Kos: "They have no business in Christian countries."

Kol: None whatsoever.

Why, because it may offend the sensibilities of some reilgious hierarchy? Allowing those in obvious error to determine what you can and cannot do makes no sense. South America is a perfect example with the ridiculous levels "Marian Veneration" has risen to. It is a Christian's duty to preach The Gospel.

“Why, because it may offend the sensibilities of some reilgious hierarchy?”

WF, at least in the East, the tender sensitivities of the hierarchy of The Church will not be hurt by some bible thumper in a cheap suit. Centuries under Mohammedanism or decades crushed under the heel of atheistic communism have given them a sense of perspective sadly lacking in the West.

“Allowing those in obvious error to determine what you can and cannot do makes no sense.”

I agree. That's why the statutes outlawing proselytizing by heretics are so popular in the East.

“South America is a perfect example with the ridiculous levels “Marian Veneration” has risen to.”

I wouldn't know about that. Has it risen to “ridiculous levels” there?

“It is a Christian's duty to preach The Gospel.”

It is? Which Christians?
