(Tpaine):"We've all seen what happened at FR when religious fanaticism took too much control. Goldie doesn't want it to happen here. Comprende?"

LOL you are a piece of work. What about the libertarian, CT and homosexual lobby fanatics who post here? Mr. Libertarian you can't silence one philosophical voice or view, let all others opine and expect to be called libertarian.

Mr. Constitution I and every person of faith or religion has a First Amendment Right to freely exercise our religion AND as with all Americans the freedom of speech. Now if Goldi wants to limit those rights on her forum fine, but call it "Limited Libertypost" to accurately portray the site.

For someone who opines daily on the rights of individuals yet wants a particular philosophical thought suppressed is complete hypocrisy.

Please examine yourself.

Poster Comment: Tpaine -- yet another closeted out-of-the-woodwork Stalinist libertarian/Militant Atheist and anti-Christian -- was exposed and called out for his utter and complete blatant hypocrisy. Courtesy, redleghunter..

Redleghunter is apparently one of those "religious fanatics" tpaine referred to. Tpaine -- a HUGE so-called "constitutionalist" and crusader for libertarianism -- was emboldened and still intoxicated and inspired by Goldi-Lox's "fanatic jesus"/you make me VOMIT!" comment.

Will Mr. Constitution "comprende" Hunting Season when its declared on hypocritical Libertarians? Chyeah, Paine -- We ALL saw what happened when one Closet Christian-Hater got called out on his fake "libertarian" and select memory of the US Constitution.

Hypocrisy and pseudo-Stalinism at "Limited Liberty" Post has become rife. (Or has it always been, but just percolated up to the surface when Goldi blew open her Door of Hate?)

tpaine is one of the people I absolutely cannot stomach. He is a rabid Libertarian who doesn't realize that his comments reveal the opposite of what he claims to be.

A Libertarian to the extent that in his mind, moral relativism is supposedly the intent endorsed by the Framers of the Constitution. I am embarrassed for him, but also for many others at "Liberty" Post who hold the same opinion.

Having humored his charade of hiding behind the purported Atheism of Thomas Paine, just who was he?

Thomas Paine helped fan the flames of the American Revolution. So inspirational was it, that George Washington ordered the first essay from 'Common Sense' read aloud to the troops at Valley Forge...

Unfortunately, Paine later became infatuated with the French Revolution, which he mistakenly saw as in the same tradition as the American Revolution. Paine later realized his error. The American Revolution was based on Christian principles, while the French Revolution was hostile to Christianity. The American Revolution resulted in unprecedented political liberty for its citizens, while the French Revolution ended in a bloodthirsty tyranny.

Paine's unfortunate defense of the French Revolution was titled 'The Age of Reason,' a book he later recanted:

"I would give worlds, if I had them, if The Age of Reason had never been published. O Lord, help! Stay with me! It is hell to be left alone."

Thomas Paine's last words were:

"I die in perfect composure and resignation to the will of my Creator, God."

At least he posted a link to that thread, --- wherein Goldi, and I, defended her concept that posters on a forum dedicated to discussions on constitutional liberty and its political aspects, should not have to be subjected to fundamentalist preaching on threads posted about politics. I think we made her point, and the preaching over at LP was toned down a bit.

She was a pretty fierce monotheist. And there were times it was too much; sometimes it seems you couldn't go 5 posts on some threads without it jumping the tracks into deep theology. That wasn't what people clicked on the article to read. It's an entirely fair point. I always said the same about posting too much Ron Paul stuff. Or the endless Palin stuff. You need a mix of news to have a little broader site.

It isn't some final cruel descent into tyranny because you're expected to at least try post on-topic for a thread. Some people get so dramatic about it.

#23. To: TooConservative (#19)

Soviet? Seriously?

"Freedom from religion" is a Soviet concept, not an American one.

We have freedom OF religion here. For a site to advertise itself as not censoring people for their beliefs, but then to censor people due to their religious beliefs or in some cases even political beliefs (she also regularly purged Libertarian posts during election seasons -- note: I'm not a Libertarian, I just recognize that when the censorship of them started that someday it would happen to me too, and indeed it did.)

Off topic vulgarity and insults were tolerated and even encouraged, but people simply posting their religious views on a topic of the day were told to keep it hidden from view.

The Soviets did the same thing, they would proclaim that the Soviet Union had "freedom of and FROM religion", in practice that meant that if anyone saw you openly practicing or proclaiming Jesus Christ, that you would be punished for it.

