Don't Christians think its strange that God choose not to spread his word to the entire human population?

does this suggest that Christianity is actually a man made invention and thus only exists in region it was invented?

Also, if a Christian has a Chinese friend, isn't it his duty to this person to do absolutely everything he can, including physical abuse and torture to convince the Chinese guy to save his soul and believe in Jesus?

While I agree with the first two sentences, why only target Christians? Aren't all religions, at least ones that have exposure outside their religion, guilty of the same thing. I notice that many secular people who promote cultural relativism and open-mindedness have an extreme, almost illogical hatred for Christians. How hypocritical, as if their beliefs only apply to certain groups of people.

As for the last sentence, are you serious? As a former Christian (currentely agnostic), I don't know of a single passage in the bible that advocates that, and even if there is one, I can tell you that I have not met a single Christian personally that believed in torturing in order to convert someone. If this happened on a regular basis, hell, if it happened at all, the media would have a field day.

This may have happened in the past, but a lot of religions have been guilty of attrocious things in history. This is why I am dumbfounded as to why Christians are the only group considered PC to target. For example, Ghegis Khan converted to Buddhism, the Muslim religion spread throughout the Middle East by the sword, the Samurai killed for the Emporor (their God, and lets not forget Nanking), many tribes of various beliefs practice tribalism (which is a PC way of saying racism) and outside of religion, Mao and Stalin were atheists! .(significant considering atheism has only started becoming widespread in the last 150 years). I could go on and on, but research some history and you would find that mankind is surprisingly similar, and few groups were immune from evil.

Does this mean that all these groups of people are evil? Hell no! It just proves that their are manipulative crazies in every group of people. To look at crazy Christians and say the entire group is hateful is stereotypical and completely illogical. Perhaps you guys have watched too much Colbert and Family Guy.

My fondest girlfriends have been Asian. To contaminate their happy, sweet, innocent outlook on life with hateful, Christian concepts is a sin against the elegance of humanity.

Sure, looking at history, there are obviously many Christians that didn't follow their own teachings. But cmon, hateful concepts? Love your neighbor, do unto others, give to the poor, do not kill, yeah, very hateful. Also, isn't condemning an entire group of people, well, hateful?
