Flyers posted recently in villages around Laos described Christians as dishonest and immoral traitors. The flyer’s writer accused Christians of being political tools who convert others for financial gain. He wrote, “Christianity … has the purpose to brainwash society. It has the purpose to get rid of other religions and other cultures opposing Christianity. Every teaching of Jesus Christ is related to what the Americans teach one another to follow.”
The flyer said Christians “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 … marry within their own families; there is no dowry, and also all Christians are allowed to sleep with one another.”
The writer claimed that Christians receive financial compensation for each convert. He also said that they dishonestly attract others to Christianity by offering them money and clothing.
“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. …”
The flyer ended with these words: “As for me, I am sick of Christians tricking people. … Whoever is reading this, please pass the word to everyone so we can protect the cultural identity of our different tribal groups.”
Please lift up Christians in Laos who face this kind of thinking every day. Pray especially for the Christians in the villages where these flyers were circulated.
