I must say that I feel very lucky to live in such transforming times.

In that analogy the defendant, thee believer should have the right to be presumed as "innocent unless proven".

The Story of Marjoe

I have found the full length version of this movie online. It tells the story of the youngest in history American evangelist. He was 4 when he started to preach sermons and assist at marriage celebrations.
