How sad that in this, the 21st century, freedom of religion isn't yet a universal concept. Whether or not one agrees with someone else's beliefs, it should have no bearing on acknowledging their rights as human beings to practice those beliefs without persecution. Especially if you are religious already. What would Jesus do? Would he ignore the fact that God's children in Iran are being denied an education, fired from their jobs, jailed, and even killed because of their beliefs? I don't think so. He'd stand up for their rights.
So the question is - what do you stand for? What will you do to bring attention to the plight of your fellow human beings across the world?
