in, along with my beloved America.

HOWEVER, this year I am at the moment planning on banning any talk of the Olympics. I usually run some sort of Olympic event at my school in our annual field day when we have classes compete against classes. The China government has decided in all it's wisdom to BAN THE BIBLE...Now let's get this straight...They are not going to allow ANY bible to be brought into the country or into the Olympic Village itself. Can you believe this. They are SOOOO worried about this book that they are banning it. That must mean that we as Christians are doing something right that they are fearing God. Now just to take this to a politically correct stand, they are not banning ANY other religious book such as the Quran. Those are okay...it is ONLY the bible that they don't want in the country.

I think it will be EXTREMELY inappropriate to send our athletes to these games. We have boycotted games before. I think it is time to do it again. Now, will it happen? Not a chance...now-a-days the games are more about money than anything else. But I have no doubt in my mind that there will be SOME athletes that make the right choice and choose GOD over sports. We need to understand that this is the new and latest attack on Christians.

I am asking those that do read these posts keep up on the news of this story. If this becomes reality I am asking that you too make the choice NOT to watch the games in any way. Turn off the tv, turn off the news, Let your government know that this is not okay. We need to make this stand. We can't allow a country to impose it's views on the world simply because they are hosting a world wide games...You choose what is more important to you...I choose Christ...who will join me....

Get the word out people. Let's make this right.
