I can see this turning into a really bad sequel to The Terminal.

I agree Jude. Did they really think the country was going to change its laws for them?

It's actually quite disrespectful, really. I understand that they feel they have a mission, but to have made such a big fuss out of their contraband being confiscated is just

It is a bit silly to think a country like China would change it's laws for you, but I hope we can all agree it's a shame these laws exist.

I can understand taking the 300. Those were obviousily meatn for distribution. The 15 that were in the individual's suitcases should be returned.

I agree Jude. I wonder what do people think at times. It could have lead to a dance off.

I agree. That was incredibly rude.

I agree it was very disrespectful on the individuals part. This attitude of American entitlement and exception to the rules has got to stop. Hey, at least the Chinese are willing to give the Bibles back. This may cause a bit of commotion, but in a way I agree with the Chinese government ban on religion. I do appreciate the fact I live in the USA with freedom of (and just as important FROM) religion, but think of how much time our federal government wastes on debating laws about abortion, gay marriage, religious education vs. public education standards, and evolution vs. creationism/ID... Not only Christians debating with agnostics and atheists, but the arguments between different sects of Christianity (Evangelicals, Baptists, Catholics, etc.). I'm not implying that the Chinese have it 'right' by any means, but a lot of these issues would be easier to solve if they were viewed from a basic human rights standpoint rather than a religious perspective. And if that's how they want to run their country, so be it. If people are really opposed to it, I'm sure they could find some way to leave the country... And the state sponsored churches isn't a bad idea either, no arguments about, "My Bible/Koran/other religious text is better than your Bible/Koran/other religious text." I'm just sayin...
