Martyrdom.

At this distance of  2000 years ago, we talk airily of martyrdom. But if vou were arrested and taken under guard from your home on a journey of some weeks, to a certain, gruesome, probably prolonged and horrible death, and you could avoid it by doing one really easy thing, it would take your soul to the very limit.

(I speak of ancient times in the bloodthirsty empire of Rome.)

Yet there are women and children  not counting the men who face machetes,deadly fire and sexual torture everyday simply because they sing to an invisible God. A  Christian God not believed in by the hateful perpetrators who through extreme violence murder,maim and rape.  All In the name of their God of 'peace?'

( i speak of Sudan and Nigera today.)
