Some things are just wrong
And I agree with Dave B that this is one of them. I have heard of incidents of violence by ultra-Orthodox against leftists and secularists in Russia and a Bulgarian Orthodox priest made the news recently by encouraging people to throw rocks at gays marching in Sophia. Seriously, this sort of crap is not Orthodox. It is not even Christian.
I believe there was something in the Gospel about throwing the first stone...Lord have mercy on us all.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the real world. You never really bought into that 'turn the other cheek' crap, did you?
ReplyDeleteHate-filled words turn into hate-filled actions. God forgive us...
ReplyDeleteI disagree. The Ukrainians are entitled to defend themselves against the corrosive heresy of protestantism.
