IN the NEWS - Banning the Name of Christ

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.... John 15:18

Let's be honest---it's a Godless, Atheistic Communist government so are you really shocked?
 
"The Chinese Communist Party’s new law – dubbed the “Measures
for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services
” – prohibits individuals and organizations from posting religious information on the internet unless they have first obtained permission from a provincial government department.
Early Rain Covenant Church, a Chinese congregation, recently discovered the far-reaching impact of the new law. 
Using the messaging app WeChat, a church member tried posting the names of eight books for members of a reading group, asking them to vote on their favorite. Among the titles: The Defense of the Faith by Cornelius Van Til, Tradition and the Individual Talent by T. S. Eliot and The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis.
But the WeChat app rejected the post, saying the word “Christ” was not allowed.
“The word ‘Christ’ you are trying to publish violates regulations on Internet Information Services, including but not limited to the following categories: pornography, gambling, and drug abuse; excessive marketing; incitement.” Proestia
