I’d like to think if put to the test I would show my resolve, but realistically in the United States, I don’t have to worry about it. While some sensitive people may feel persecuted, Christianity is culturally (and politically) the dominant religion still, and separation of church and state does not prevent me at all from living according to my conscience.
@ClydeKoolray Oh yes you do. Maybe it hasn't come to your state yet or whatever but it sure has to mind and a church was burned with people in it but praise God nobody got hurt but the building suffered great damage. Every once in a while you hear of a church being burned. And I'm sure there's other threats going on to Christians around the world and even in the United States that some may not be aware of but it's getting worse and it will get even more worse. It is prophesied.

Why didn't god save them ? Another example of it's indifference to human suffering. Used as an example to prove a point ?

I don't need any opinions of God's work. I've experienced Him in my own life and have given testimony to His work in my life. I am one that tells the truth regardless of what your opinions may be.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:18-21

@GodSpeed63 it's impossible to have a conversation when all you have are bible quotes. What all of that shows me is once again you refuse to engage with anyone that questions your opinions. You believe you know but have no way to show me what you say is reality. Your truth is uour own ,it doesn't have to be mine . Your answer is to use passive aggressive bible quots to try to frighten me with hell fire and brimstone .

It's the Word of God and it's the only solid Truth we have in this fallen world.

I have no opinions where my Savior and Lord is concerned.

Nobody owns truth, not even you. The Truth is for everybody.

Really, if others are going to post comments directed at me and mute so as to make the entire comment unavailable for me to see, I can only return to totally blocking some users.
It seems the best option.

No one's "sneaking" Christianity into places anymore.
No one wants to kill you for your faith. Only to explain what you call certainty with some kind of evidence.

The moral of the story being that religious politics never ends well. :)
