LOL you are a piece of work. What about the libertarian, CT and homosexual lobby fanatics who post here? Mr. Libertarian you can't silence one philosophical voice or view, let all others opine and expect to be called libertarian.
Mr. Constitution I and every person of faith or religion has a First Amendment Right to freely exercise our religion AND as with all Americans the freedom of speech. Now if Goldi wants to limit those rights on her forum fine, but call it "Limited Libertypost" to accurately portray the site.
For someone who opines daily on the rights of individuals yet wants a particular philosophical thought suppressed is complete hypocrisy.
Please examine yourself.
Redleghunter is apparently one of those "religious fanatics" tpaine referred to. Tpaine -- a HUGE so-called "constitutionalist" and crusader for libertarianism -- was emboldened and still intoxicated and inspired by Goldi-Lox's "fanatic jesus"/you make me VOMIT!" comment.
Will Mr. Constitution "comprende" Hunting Season when its declared on hypocritical Libertarians? Chyeah, Paine -- We ALL saw what happened when one Closet Christian-Hater got called out on his fake "libertarian" and select memory of the US Constitution.
(Tpaine):"We've all seen what happened at FR when religious fanaticism took too much control. Goldie doesn't want it to happen here. Comprende?"
Poster Comment:
Tpaine -- yet another closeted out-of-the-woodwork Stalinist libertarian/Militant Atheist and anti-Christian -- was exposed and called out for his utter and complete blatant hypocrisy. Courtesy, redleghunter..

Soviet? Seriously? : )
Though I'm loooong over the issue at hand, JESUS people/fanatics" were ordered to cram His mention. NOT "lighten up." That subject thread as so often is the case these days involved crossover issues of both religion AND politics. It wasn't strictly a "Jesus-fanatic" thread. As for your part, I stand by my words and claim, paine. You sounded more Stalinist than Constitutional: "We've all seen what happened at FR when religious fanaticism took too much control. Goldie doesn't want it to happen here. Comprende?" Uh, no comprendo, Senor Constitution.
Can't we Jesus-fanatics have any fun and engage in the slightest hyperbole? Homophobe. 8-P
She didn't limit any rights. She asked the religious fundamentalists to lighten up, and by and large they did. Anybody can read that thread, and it proves you're still hyping the issue. As I said, anybody can read it, and see that you've mischaracterized it. "We've all seen what happened at FR when religious fanaticism took too much control. Goldie doesn't want it to happen here. Comprende?" I stand by my comment. Your Stalinist remark is sheer bull, and it makes you sound like a fool.
"Freedom from religion" is a Soviet concept, not an American one. We have freedom OF religion here. For a site to advertise itself as not censoring people for their beliefs, but then to censor people due to their religious beliefs or in some cases even political beliefs (she also regularly purged Libertarian posts during election seasons -- note: I'm not a Libertarian, I just recognize that when the censorship of them started that someday it would happen to me too, and indeed it did.) Off topic vulgarity and insults were tolerated and even encouraged, but people simply posting their religious views on a topic of the day were told to keep it hidden from view. The Soviets did the same thing, they would proclaim that the Soviet Union had "freedom of and FROM religion", in practice that meant that if anyone saw you openly practicing or proclaiming Jesus Christ, that you would be punished for it. The Soviets started out proclaiming that they were just "protecting" the average citizen from the "offensive" counter-revolutionary speech of Christians as well, but once they had consolidated their power then scenes like this one from the video occurred: That Russian Orthodox Bishop was placed on trial and executed because he had committed the "crime" of selling all of his possessions and giving the money to the poor -- the Commies declared that he had committed "treason" because "poverty does not exist in the Soviet Union". Ordinary people who went to Church would be tracked by the NKVD and later the KGB and punished for openly displaying their belief in Jesus Christ, because much like the God-Haters at LP, they were offended if they had to see someone openly being a Christian or talking about it. Christians in the Soviet Union were told that they had "freedom of religion", they just had to keep it completely hidden or be punished because if a God- hater saw it they would be offended by it. The Soviets saw restrictions on the public practice of Christianity as completely reasonable, much like the God-hater contingent at LP felt about posting Christian viewpoints on the forums there.
Anybody can read that thread, and it proves you're still hyping the issue. No, I'm not; In fact I'm not the one who dragged this three month-old thread out of mothballs. And let's not belabor the truth of the matter, ok? The record is indeed there for all to see. And so are your own words. I stand by my comment. Your Stalinist remark is sheer bull, and it makes you sound like a fool. You're entitled to your opinion, but not the facts.
+1 Christians in the Soviet Union were told that they had "freedom of religion", they just had to keep it completely hidden or be punished because if a God- hater saw it they would be offended by it. The Soviets saw restrictions on the public practice of Christianity as completely reasonable, much like the God-hater contingent at LP felt about posting Christian viewpoints on the forums there. Your historical and recent observations cannot be refuted. Unless certain libertrian-types who talk the talk but don't walk the walk find history erroneous.
Yeah, those that style themselves as "libertarian" but support censorship of religion are especially hypocritical. The atheists continually bleat that they fear a "theocracy" if American Christians are allowed to participate in the public square, but history shows us that there was never any regime more completely evil and oppressive than the one that occurred when the atheists seized power.
Thank you. EXACTLY my point. The atheists continually bleat that they fear a "theocracy" if American Christians are allowed to participate in the public square, but history shows us that there was never any regime more completely evil and oppressive than the one that occurred when the atheists seized power. So well articulated a "true-dat," that it still blows my mind that the same atheists ignore history, yet perpetuate this so-called "theocracy" myth. That it is ever taken seriously by any "intellectual honest/critical thinkers" is beyond me.
They had their own little "Praise the Lord" echo chamber going where nary a contrary word was heard,and they liked it that way. Now they are going to start playing "The Persecuted Victim" again.

