| Quote: | Many people who claim to be Christians believe that any religion one
professes is all right. But if Christianity is not superior to other
religions, then as Professor D.S. Sama has noted, "it just may as well
join hands on equal terms as their friend and ally in a common cause".
The majority of the world's religions are more of a philosophy of life
than a religion, and those that are religious usually incorporate many
gods. In the Hindu religion, as an example, one can essentially do as he
wishes; follow any ritual or custom he chooses, and still be a Hindu.
They accept the principle that all religions are true and lead to the
same goal. Then there is Buddhism. Gautama Buddha was married
and had a child. At age 30, he abandoned his home and family never to
return. This he supposedly did in answer to an inner craving that was
not satisfied. He sought for inner peace through a life of abstinence
and asceticism.
According to tradition, Buddha received enlightenment while sitting
under a "bo tree" meditating. There is no way of knowing what part of
Buddhist teachings came from Buddha himself since no record of his
teaching seems to have been committed to writing for over 200 years.
Then too, Buddhism in its original form was not a religion at all. It
was more a system of psychological ethics. Buddha felt no particular
need for a god. To him, worship was useless and prayer empty.
Confucius claimed to be an agnostic concerning the next life and the
world of the gods. His mind was immersed in the affairs of this life. To
him, human nature was naturally good. He did not object to ancestor
worship. His primary interest was in society and the state.
Mohammed, the founder of Islam, was married and had twelve or thirteen
wives, not counting slave girls in his harem. He did teach the concept
of "one God". He was active in civil, political, and military affairs.
He led armies that in time captured the territory of Arabia. The
teachings of Mohammed were soon recorded in what is known as the Koran.
Of course, like Confucius, Buddha and others, Mohammed went to his grave
and remains there.
When one turns to Christianity with Judaism as its forerunner, many
things stand out by way of comparison. The first is a strict monotheism.
Jehovah God is the Creator and the sustainer of the universe, of life
and of all things. This is in striking contrast to a gross polytheism
found in the majority of religions, Islam being an exception. Only in
the Judaeo-Christian religion does one find a logical, sensible, and
reasonable explanation of the creation. The accounts of creation found
in other that the Genesis record are written on a low mythological plane
with a sordid conception of deity. At times the gods plot and fight
against one another.
Only in Christianity do we find a prophetic message heralding one who
is to be sent out from God as man's deliverer and Savior; the only
begotten Son, designated God with us and known as prophet, priest, king,
wonderful, counsel-or, mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace.
(Read Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:21-23; Hebrews 3:1). This prophetic story
has its setting in Jewish history centuries before the birth of Christ.
Moses told how God would raise up a prophet to whom the people should
listen. Deuteronomy 18:15. Micah said he would be born in Bethlehem -
Micah 5:2. The entire 53rd Chapter of Isaiah describes him as God's
suffering servant, sent out from the Lord to redeem mankind from sins.
Joseph was told, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew
1:21. This puts Christianity into a category all to itself.
When Jesus was born, numerous forces and factors converged on this
event to confirm the message of the prophets. Ma ry, his mother, was
reminded by an angel that her conception was divinely authorized. Read
Luke 1:26-35. Joseph, who was engaged to Mary, was informed by the angel
that her conception was of the Holy Spirit - Matthew 1:20. The angels
announced his birth to the shepherds Luke 2:5-11.
John the baptizer was commissioned to prepare the way for Jesus. Read
John 1:23-34.
Jesus immediately affirmed His divine nature. He said He had come down
from heaven to do the Father's will - John 6:38-39. He claimed to be
"the living bread", John 6:51; "the light of the world", John 8:12; "the
Good Shepherd", John 10:14; "the resurrection and the life", John 11:25.
He supported His claim by miraculous works, even to raising the dead.
Read John 11. The climax came when He was placed in the tomb and came
forth on the third day. (This record is found in Matthew 27 and 28; Mark
15 and 16, and Luke 23 and 24).
For a period of 40 days after His resurrection, He appeared to His
apostles instructing them about His coming Kingdom. Read Acts 1:1-5. At
the end of this period, He ascended into heaven. Acts 1:9 reads, "And
when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and
a cloud received him out of their sight." Verses ten and eleven inform
us that two men in white clothing stood beside them and said: "Ye men of
Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have
seen him go into heaven." Here, briefly stated, is why we choose
Christianity. It is validated by a RISEN LORD!
Yawn ... you freedumb of religion fuckers are so stupid you are STILL
waiting for the "Second Cumming"? What the HELL do you the the
"Resurrection" was?
ROTFLMM-FAO...you idiots don't even realize you're actually waiting on the
"Third Cumming" and if He actually showed himself to His apostles for 40
days after His resurrection He would be on more like His "43rd Cumming" eh?

to recognise what is true, one has only to look at what has always existed;

Top 10 Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other
religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people
evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical
claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune
God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to
Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah
slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination
of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods
sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit
impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back
to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the
scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find
nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting
in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception
of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects
- will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your
religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed
to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in
"tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered
prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think
that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about
the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a
Christian.

