Vinnie part 3

As I was wrapping up my conversation with Vinnie the other day, he told me a story I cannot get out of my head. 

Vinnie told me that in his village in Vietnam, the leader of his village would call everyone out of their homes and ask them one question, “are you a Christian?”  If they say “no” they have to walk on a cross that had been buried in the ground. The purpose of it is to publicly denounce God.   If they say “yes”, they are beheaded right there in front of everyone in the village. Wow!

If I were faced with this situation what would I do? Would I tell them the truth? It would be very easy to lie and say no.  This is where the rubber hits the road. Tell a lie and live or tell the truth and die.   

What would I do? What would you do and why?
