In the U.S., someone who converts to Christianity might be seen as extremely religious or weak for needing religion. In Laos, people have many misconceptions about Christianity and what it means to be a Christian. Here is a sample of what some Laotians think about Christianity, taken from a flyer posted in several villages recently. What is Christianity? Please read below and it will be explained.
Christianity is a political tool belonging to the Americans that has the purpose to brainwash society. It has the purpose to get rid of other religions and other cultures opposing of Christianity. Every teaching of Jesus Christ is related to what the Americans teach one another to follow. Also, the religion of Jesus makes a person lose his or her self-identity. It is a political tool. The Christians look only for advantage and gain. They also are dependent on the Americans for support all the time.
The Christians are always making a plan of how to increase its numbers so that can report to the main leader. They also get a percentage of who they can lead to Christ. Whoever they led to Christ is being tricked and used by them.
The people who become Christians then are lost in the teachings of Jesus and have to “drink a water of promise.” They also have to drink each other’s blood to stand firm in Christ. They have to also throw away the culture they grew up with and throw away their tribe which they have been in their whole life. This is why the culture of Christianity is not good at all. Other Christians also marry within their own families, there is no dowry, and also all Christians are allowed to sleep with one another.
The people who have faith in Christ treat their faith as more important than their daily jobs, their future, and the future of their family members. People belonging to the Christian group are very stubborn people. They are enemies of people who want to live peacefully and enemies of the law of the nation.
If this were posted in your town, would you be ready to call yourself a Christian?
 
Yes, I would.

I do understand that people from Laos might have seen how many Christians in the western world acts like. So many Beleivers have become a lot more Liberal in their own thinkings and mixturing their faith together with unbeleivers in society today, justifying a lot of sinful living as being approved by God, and that they can remain living this way.

Yet, they might have also noticed that not everyone in the western world are true Christians. As many might be written as members in the church, they might be baptized there as babies, but still they have no faith in God. And the way they live and talk if other Religion based people look at them as being their Christian examples, they will not find what they are looking for or hoping in Christianity.

Still, how they have written these posters; When it is about Real Dedicated Christians, then these things written are all lies told. Because a True Dedicated Christian wishes to represent themselves as a good example in Christ, and doing what is right according to God. Christians are not sinless, yet they are rependant before God, knowing that without Jesus Christ, they are nothing, and they have nothing.

I am not saying that seeing such posters wouldn't make it a lot more difficult to continue living as a Christian, I am sure most of us that takes our faith in God serious would have looked at this as a really great test to whether we love Jesus as much as that we might get persecuted and killed for it, and if we are willing to still standing with Him even though everything might seem like a stormy and roaring ocean around us. Still; As long as if we do take all our faith in Jesus as being very serious and dear to us, then I beleive that we do will remain having a peace of mind in our hearts and joy to making it through any trial, and most of all to not be afraid of saying; That Jesus Is Lord! :)
 
We are all familiar with the term "RINO". Maybe it's time we started using the designation "CINO".

We are blessed in this country (so far) to be able to worship as we please. We tend to forget the persecution that many Christians experience around the world. But, stay strong. I've read the end of the book. We win!
