I agree, and they even punish by death based on religion. Youcef Nadarkhani is scheduled to be executed at any time (probably tomorrow) for his beliefs in Christ and for trying to spread that word. Is that really necessary? Is this truly the work of what they consider "the religion of peace"...
Sorry. Not actually a vision of God but a voice of God. At least that's what I think he said. I never thought to ask him that question. Good idea :D. I'll ask him next time I see him. I'd be interested to know myself. I do know that my wife didn't see God. She just heard a voice in her...

Colossians 3:1 "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God."
