Martyrs teach us many
things, and chief among them is the immense worth of our faith and at the same
time the worthlessness of much that pretends to have value…
We are cajoled into
bowing down every day before the altar of television, in the corridors of the
shopping mall, in the intricacies of our minds, in the thousand little
decisions we make hourly. And it is our
noble privilege to join the ranks of the martyrs and resolutely declare,
"We will not serve your gods and we will not worship the statue you have
set up" -- no matter what the cost.
