I Thought The "Great Satan's" Religion Was Money?
Of course, religious persecution is nothing new for a Marxist based "people's republic" but, you'd at least think they'd have a better grip on their own history.
"The Christian religion is America's religion, and is not allowed here."
Ironically, the Christian religion was brought to Vietnam by the nation that colonized it; France. Although Christianity played a dominant role in American history -- as it did in European civilization -- it is hardly "America's religion." To the contrary, the state and those who rally to its cause (the left) have been quite active of late in efforts to diminish Christianity's role in public life (of course, Islam gets a pass).
I have to remind readers that this writer is not a Christian, or even vaguely religious for that matter but, I have to consider that one religion's (Marxism) disdain for another does not offer an impressive guiding principal for governing.
The Vietnamese people are natural born capitalists which means, by nature, in matters of faith they can believe in any or no religion. Many Vietnamese who came to America with nothing are now wealthy and successful (after having risked their lives to escape their own homeland -- colonized by German authoritarian intellectual philosophy).
The best thing the Vietnamese government can do is give up their allegiance to that old-time religion imported from Europe (Marxism) and then "wither away" the way the state is supposed to do according to Marx.
"America's religion"...give me a break...
