How does one die for one's religion outside of the Middle East?
I lost two friends to suicide because they could never measure up to what their religion told them they should be. One was a christian fundamentalist who was only 22 years old. The other was a more mainline evangelical who was 19. I have to laugh to keep from getting upset. This thread is actually an effort to vent my dire concerns.
