Korihor didn't believe in Christ. He didn't think anyone else should either, so he went around proselytizing his views until he was arrested, tried, and condemned by God to lose his ability to speak. Why? Because Korihor wanted a sign proving God's existence. Is there no room for proof in the world of faith? Is there really religious freedom if a critic can be silenced by God in court?
