24. These AFA people are dumb fucks if they think Putin is their ally.

Putin also cracks down on their kind, and they're too stupid to realize it.

The Russian government started cracking down on evangelicals back in the 1990s to discourage what they considered "predatory proselytizing" by the likes of Mormons, the AFA brands of Christianity, etc.

The latter are so obsessed with winning souls for Christianity that they failed to account for Russia's acceptance of Christianity over a thousand years ago by way of the Orthodox branch of the faith. Even if, historically, it's been more of a state entity than a religious entity.

The average Russian may not be crazy about Putin and/or about LGBTs, but they'll be the first to tell the likes of Bryan Fischer to fuck off and leave them alone - they'll say they already are Christian and don't need their "help" or their brand of the faith.

Why can't we send all of those regressives to Russia if they think it is so great? TexasTowelie Feb 2014 #1
