but I find it hard to mourn and to pray for the earthquake ravished China. With the tyranny that this country perpetrates on Christians, and families (1 child per family rule and forced abortions), I find it hard to sympathize with them. Godless communists getting their comeuppance?
Burma is where I can legitimately mourn and offer prayers.

America's Sin's are no worse than China's would you desire other Christians around the globe to have the same attitude towards you and your family if the disaster fell upon your community?
And let's not just look at the country, let's also look at it as praying for the individuals, are their sin's worse before God than your own? Or my own? No, all sin, no matter who commits them, has a payment that God has determined to be worthy of death. It is God who is the judge..not us, and for us to say "these people God created are worthy of our prayers, yet these whom God also created are not." Is very prideful don't you think?
As we do not know who, no matter where they live that God has determined who are his and who are not..we need to pray for all..There are some Christian's who DO live in China..
And are you not aware there are people here on this forum who live in China? Are you not going to pray for our brothers and sisters and their friends and families?? Or are they not worthy of your prayers merely because of where they live at in this world?
