Well we can waste time on awkward wording and misspelled words and other such internet burps.

I’m curious why, on what I thought was a thread on Russia, it is so hostile.

There is evidently a lot more going on with this subject than I was aware of.

I’m being reminded of how in the religion section, the American can often be treated as the foreigner, there is evidently subtext to this that I just didn’t know about.

Russia has existed in a very harsh geo-political environment since its inception and has survived many more centuries than our country, experiencing a much higher level of death, destruction, and suffering. It is a common fallacy to judge the rest of the world by our American experiment. Despite all the Orthodox, Fundamentalists, and Evangelicals, the population and culture of the United States, not to mention Western Europe, is hurtling toward Sodom and Gomorah. Abortion/Infanticide and sexual deviancy is celebrated in our country, albeit opposed by a strong minority, and the leadership of the SBC is offended by the Russian criticism ... well, is it misplaced ?