Doubtless slavery would spring into prominence in almost any land

The Registrar General was not the only official at Hong Kong who did
not believe in the extermination of slavery, as we shall proceed
to show, although the Governor had strong sympathy from the Chief
Justice.
On May 30th, 1879, Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of the Colony of Hong
Kong, wrote a letter for the information of the Governor, Sir John
Pope Hennessy, to the effect that he had sentenced, on the previous
day, two poor women to imprisonment with hard labor, for detaining
a boy 13 years old. The women sold the little boy to a druggist for
$17.50. The relatives traced their lost boy, came from Canton and
claimed him, but the druggist refused to give him up, producing a
bill of sale, and the boy was not given up until they appeared in the
police court. The Chief Justice adds:
"I am satisfied from the evidence that the great criminal is this
druggist, and that it is an opprobrium to the administration of
justice to punish these poor women as I have done, and allow the
druggist to escape. I therefore ask His Excellency to direct that
proceedings be forthwith taken against the man, and that the case
be conducted at the magistracy by the Crown Solicitor, so that he

passageway, asked me if I wished to come to the Mission, and I
said 'Yes.' My mistress had gone out into the next room, leaving
her daughter and another slave girl in the room. I said I would go
at once, and he brought me. I am very glad to live here and lead a
good life."
No. 3. The rescuer was requested to meet a girl at the corner of
Stockton and Jackson streets. She did so. K---- Y---- was comely
and refined looking. She had been sold into a brothel at a tender
age. When about 22 she met a young Chinese man who wished to marry
her, and he paid down $600 for her, promising $1,400 more in time.
Another man objected to the sale, because the girl had mortgaged
herself to him for $600. Through the Mission the girl was released
from her bondage, and remained at the Mission one year and then
married the first man, and they left San Francisco and resided for
a time in an inland town. Here an effort was made to kill her in
her own garden one evening. Her husband brought her back to San
Francisco, and later she went back to China.
No. 4. Came from a brothel on Spofford alley. She was occasionally
allowed to attend the (Chinese) theatre. One evening when at the
theatre she had word conveyed to the Mission to come get her

the rescuer entered the room, from the front tier of seats, and
seizing the hand of the missionary in the presence of them
all climbed over the backs of two seats, regardless of their
occupants, and escaped. Later she was married and returned to

after six months the Judge committed the child to the Home, and
the mother was made very happy.
No. 6. She ran into the Mission leading her little son. She was
chased to the very door of the Mission, but kept her pursuers
at bay, by means of a policeman's whistle which she held in her
mouth, walking backward and threatening to blow it if they dared
touch her child. She was a widow with this only child, and her
relatives were bound to sell her into an immoral life and take the
boy away. After being in the Mission a few months she became a
Christian. Her little boy was placed in an orphanage. Later the
widow married respectably.
No. 7. This girl was aged 14 when rescued, and had been placed in
a vile life four weeks before. Two days later she was taken to
court on a writ of habeas corpus. Her case was put off three
times, and finally came to trial. The Judge remanded the girl to
the custody of the M.E. Mission Home. He said, on dismissing the
case, that never in all his experience had he listened to such
perjury, and that the alleged mother should be punished to the
fullest extent of the law for her lying. The girl seemed very
happy and contented in the Home, but nine days after she was
committed to it she was again taken out on a writ of habeas
corpus and appeared before another Judge, who returned her to the
brothel-keeper. (This was before the new guardianship law came
into operation).

Women are bought and sold in nearly every brothel in the place.
They are induced by specious pretexts to come to Hong Kong, and
then, after they are admitted into the brothels, such a system of
espionage is kept over them, and so frightened do they get, as to
prevent any application to the police. They have no relatives, no
friends to assist them, and their life is such that, unless goaded
into unusual excitement by a long course of ill-treatment, they
sink down under the style of life they are forced to adopt, and
submit patiently to their masters. But cases have occurred where
they have run away, and placed themselves in the hands of the
police; who, however, can do nothing whatever toward punishing the
offenders for the lack of evidence, the women being afraid to
tell their tale in open court. Women have, it is true, willingly
allowed themselves to be sold for some temporary gain; but that
brothel-keepers should be allowed to enter into such transactions
is of serious moment. I have myself |

would beat me for no reason. I used to get so tired working hard,

beat me on the back. Another day she would beat me thus with the
fire tongs. One day she took a hot flat-iron, removed my clothes,
and held it on my naked back until I howled with pain. (There
was a large scab on her back from this burn when she came to the
Mission.) The scars on my body are proof of my bad treatment. My
forehead is all scars caused by her throwing heavy pieces of wood
at my head. One cut a large gash, and the blood ran out. She
stopped the bleeding and hid me away. She beat my legs one day
until they were all swollen up. I thought I better get away before
she killed me. When she was having her hair washed and dressed I
ran away. I had heard of the Mission, and inquired the way and
came to it. A white man brought me here. I am very happy now."

As a further precaution
against the illegal detention of women and girls in brothels, a
Government notice is posted in each of these houses, to the effect
that the inmates are perfectly at liberty to leave whenever they
like, but this is of little use, as hardly any of them can read,
and it would be more to the purpose if the Government ordered the
removal of the bars from the doors and windows of the brothels.
The fact is that these precautions against illegal detention are
practically useless, and this is admitted even by the editor of
such a paper as the _Hong Kong Daily Press_, who some time ago
discussed the question _apropos_ of the suicide of a Hong Kong
prostitute who was desirous of being married. The man who wished
to marry her offered the pocket-mother a sum of $2,000, but she
demanded $2,300 and refused to part with the woman for less;
whereupon she hung herself. The following comments on this case
are from the _Hong Kong Daily Press_:

Government are absolutely impotent, the notices so much waste

_official_ misleading feature is to be found in other quarters
than Dr. Murray's Reports; for in the _Navy_ Report for 1873

permanently stationed in Hong Kong, says--"Owing to the excellent

the colony are reduced _to a minimum_. The _few cases_ of syphilis
are chiefly due to private prostitutes not known to the police."
In a representation made to the Secretary of State by W.H. Sloggett,
Inspector of Certified Hospitals, October 7, 1879, we get an exact
