Persecution? The man STOLE the woman's prescription. He refused to dispense a legally prescribed medication, and for absolutely NO valid reason refused to return the prescription to the woman. He violated HER religious beliefs, HER Constitutional rights. He violated her legitimate medical treatment. If he doesn't want to do the job he's paid to do, he needs to find employment somewhere his conscience / Neanderthal ego won't be bruised. How dare he presume the right to dictate her compliance with HIS warped beliefs!

We are just now getting small tastes of the coming of persecution for our faith.
This is not just an isolated incident, but there are many examples where people standing firm in their faith will be prosecuted and fined or lose licenses.
I recently heard about a Christian whose social work license was revoked because he preached against homosexuality.
We should defend ourselves, but expect to lose as the secular humanist religion becomes the faith of this nation.
Our only hope is in Christ and Him crucified.
We await your second coming!
