Raised a catholic and now an Atheist I see Christianity for what it is, it is clearly a white religion, the image of Jesus is clearly ment to convert whites as well as Asians who see white people as superior, if they used an image of a person of middle eastern decent these people would not be so easily converted. What makes me angry is how sleazy Asian Christians are when it comes to recruiting, they prowl college campuses in search of prey like lions hunting food and are extremely unapologetic about their methods of recruitment their desire to worship a white god is totally clear anyone who would allow themselves to swayed by their autophobic ways is clearly weak . I know this is going to piss off a lot of people. However take a hard look at yourself and your true reasons for converting. This is not geared toward the younger generation, however it is geared towards the older generation; younger Asian Christians didn’t have a choice; they were raised as Christians, nobody is born a Christian it is forced upon you. Younger generations also need to take a look at who you’re praying too.

Thank you Akrypti for this post.

My family are strong Roman Catholics and they even attempted to get me to go to the seminary (priesthood)

The fact that my sister married a Muslim was a major scandal in the family.

Some of the research I’ve done considers the Zen teachings of Jesus and Buddhism in Christianity.

I am spiritual rather than religious and have tended to place myself as “Jedi” when answering religious questions.

Good for your well being and ensure you do not turn it into a crutch.

akrypti, thank you for tackling this touchy and challenging topic. You may be surprised here, but I actually agree with most of your commentary about the colonialism of certain missionaries of the past (and present) and how negatively some self-professed Asian American Christians have impacted others. I do think personal religious convictions should be respected and yet I also think that religion can be and should be a topic to be discussed in the open public square in a civil manner.

While religion ties into passionate zeal for some of a religion’s followers, I believe that many are able to live out their religious faith with cordial respect for those of differing faiths. We live in a pluralistic diverse world, and I believe that one can be a follower of Christ and yet be respectful and caring for those who have a different faith, with no strings attached or covert intent to convert. And in that pluralistic world, I think increasing numbers of people are choosing their own religion rather than inheriting a religion from familial or cultural traditions by default. (Though, granted, a majority of people still learn their religious habits from their family of origin, just as they learn money habits too.)