The Soviets started out proclaiming that they were just "protecting" the average citizen from the "offensive" counter-revolutionary speech of Christians as well, but once they had consolidated their power then scenes like this one from the video occurred:

Image and video hosting 
by TinyPic

That Russian Orthodox Bishop was placed on trial and executed because he had committed the "crime" of selling all of his possessions and giving the money to the poor -- the Commies declared that he had committed "treason" because "poverty does not exist in the Soviet Union".

Ordinary people who went to Church would be tracked by the NKVD and later the KGB and punished for openly displaying their belief in Jesus Christ, because much like the God-Haters at LP, they were offended if they had to see someone openly being a Christian or talking about it.

Christians in the Soviet Union were told that they had "freedom of religion", they just had to keep it completely hidden or be punished because if a God- hater saw it they would be offended by it. The Soviets saw restrictions on the public practice of Christianity as completely reasonable, much like the God-hater contingent at LP felt about posting Christian viewpoints on the forums there.

The atheists continually bleat that they fear a "theocracy" if American Christians are allowed to participate in the public square, but history shows us that there was never any regime more completely evil and oppressive than the one that occurred when the atheists seized power.

Your whole post is a crock of crap,although I don't have the slightest doubt you believe it because it is what you have been told since you were a child.

Nobody was punished for going to church. In FACT,the priesthood was a KGB career field. After all,who better to keep a eye on the people than the man that hears their confessions?

Stalin understood this well because he went to school to become a priest.

The fact that it is rare to find a Russian that doesn't claim to be of the Russian Orthodox faith today is proof that religion wasn't suppressed on the level you claim.

The communists treated religion like they did everything else. They were for it as long as they controlled it,and opposed to it if they thought some foreigners were controlling it. Their whole focus was on controlling power over everyone and everything. I first went to Russia as a tourist the year the Soviet Union collapsed,and I grew up believing the same crap you do. I was very surprised to see all the old churches being restored and at never personally meeting a Russian that didn't claim to believe in God. I'm sure they exist,I just didn't meet any.

So it couldn't be freedom from state religion. Maybe Federal religion.

So if the state constitution didn't prohibit why couldn't you have a state religion? I'm not saying we should or shouldn't. I'm just saying words have meanings.

I don't know who you think claimed that to be true,but it sure wasn't ME. The only Christian religion that was state-approved in the Soviet Union was the Russian Orthodox Church.

Of course there were also Jews and Muslims in the USSR,but I have no idea how the various sects were treated,or if one sect from each was given preference.

Nobody was punished for going to church. In FACT,the priesthood was a KGB career field. After all,who better to keep a eye on the people than the man that hears their confessions?

Stalin understood this well because he went to school to become a priest.

The fact that it is rare to find a Russian that doesn't claim to be of the Russian Orthodox faith today is proof that religion wasn't suppressed on the level you claim.

The communists treated religion like they did everything else. They were for it as long as they controlled it,and opposed to it if they thought some foreigners were controlling it. Their whole focus was on controlling power over everyone and everything. I first went to Russia as a tourist the year the Soviet Union collapsed,and I grew up believing the same crap you do. I was very surprised to see all the old churches being restored and at never personally meeting a Russian that didn't claim to believe in God. I'm sure they exist,I just didn't meet any.

The documentation for people being punished for going to Church is enormous. One Russian Orthodox priest was literally CRUCIFIED on the doors to his Church by the Atheist Soviets.

Literally millions of Christians were killed because of their public confession of Jesus Christ.

And yes, the majority of Russians were and are Christian. They were being persecuted by an Atheist minority. That's what happens when you let people with an Atheist world-view seize power, they have no moral code.

And you confess that you saw Churches being RESTORED. Who was it that had torn them down in the first place?

And of course today most Russians are indeed openly Christian. They KNOW that only God could have overthrown the most evil empire in the history of mankind.

And we all know documents don't lie,right?

I have never tried to deny that some priests weren't murdered by the Soviets,and their churches weren't shut down. Stalin had this done to some of the priests that wouldn't play the role of informer on their congregation. Others were sent off to the labor camps and worked/starved to death.

The ones that did play along kept their churches and were kept fat and happy.

Or maybe you think that Stalin didn't know about the Patriarch in Moscow? And you confess that you saw Churches being RESTORED. Who was it that had torn them down in the first place?

"CONFESS"? What religious crime am I being suspected of being guilty?

SOME churches doesn't equal ALL churches,which was your original claim.

They KNOW that only God could have overthrown the most evil empire in the history of mankind.

Uh,huh. Odd how they/you never seem to question how a all-powerful and all-seeing God let the evil empire come into existence to start with,isn't it?

Maybe you think Stalin had him fooled because he went to Divinity School?
