500,000 Visitors. 20,000 Bibles.
April 4, 2008

The gap in these two numbers pretty much sums up the friction between the way China and international critics view the religious situation in China.

If you evaluate the two terms separately “20,000 Bibles in China for the Olympics” sounds great. The Chinese government will be distributing 20,000 Bibles legally printed through the Nanjing Amity Printing Co, at the Olympics. These Bibles will be a given to visitors and placed in hotel rooms, representing a complete contrast to earlier rumors that the Bible would be banned completely from China’s Olympic Games…

I am not how much truth there is in this older article but China is supposedly expanding its production of Bibles.

Irregardless of how many bibles they produce or distribute it would be nice for some of the officials to actually read one and realize that their violation of human rights is a violation of the message put forward in the books they are promoting.

If all of the Bibles were left in China, which they will not be, that would be 1 Bible for every 66,000 people.
