Question: What is the promise of this prayer?

God’s answer:

Hostile environment
You are out.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; he runs away because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep.

(John 10:11-15)

I won’t desert you.

Question: How will you get them out?

God’s answer:

by any means possible

FREEDOM OF RELIGION

“ Freedom of religion or freedom of belief is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. It also includes the freedom to change one's religion or belief.”

Freedom of religion is considered by many people and nations to be a fundamental human right.[ In a country with a state religion, freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other sects besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths.”²⁵

Question: Based on what you said, I gather that you agree with religious freedom?

God’s answer:

I agree. It is a basic human right.

Question: Why, considering that Christianity is a must to be saved?

God’s answer:

Equal Rights
What is good for the goose is good for the gander. The same principle applies.

Right approach
Conversion not coercion
