Bibles are banned during London Olympics 2012 « News that matters

Although Bibles with the Olympics logo were handed out in Communist China, they won’t be at London 2012.

London ban Bibles and exposure of anything Christian during the Olympics.

Under the Communist regime in China, the Bible Society was able to hand out copies of the Good Book with the Olympic logo emblazoned on the front cover at the 2008 games. At London 2012, however, it has been ruled out.

“The idea was to give them out during the Olympics, as a Christian welcome to our country,” says the society’s spokesman, Rachel Rounds.“We had a special sports Bible prepared, with extra information in the front about what the Bible has to say about sport.”

The charity has now abandoned the idea because of Olympic rules regarding the use of the logo.

“The Olympic movement has always been clear that it should not be used to promote any religion,” says a source at the Games. “We have a multi-faith centre at the Olympic Park, where people can find Bibles. In Beijing, these Bibles appeared out of nowhere. They were not approved by the Chinese government.”

My comment:

It is high time for evangelical Christians to accept that the Post Christian society in the West, is more anti-Christian than many totalitarian dictatorships.

So please stop playing by the rules set by anti-Christians, and start working like the persecuted early Church. You do not ask pagans for permission. Just do it.

Secular and hedonist nations like the UK, Sweden and Norway do not want to know anything about sin and judgment. They like to believe that there is no “god” and no consequences of a life in denial.

Many Muslims fails to understand how nations they consider to be Christians can turn completely godless.

For Hindus it is close to impossible to imagine that a man can deny that there are “gods”.  Many Muslims and Hindus search for the truth about “god”.  They are right in their projections, that the Western nations are the most ungodly of them all.
