(My1510.cn) The "Bad Things" About Democracy. By Li Yehand. February 18, 2008.

The Reverend Yuan Zhiming once said something like this in a sermon: "Certain practices among the Christian churches in China are actually identical to the practices during the Cultural Revolution. Except for the fact that the former waved the Bible while the latter waved the Little Red Book, everything is the same." Therefore the lack of democracy within a church is not just a problem for the church, but it is an expression of a human problem in other domains. In other words, there is no fundamental difference between people's need for a "Christ" and their need for a "Great Leader." Both seek a powerful figure to adore and hand over their own "democracy" and freedom" along with their own unbearable anxiety altogether."
