In the US, Christians toy with what to us is a hypothetical question: “What would you do if someone said demanded of you, ‘Renounce Jesus Christ or die.’?”. We consider it briefly, sincerely hope that we would not cave in to such a demand, and then dismiss it because it has never happened here, at least not in an institutional way (and may never).

For this man in Afghanistan, the question is anything but hypothetical. This is evidence of serious spritual warfare, folks.
