And I literally explained it to you! LITERALLY! But I will reiterate- he said Christians do bad stuff. He DID NOT say only Christians do bad stuff. That was the bit you added (the bit you twisted).

I refer you back to the bit in bold, that you clearly missed, which is the explanation. You did it again in your prior post where you twisted his words in the exact same way as described above, which you’ve erroneously put down to bad wording when actually its you misunderstanding.

Ryuu has said to leave this tangential point so this is my last reply on the subject.

I just saw something......

Medvedev is on his drunken ramblings again.

I'm not concerned about this until someone other than Medvedev says it.

Isn’t that similar to how they first approached annexing Donetsk and Luhansk though? Feels like something they’d be likely to follow through on. And Georgia isn’t in much of a position to resist in the same way as Ukraine, and also has a Pro-Russian government.

It is and I wouldn't be surprised but it is Medvedev talking so for now I wouldn't worry about it.

Shame about Georgia's Pro-Russian government but I don't believe the people share the same attitudes so it could get messy. I really doubt Russia could open another front so in my mind, there's a possibility that Georgia will be the fallback if they can't take Ukraine...And unfortunately Georgia would likely be in no position to defend from Russia if they even chose to, cause again, the pro-Russian Government.

I'm going to reply here, but we're getting off topic. This topic is about Russia and Ukraine. If you want to follow up with this conversation, either message me privately or post in a more relevant thread such as the US Politics thread, even though this conversation isn't about US politics, it is still pretty relevant there.

I'm speaking from and about a US American perspective. Christianity is huge here. 

You're framing church razing as if that is contradictory to Christianity being a big deal here; which isn't the case. There are plenty of different types of Christians, and some of them do not like the other. And I would guarantee that you would find that at least some people that burn down churches are in fact Christians from other churches.

It's also extremely simplistic. We also have plenty of attacks on Planned Parenthood, caused by plenty of Christians. You're not factoring in things like that either.

I'm not sure how you're relating these two comments. 

These two sentences are barely talking about the same thing. 

Serious question and I mean no offense, are you a native English speaker?

Oh my god. I took it easy on you, AND the-pi-guy for that matter, to avoid a ban. I had a post made, bowing out. It was posted.

But YOU, you piece of flotsam, the most insignificant part of this whole affair, who has added nothing to the discourse, save for half understood interpretations of things OTHER PEOPLE have said, had to open your fucking mouth, and have words fall out of it, like shit falls out of horse's ass and start things up again....AFTER the mod said for it to stop. Of course.

So here's my "after" post you smooth brained dipshit.

I think, if the-pi-guy had a dream, and in that dream, he typed out "If only the Hindu's were able to live up to 67% of the things they believe in, the world would be a better place", or X thing with, with X religion, that ISN'T a Christian denomination, he would wake up from that dream, his balls would turn charcoal black, fall off, and float into space. He would then totally ignore the incredible, normally traumatic events that had just transpired, and run to his nearest internet connected device to make sure he didn't actually type them out. That's an accurate assessment of the power structure in the US as it pertain to expressing opinions on religion.

So, I get to be totally shut down. Unless the soundwaves are comfortably bouncing around the echo chamber, the discussion is done after I respond. One time. Take it elsewhere! I didn't introduce the topic at hand, but I better be careful if I want to say anything about it.

And as for you, again, SecondWar, you absolute retard, you are clearly incapable of explaining anything. You can't even grab the baton, much less run with it. What is it you think you've done here again?

"Maybe there would be less degradation of Christian values if Christians actually did half of what they're supposed to believe in."

I gave the benefit of the doubt to him, because he said:

"I was talking about how they could do better and how they're not innocent of all of those things padib was excusing himself from."

Interpreting his original statement the way I did was not only fair, but should be expected, unless one is not in possession of basic English, skills, logic, or reason.

I was a jerk in my initial post. I acknowledged it at least, gave the-pi-guy credit for his tact, and attempted to further the discussion....

You then, proceed to.....direct me back to the-pi-guy's commet, for a third time, adding no input, and nothing of value. Again. OUT. STANDING.

Stay in your lane short bus.

You said: "Maybe there would be less degradation of Christian values if Christians actually did half of what they're supposed to believe in."

Do YOU understand English? It's one sentence.

You say that the sentence in question meant:

""I wasn't calling out Christians as being all the bad guys in the room or something."

You were clearly referring to all Christians when you said "Maybe there would be less degradation of Christian values if Christians actually did half of what they're supposed to believe in."

By any reasonable interpretation of the English language. But you said you that's not what you meant. So I gave you the benefit of the doubt. And waited for you to say what you actually meant. Are you seriously questioning my English here?

It'd sure be much easier to be open to discussion if those discussions weren't started with deliberate provocations and blatant off-topic. Seems more like venting than attempts to actually discuss the matter to me.

And this is why I wrote: DO.NOT.FEED.THE.TROLL.

One troll post and the thread is on the way to get derailed by endless "I'm a Christian you're not" ramblings.

People, get back to the subject of this thread.
