Religion and Faith are not things to put on great debates. God gave us human will to choose where to go. Depending on our choice, we face consequences.
In many instances, Christians are faced with trials and difficulties. But I admire Raul, being in a country of different faith and beliefs, he is sticking with the christian faith. I am praying for him, his faith and struggle. God is looking at him, and other people who has the same struggles in their faith.
Romans 15:30 says: "I urge you brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me."
