Hillary has already called Christians “deplorable” and “irredeemable,”so the warning that persecution is coming is there.

Just ask a liberal if they believe in evolution. When they say yes, then point out that the only people who survived to reproduce in the Soviet Union and Communist China are the killers and those who supported them - by definition.

The Crusades were a defensive action taken after 400 years of muslim conquest.

They were not successful. Islam still exists.

the new generation in Russia knows nothing about their past and will deny that the brutality ever happened.

Completely untrue, having spend many months over 4 trips to Russia.

In the Orthodox church we know all about this since it was our church that was the primary source of victims for torture and murder.

Here's a link to share.

Russian martyrs

Also good to point out that religion was more closely tied to government in the past. Religion served as the marketing to make things happen.

Convince your subjects that the cause is in the name of God, and the State gets its way.

Also, also, note, along the same lines, it is the evil people who are most drawn to power. When there was more temporal power in the church, more of those were drawn to it.

This even happened on trivial levels - those abusing the sale of indulgences were basically no different than Mexican traffic cops today.

Power is what draws the evil out.

Which is why it’s a good idea to minimize the state’s power.

Lefties seem to think only evil people are in business, and the government is filled with saints.

Truth is, it’s a mix.

Who’s bringing the Somalian Muslims into the U.S. in droves? Catholic Charities, with the help of the Lutherans.

Whenever I post a comment at so-called libertarian sites that atheists have slaughtered more people than Christians, the comment is removed. That includes Breitbart. Atheists don’t want to be associated with their co-religionists in power.
