People who went to Jail (and some EXECUTED!)to defend what they believe include:

John Bunyon (Author of Pilgrim’s Progress)
William Tyndale (Translator of the Bible into English)
Martin Luther King (Civil Rights Activist)
St. Paul of Tarsus (Evangelist and Author of much of the New Testament)
Galileo (Scientist)
Nelson Mandela (Civil Rights Activist)
Joan of Arc (Catholic Saint and Warrior)
The Salem “Witches” (Not “witches” at all, but just normal people)
Jan Hus, William Wycliff (Religious Activists)
Socrates (Educator and Philosopher)
Mary Dyer (Quaker in Boston, executed for being a Quaker in Boston)

and, of course...

Jesus of Nazareth (what can I say?)

Whether you believe in their causes or not, it is an impressive list. Kim Davis is in Good Company.

“John” Wycliff. Not “William” sorry.

Mandela was a communist terrorist. Putting him on a list with Jesus, the apostle Paul and Tyndale is an insult to Jesus and the rest of them.