Only because it is. It's called having a "choice". Nobody is forcing you to NOT be religious,but you clearly want to force your religious viewpoints on everyone else.

Your whole post is a crock of crap,although I don't have the slightest doubt you believe it because it is what you have been told since you were a child. Nobody was punished for going to church. In FACT,the priesthood was a KGB career field. After all,who better to keep a eye on the people than the man that hears their confessions? Stalin understood this well because he went to school to become a priest. The fact that it is rare to find a Russian that doesn't claim to be of the Russian Orthodox faith today is proof that religion wasn't suppressed on the level you claim. The communists treated religion like they did everything else. They were for it as long as they controlled it,and opposed to it if they thought some foreigners were controlling it. Their whole focus was on controlling power over everyone and everything. I first went to Russia as a tourist the year the Soviet Union collapsed,and I grew up believing the same crap you do. I was very surprised to see all the old churches being restored and at never personally meeting a Russian that didn't claim to believe in God. I'm sure they exist,I just didn't meet any.

Only because it is. ---- sneakypete These clowns refuse to admit that: -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", --- refers to freedom from STATE religion.
Define what you mean by "public square."

Yeah, the Soviets believed that you had a "choice" as well. They were really offended by people forcing their religious beliefs one everyone else. I mean, look at those insensitive prisoners toward the end of the video, most of them are reciting the Lord's Prayer in public, where everyone is forced to hear it! Obviously the ethical atheist jackboots felt that this violation of their freedom from religion must be dealt with!
I wish someone would bitch-slap Congress and remind them that applies to Muslims,too. Even Muslims with money. Maybe even ESPECIALLY Muslims with money.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
It says congress shall make..... It doesn't say the governors shall make no ..... So it couldn't be freedom from state religion. Maybe Federal religion. So if the state constitution didn't prohibit why couldn't you have a state religion? I'm not saying we should or shouldn't. I'm just saying words have meanings.
I don't know who you think claimed that to be true,but it sure wasn't ME. The only Christian religion that was state-approved in the Soviet Union was the Russian Orthodox Church. Of course there were also Jews and Muslims in the USSR,but I have no idea how the various sects were treated,or if one sect from each was given preference. They were really offended by people forcing their religious beliefs one everyone else. I mean, look at those insensitive prisoners toward the end of the video, most of them are reciting the Lord's Prayer in public, where everyone is forced to hear it! You are using a freaking MOVIE as "proof"? Tell me,do you think farm animals carry on conversations,and that rabbits are smarter than hunters? Obviously the ethical atheist jackboots felt that this violation of their freedom from religion must be dealt with! When have you ever seen ME describe atheists as "ethical"? Like Christians,some are,and some aren't.

