Next week is Easter and I got to thinking about the crucifixion. Then I thought about modern day believers and this is some of what I found. It makes me sick to think about those that believed enough to sacrifice (actually murdered by others) themselves for their beliefs. I believe but I think I would fold like a house of cards.~
Rwanda: 800,000 dead. Armenia: 1 million. The Holocaust: More than 6 million.
World history is littered with exhibits of the utter brutality of mankind toward his fellow man.
But now a new project under way to recount a history that has not received the attention it deserves, the militant atheist campaign in the former Soviet Union on people of faith.
The staggering death toll of Christians alone, estimates the documentary, Martyred in the USSR, is 12 million.
One and a half times the population of New York. The equivalent of 20 cities the size of Denver. Six times the number of residents of Paris.
