Russia's War Against Evangelicals

The choice of nomenclature was absolutely intentional.

Most “evangelical” types see anyone and everyone else as heretics at best and heathen at worse and cannot be bothered to learn even a smidgen of ecclesiastical history.

They think that “true Christianity” began with their sect’s founder.

When do we get to the babies thrown out of incubators ? And babies on bayonets ?

Good point. Maybe they'll call it the Bucha Baby Massacre. No investigations allowed.

Credited to Emo Phillips:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.”

I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

We didn’t miss your malevolent postings in the slightest.

Interesting response in light of the thread discussing torture and murder of Baptists. I might give it a try myself the next time there’s a thread on, say, a Catholic being disappeared by the CCP. I’ll chime in and say “the damn filthy papists think they have a monopoly on salvation,” or maybe I’ll say “that’s what you get for worshipping a statue LOL losers.”

[lightman]

Remember the Spanish Inquisition?

[dfwgator]

I wasn’t expecting it.

As opposed to being disappeared by Azov because Zelensky says your church must close.

I can’t miss you one way or the other since I don’t even remember you or the people you pinged!

Ukraine ping cowboyusa: 🤣🤣🤣. Repreobate globalits are concerned about Evanglicals.

American Christians are mostly Protestants, and take a strong interest in the welfare of other Protestants around the globe. Christianity is a globalist region - it leaves local deities to the heathen. In a way, Eastern Orthodoxy is a sectarian religion mostly under the sway of Russian empire-builders. The day Ukraine abandons Orthodoxy and becomes a Protestant/Catholic country is the day American Christians embrace it as a full-fledged part of the West.

Your Russian compatriots seem to think they can persecute Protestants without consequence. Mike Johnson's Damascus moment, when the scales fell from his eyes, coincided with a personal meeting with a Ukrainian Protestant dignitary whose family members had been killed by Russian bombs.

You may feel that the US should let Russia conquer Ukraine in the name of Aryan solidarity or something. From the moment the US economy became the world's largest in 1900, that's not the way American lawmakers have responded to attempts by significant European powers to conquer their neighbors, let alone a European power 4x the combined land area of European NATO. At minimum, we have funded the other side, which is what we're doing now.

oh right just double down on being a toxic nutcase.

That seems to be the winning strategy on the once great Free Republic.

No worries!

It's only a matter of time till your vile mouth gets you a time-out, once again.

As freeper Reverend Wright wrote: “but meanwhile, they need to dial the “Russian anti-Protestant Monsters” propaganda level up to 11, to activate the evangelicals for “biblical war”.”

One wonders if this is why you were re-activated after most of a year.

[kiryandil]

That seems to be the winning strategy on the once great Free Republic.

It was great while you were gone since last July, Greta's_Puny_Human.

Greta have you doing Green evangelical work all that time? Gluing yourself to roads, and such?

Except in Israel.

“a time out”

I was never banned or given a timeout. I just woke up one day and thought, “this forum is screwed.”

I’m starting to feel that way again real fast.

[lightman]

Anyone else care to join in on defending the Holy Orthodox Church against all enemies, foreign or domestic?

[dennisw]

The Roosky clowns get drunk on vodka, and they need an outlet for their sadism and murderous impulses. Rooskies are good at pure barbarism, after years of hard vodka permanently effs up their brains.

There's a pony in there, somewhere.

Who... is even attacking the Orthodox church??

Unless your mad over the Archbishop Kirill having a KGB code name, etc. All of that is just true.

What is the matter with you?