I was very surprised to see all the old churches being restored and at never personally meeting a Russian that didn't claim to believe in God. I'm sure they exist,I just didn't meet any. The documentation for people being punished for going to Church is enormous. One Russian Orthodox priest was literally CRUCIFIED on the doors to his Church by the Atheist Soviets. Literally millions of Christians were killed because of their public confession of Jesus Christ. And yes, the majority of Russians were and are Christian. They were being persecuted by an Atheist minority. That's what happens when you let people with an Atheist world-view seize power, they have no moral code. And you confess that you saw Churches being RESTORED. Who was it that had torn them down in the first place? And of course today most Russians are indeed openly Christian. They KNOW that only God could have overthrown the most evil empire in the history of mankind.
And we all know documents don't lie,right? One Russian Orthodox priest was literally CRUCIFIED on the doors to his Church by the Atheist Soviets. I have never tried to deny that some priests weren't murdered by the Soviets,and their churches weren't shut down. Stalin had this done to some of the priests that wouldn't play the role of informer on their congregation. Others were sent off to the labor camps and worked/starved to death. The ones that did play along kept their churches and were kept fat and happy. Or maybe you think that Stalin didn't know about the Patriarch in Moscow? And you confess that you saw Churches being RESTORED. Who was it that had torn them down in the first place? "CONFESS"? What religious crime am I being suspected of being guilty? SOME churches doesn't equal ALL churches,which was your original claim. They KNOW that only God could have overthrown the most evil empire in the history of mankind. Uh,huh. Odd how they/you never seem to question how a all-powerful and all-seeing God let the evil empire come into existence to start with,isn't it? Maybe you think Stalin had him fooled because he went to Divinity School?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", --- refers to freedom from STATE religion. There were some states that still had established state sponsored religions, but they gradually faded away. By the time Utah tried to enter the union, they were rejected because of their state religion. Indeed they do, and the no establishment of religion clause was generally accepted to apply to the States before the civil war. You'd think by now we wouldn't have to argue about it anymore....
"And we all know documents don't lie,right? " One of the videos I posted had literal historical footage of Russian Orthodox Christian Churches being destroyed by atheist Soviet thugs. I guess our own eyes are lying to us as well. The Soviets used the same debate strategy, a Potempkin village would be set up to convince gullible socialist fellow travelers from the West that the USSR was a worker's paradise. "I have never tried to deny that some priests weren't murdered by the Soviets,and their churches weren't shut down. Stalin had this done to some of the priests that wouldn't play the role of informer on their congregation. Others were sent off to the labor camps and worked/starved to death. The ones that did play along kept their churches and were kept fat and happy." The so-called "Living Church" was a very short-lived and failed attempt to take control over the Russian Orthodox Church by the Soviets. Hardly anyone went to it because they could tell it was a fake, non-Christian Church. They knew that the real Church was the real thing because so many martyrs endured gruesome torture and death and never renounced Jesus Christ. "Or maybe you think that Stalin didn't know about the Patriarch in Moscow?" Many Russian Orthodox Patriarchs and Bishops died as martyrs. St. Tykhon, pray for us! ""CONFESS"? What religious crime am I being suspected of being guilty? SOME churches doesn't equal ALL churches,which was your original claim. " You tried to claim that the atheist Soviets did not destroy Churches, but in the very same post remarked that when you visited Russia when the USSR fell, that you saw Churches being RESTORED. LOL, they would not have had to re-build Churches if they had not been demolished by the atheists in the first place. And I never claimed that ALL Churches had been destroyed, Stalin liked to do things in an unpredictable fashion, he found that it created far more terror that way. His officials would actually occasionally have a loyal Communist killed along with the Christians -- people would be terrified that if even an apparently obedient lackey would die for some slight perceived wrong, that they could be killed at any moment. "Uh,huh. Odd how they/you never seem to question how a all-powerful and all- seeing God let the evil empire come into existence to start with,isn't it? Maybe you think Stalin had him fooled because he went to Divinity School?" Stalin renounced Jesus Christ and became an atheist, that's what took him down the road to being such an evil monster. And many Russian Orthodox Saints prophesied of the coming persecution years before the atheists seized power in Russia. God allowed for evil people to prevail for a short time, he gives us free will. But ultimately He delivered the Russian people from their godless tyranny.
LOL TC never knew you were an old thread kindler:)
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”(Isaiah 40:8)
Good to "see" ya.
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”(Isaiah 40:8)
So Soviets were demolishing the church buildings because the priests there did not want to be informers? How did you learn about history of the Russian Church? From TV? From a tourist trip? Or from atheist friends from Russia? From a neocon "history" book? Or from all the above?
The left can't be constrained by actual language or original intent. They have a "living Constitution" that means whatever they want it to.
True enough. Look how popular I've made these two threads about me and tpaine. I knew of them before but tried always to stay out of the cross-forum flame wars. So I just never posted on it before.
There were a couple of other words he used to use incessantly.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Must be trying to manipulate Stone and Devil into seeing their point of view good luck with that. {chuckle} From the looks of it S&D seem to be ignoring them.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
You always was a popular guy you just never knew it, you can always tell how much you're liked by how much they ridicule you. :)
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
That seems to be a common occurrence no matter where you go, people claim they want to have free speech for everybody even when then don't really want to hear you point of view.

