So - who is making the greater sacrifice for Christ? Who is the most Christ-like - the two women who choose to stupidly place their lives on the line for Him, or you, who selfishly decides to preserve your life even if it was His will that you die in a stupid and pointless manner?

Hey, that's a good way of looking at it. My friend is actually a pretty openminded Christian-- she's admitted the possibility that it could all be false in conversation with me-- so perhaps she'll realize there are better ways to help people than distributing bibles.
Thanks for the thought!
