A man in Karachi is erecting a 140' cross. Given the well documented and frequent abuse of Christians in Pakistan I don't see this ending well.
Perhaps the most bizarre part of this story is the supposed reason he gives for building it.
Seems to me there would be a more efficient way for an all-powerful God to protect Pakistani Christians. I'm also having difficulty finding a reason that this would protect Christians rather than raise the ire of those that are already intent on doing them harm.

Quote:In 2013, more than 100 people were killed in a suicide bombing at a church in Peshawar. In November, a mob burned alive a Christian couple in a brick oven after the two were wrongly accused of burning a Koran. In March, suicide bombers killed some 15 people at two church services in Lahore. Last month, also in Lahore, a 14-year-old Christian boy was attacked and set on fire, according to local media reports.

Quote:Pakistani businessman Parvez Henry Gill says he was sleeping when God crashed into one of his dreams and gave him a job: find a way to protect Christians in Pakistan from violence and abuse. “I want you to do something different,” God told him.
