I am a Christian - but I do support the advice you give

I'm a Christian and could not follow the advice you have given because I believe it would be like renouncing Christ, which is a sin. So, I would be killed. Many Christians are dying right now because of their faith. I'd be just one more.

However, for those who don't share my faith I am glad you have provided an example of what they can do to spare their lives. Thank you for doing this. If I weren't a Christian and were in the ME, I would print out what you have written and memorize it.
