Isn't being for freedom of religion and being for the removal of the christian church doublethink?
I've started reading 1984 and there's a thought process called doublethink, it involves outwardly believing in a moral code while inwardly believing something totally contradictory to it.
That being said I think freedom of religion is pretty much bullshit since it creates what could be described as a paradox if people are free to practise a religion that prohibits leaving that religion (apostasy) and therefore prevents freedom of religion.
Additionally I don't think the Chinese government is removing the Christian church, they're removing some crosses and putting restrictions on churches because they see them as competing against state power. It's basically like one mafia family clamping down on another mafia family.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
