Quote by: Halofan48  Look, i didn't "concede" that you'd become a christian. I said it was possible. Also, in some countries, i really don't think you can. In fact, isn't there a country that has people shot on site if preaching or wearing religious symbols that aren't it's religion? I doubt you'll know much about Christianity there PF... |
That's pretty ignorant. People have been Christians and died willing for being so in some of the most repressive regimes in history. Getting shot isn't as deterrent as being hung naked from a cross or being burnt at the stake in the public square or being hung naked from a cross and being burnt on it to light someone's garden, for instance. The fact that the government is so repressive of Christians actually serves to spread the belief amongst those who resent the government's oppression and empathize with the Christians. Read up on some history, Halo.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