Uh-huh. So that's what Goldi was trying to do. So just how many news threads completely unrelated to religion should Goldi have allowed to be hijacked into theology before she wouldn't get accused of conducting her own Katyn massacre of helpless LP users living under her jackbooted Soviet regime? She's dead now. And no one got sent to a gulag. Some petty people did storm out acting like Goldi had tried to nail them to a cross and posted a lot of hurtful drivel about her, mostly here on LF. And I think you all are ashamed now (or should be) for how unkind you were to a sick woman who occasionally had a little outburst on some minor issue on a forum she spent a lot of money to run so people could post freely. Don't let your guilty conscience deceive you. Some of you mistreated Goldi at least as much as you claim she mistreated you. Don't expect anyone to seriously debate your nonsensical idea of LP as a Soviet gulag. It's ridiculous. What's next, doubling down to compare Goldi to the commandant of Auschwitz? My opinion is some of this LP dreck should be cleaned up and this forum should make a new start. Same applies for some of the attack threads on 4um. Or personal attack threads on me or tpaine. For that matter, using the articles sidebar as a text message service makes LF look a little unhinged. And those Boris threads that are a single-post quote from FR or LP? Good grief, do I even need to say it? How valuable is that stuff to keep around and how much does it make LF look like a nest of kooks to people who might wander in here and be interested in joining? Our sidebar and headlines are very important to LF's reputation and ability to attract and keep new users. It's that simple.
And, just to hammer my point home, let's look at a DDG search for tpaine and LF. DDG: tpaine libertysflame You guys think anyone wants to sign up for a forum where it is clear that your online identity can be attacked at length and have the record of that attack persist for years or decades due to these search engines being allowed (by Stone) to run wild here? It was one thing to have attack threads over at LP or at 4um but at least both were dark-web. LF doesn't just have its legs spread, it's a DVDA extravaganza for any search engine to index.
More nonsense. ONE large RO church in Moscow was demolished. That's it. And rebuilding it became one of the first things life-long commie Yeltsin ordered after the Soviet Union collapsed. BTW,they did a beautiful job of recreating it,too. How did you learn about history of the Russian Church? Not from a RO cult leader,like you did,comrade.

From the Thumpers POV,ALL of them. These people,much like the Muslims,are on a Religious Crusade,and anybody and anything that gets in their way is to be considered a speed bump that needs to get smoothed out. It ain't about fair,it's about dominating by force because they can never hope to dominate using reason.

Sometimes you just have to wonder if it is all a massive "False Flag" operation with cynical non-believers pulling the strings behind the scenes,don't you? Who else really has to gain from religious non-globalists and non-religious globalists fighting each other instead of joining forces to the benefit of both as well as the country?

LOL. I'll just keep telling myself how popular I am. Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and, doggone it, people like me.
Goldi was not a Soviet commissar and these complainers are not exactly martyrs on the march for the Church Militant and Triumphant. These are just chat sites. Expecting people to post on-topic on news threads and to post their theological debates on Religion category threads is not jackbootery run amok.
I see that the usual clique of Athiests have found their way here. Christ is still Lord and while non - believers can't stand too see His name, facts don't change. He is still in charge and will remain so for all eternity.
