What a religious tragedy and almost overwhelming, Mohammedan-like arrogance it is that English speakers think that their very bad translations of bad translations of other very bad translations are God’s own word.

I believe that God honors the way that those English, that you malign, have taken those Greek Scriptures, kept locked away for centuries in those Greek monasteries, and disseminated them unselfishly into all the languages of the world than the way the Greeks wouldn't, couldn't, didn't and won't, can't, and still don't. LOL

Locked away in Greek monasteries? That’s absurd. Even you don’t believe that. The Gospels and Epistles are and have been for 2000 years, in every Orthodox Church for everyone to read; and you know what, Uncle Chip? Our people can and could and did read them. And what did you Anglophones pass out? Twisted translations of the scriptures we Easterners gave you designed to support your revolt against the Church of Rome! And now what does Western Christianity bring to the world? Support for Mohammedanism, destruction of Christian churches and the slaughter of their people. And right along side? “The Holy Spirit is doing a new thing!” Sin is no longer sin! The Western, especially American, female hierarchs and their limp wristed fellow travelers proclaim the sacredness of sodomite “marriage” while Protestant American leaders like Bush assure Mohammedan devil worshiping emirs that the American people love and respect their cult! And to prove it, we’ll defend the barbarian Turks’ practice of stabling animals in Orthodox Churches in Turkey and converting them to public urinals in northern Cyprus; we’ll prepare for war against Russia, plan attacks on Greece and Bulgaria and Serbia and Romania if they move to defend Orthodox Christians in Kosovo against the depredations of Saudi financed KLA jihadis; we’ll support anyone EXCEPT the Maronite, Melkite & Orthodox Christians of Lebanon (that just leaves Bush’s beloved Mohammedans, UC); we’ll subsidize Fatah homicide bombers to the tune of $500,000,000.00 of taxpayer money! My God, the Africans are so disgusted they are sending holy missionaries here to try to salvage something from the Sodom & Gomorrah the West has turned into since the Protestant revolution.

Yeah right, Uncle Chip, you American/Western Protestants have a lot to be proud of.
