    You mean they have to cancel Bible-hurdling, Bible-throwing, Bible-vaulting, and the Bible-athlon?

    I heard on the news that it's not true.

    They are going to have to refuse all Christian athletes then.
    2Corinthians 3:1-6
    1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
    6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.:applause:

    I think you've made the case for leaving Bibles at home, which I'm sure was not your intent. But China refutes this whole thing anyway, and if true, makes this issue moot.

    This is prime opportunity to innundate China with Bibles. Even if true, take a bunch of Chinese Bibles and hope they confiscate them. If not, all the better.

    China also refutes the reported contaminated food and lead toys. Sense when do we trust their statements?
