But only if you follow the right Jesus. Following the wrong Jesus will get you thrown out of your home:
About 150 evangelicals – 40 families – will be expelled from their homes in San Nicolas, Hidalgo state, at the end of October, according to a town council vote on Saturday, October 1.
…
“Of the population of 8,000 inhabitants, 70 percent consider themselves Catholics and have decided to end the evangelical religion.” A local Catholic priest has tried to persuade the town to practice religious freedom, once announcing through a loudspeaker, “We are all children of God,” but townspeople cut off the amplification as he spoke, according to the report.
Catholic town leader Noe Gerardo threatened reporters who were present that they would be burned and no longer allowed into San Nicolas if they repeated the priest’s message.
Don’t you just feel Christ’s love? Hat tip to Reason Online.
Ah, there's nothing like expulsion and threats of violence to make you feel at peace with the cosmos.
