The Ransom for my head: $250.00

Well, that's what it would be if I were a Pastor in Orissa, India, where India's Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs in Orissa since late August.

Todd over at MMI linked to THIS World Net Daily news article siting the religious persecution of Hindu extremists who are "offering money, food and alcohol to anyone who murders Christians and destroys their homes."

Here's a little snippet form the article:

"Another Christian woman named Jaspina was told by neighbors, 'If you go on being Christian, we will burn your house and your children in front of you.' She and her family were forced to eat cow excrement to "purify" themselves of Christianity."

"Other Christians were doused with gasoline and told to participate in conversion ceremonies or be lit on fire."


This Thanksgiving you can bet I'll be thankful to be a Christian and a pastor here in the wonderful United States of America.
