Fr Jeremy Davies, chief exorcist of the Roman Catholic diocese of Westminster writes: “... – an evil spirit tries to make his entry as unobtrusively as possible.”

Hmm. What do you call smuggling copies of Bible into a country illegally?

Gary O, Nottingham, Uk

Are they also going to export televangelist donation phone-lines and their concomitant big toupees? Big money to be made out of the religion business in a population of 1.3 billion.

Liam, Stoke, UK

If anything turns my stomach it's the sight of young, self-righteours, holier-than-thou, self-important and usually American so-called missionaries, swarming out to tell the world all about their silly religious mania. Ugh!

alan, germany,

Blargh, so smuggling is fine then according to this journalist. If they really care about spreading Christianity in China, there is a way of doing that without breaking the law. How about donating money to buy the bibles sold in China?

Andy, Guangzhou, China

i expect the poor Cinese are puzzled by all the big hats in the Old Testament little of which has anything to do with Christianity

peter c, devizes, wessex

Whatever the official line from the chinese government we keep hearing of religious oppression. If they really have produced 50 million bibles why on earth should they object to a few more? Perhaps the situation is a little different from the official view.

Bill, Yeovil, UK

This year the Amity Printing Company of Nanjing, China announced the printing of their 50 millionth Bible in China (in Chinese). So 315 more would hardly make a difference. As for the content I have even seen 'amplified' bibles in the west. What, God didn't have enough to say in the first place?

It is strange that these so called "missionaries" are looked on as doing the right thing, or preaching the word. I wonder if all the people throughout history who have been killed for not submitting to the "word of God" would feel the same way.

Tristan C, Melbourne, Australia

When in Rome. I mean some of the UK laws don't make sense to me either, but rules are rules and sometimes being American doesn't always cut it.

James Lee, Hull, England

Keep Politics and Religion out of Sport (especially the Olympics).

Rodger, Beijing,

If a Chinese wants to be converted, or read Bibile, he or she can go directly to the church and get one. What those men did above is not allowed as it is publicly put one religion above others. Free thinking? I have one Bibile, but I do NOT want to be a Christan.

may bee, Beijing, China

After looking at what religion has done for the rest of the world the Chinese government is probably doing its people a huge favour. Me thinks religion might be the deceptive anti-christ that the bible warns us of.

Udo, Melbourne, Australia

I admire the men who say they have brought the word of God to China for the past 20 years and my prayers are with you. God will find a way to distribute the Bibles to whoever he wants to get them.

Good on ya - keep going !!!!!!!!!!! "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war......" and all that !!!!!!

ian payne, walsall,

Delivering bibles sounds like 19th Century missionary work. Harmless enough now but very destructive 200 years ago. Bibles, opium and flue epidemics always went together and were ways of polishing off the locals in order to steal their property. As long as you were baptised you went to heaven etc!

Colin, Carmarthen, United Kingdom

So Riley,Kiev,Ukraine-China is evil for not allowing "independent thinking"?Exactly how is a bible "independent thinking"?Furthermore why complain with only "evil China"?? Why don't you start preaching your "higher morals" to Saudi Arabia?Oh thats rights its a client state thats "on your side"

Brundi, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

To Andrew and Phil. you are missing the point. It just goes to show that the Chinese can't bear the thought of people thinking for themselves. Stopping bibles coming in - How pathetic - but that's China for you. Pathetic dictators, pathetic sheep following them.

Riley, Kiev, Ukraine

If you come to my country and distribute any kind of reading literature to the public, you'd better get a permit from the Home Office. The Chinese authorities have every right to confiscate all 300 copies of the Bible without returning them to the owner. Sit in? Just bundle them into the plane.

S K Chan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Most other people bring empty suitcases so they can take home all the Chinese Gifts from the Silk Market, etc. Guess this is a new method... well spotted by the Chinese Customs Officers. Next time they should bring Tolkien, might be a better "read".

Rodger, Beijing,

Lucky these Christians aren't demonstrating at Tel Aviv airport - they would be beaten to a pulp.

Phil Ishmael, Liverpool,

I'd like to see them try distributing bibles in Saudi Arabia or Iran. See if the authorities will even tolerate them participating in a sit-in.
