China Takes Bibles From U.S. Christians

(August 17, 20080—A U.S. Christian group says Chinese customs officials confiscated hundreds of Bibles from visiting members.

The leader of Vision Beyond Borders says customs officials took the Bibles from group members' luggage after they had landed at a southwestern China city.

Members of the Wyoming-based group had more than 300 of the Chinese-language texts.

They had planned to give them out to local residents.

An official at the airport's customs office denied confiscating the Bibles, but said authorities were just "taking care" of them.

She gave no further details.

In China, Bibles are printed under supervision of the Communist government.

The officially atheistic country only allows them to be used in government-sanctioned churches and in some big hotels catering to foreigners.

Nice going. Typical of a Christian to push their beliefs on others.

I agree with Sand and Dave, we dont all believe in the same god, therefore we have no right to go to another country pushing ours. Im sure we would be offended if muslims or buddhist came over and said, "you need our religion, yours is not the right one". Be thankful you are in the U.S. and have the right to choose your religion. The way i see it, just be glad people believe in religions that promote peace and faith, because thats what religion should be.
