A little church in Russia is just about to start services and in storms a platoon of red army soldiers brandishing machine guns. They march up the center isle and stand at the front of the church. The commander says that it is the official policy of the soviet socialist republic that they stamp out Christianity and burn the church to the ground. The soldiers load their weapons and prepare to fire on the crowd. The commander says “ Comrads, we understand that some of you may not be here of your own free will, so we are giving those who want to leave 1 minute to do so. T
here is a shuffling and then a mad dash as people run out the door. When the church is emptied the remaining parishioners are told to remain seated as the doors are locked. The commander says. Comrades, we are also Christians and we have come to worship with you but first we had to get rid of the hypocrites.
