I never mentioned anything you said here while you 100% ignored my point so this quote chain is over.
I was attacking Protestants, but if I went to a Orthodox Priest and started attacking your system he wouldn't talk to me anymore.
I can definitively tell you that you are wrong, having known around ten Orthodox priests.

That sentence doesn't actually make grammatical sense.
Hmm, okay, i'll explain, I said I would die for my Family than Country, but that was a Typo, I would never sacrifice myself for and Nation of this world.
It's a very good thing that you live in America where you don't have to join the Army if you don't want to, rather than Finland, Switzerland or Israel.

Well, I assume the millions of people who suffered from the USSR, which was arguably the most evil country of all time, are happy it is gone
most evil country? Congratulations to Hitler's Germany, Mao's china, Musolini's Italy, imperial japan, Taliban, isis, North Korea, Khmer rouge you are no longer the most evil countries in the world. The sad thing is... you probably have no idea how people lived in most places in the ussr post the 1930's. You probably also don't know much about the worst leader in Russian history: Boris Yeltsin.
As evil as those countries were, let's examine this.
Twelve million people can be attributed to Hitler. Anywhere between 34-49 million can be attributed to Stalin alone. In addition, Nazi Germany lasted only twelve years to the Soviet Union's seventy-four.
While Mao did inadvertently cause many more people to starve from famine, this was by accident and was a matter of stupidity more than evil.
Mussolini's Italy... is completely irrelevant next to the above two.
Imperial Japan, while also committing awful atrocities, is nothing like the USSR or Nazi Germany.
The Taliban and ISIS are incredibly immoral, evil organizations, but their scope was control over small regions and the Taliban were in power for five years while ISIS still doesn't really hold power.
North Korea is horrible, and I'd say in many ways worse than the USSR, but I'd hardly call it more evil.
The Khmer Rouge regime was brutal, but only two million compared to the dozens of millions under the USSR.
Please educate us?
Yeltsin was an idiot, to be sure, but he hardly compares to Soviet Premiers in terms of being the worst in Russian history. When you add the old tsars to that...

We went into those places because they're riddled with terrorists who are attacking our people. We're not conquering those countries.
Libya? What used to be the most developed country in Africa? Now it is... after the usa's intervention with its big freedom stick. Also we are protecting ethnic minorities in central asia and eastern Europe. Something I am certain is a noteworthy goal.
You're forgetting Egypt and South Africa for a minute.

Official Soviet documents reveal that Stalin order the execution of 24 people, altogether 20 million people died excluding the deaths due to world war 2. He wasn't in command he cant be blamed for the war. The failure of the first and second 5 year plan was an underestimation of Soviet capacity. However the Soviet Union in just the first 5 years raised literacy from 20% (or around that) to 85%. Sure people didn't live in luxury but life was far better for most people under soviet rule than it is right now.
Libya? What used to be the most developed country in Africa? Now it is... after the usa's intervention with its big freedom stick. Also we are protecting ethnic minorities in central asia and eastern Europe. Something I am certain is a noteworthy goal.
You're forgetting Egypt and South Africa for a minute.
At the height of Qaddafi's Libya it had 0% loans, housing was a right, free world class healthcare, free education to all people, government assisted loans, free water (In a desert nation), free electricity. How does South Africa and Egypt fare against that? And don't tell me its just cause they have oil. South Africa has massive reserves of Gold, diamonds and platinum. And Algeria is very poor and they have twice as much oil as Libya. You may criticize my opinion and I respect that. However my position on these issues is pretty firm, I have seen what has happened in Russia and know people from Libya who long for the days of Qaddafi.

Or Russia, Or North Korea or Greece or Cyprus or Denmark or Norway or Egypt or China (mandatory military training to all male students going to uni) or Sweden or well you get the picture. Personally conscription isn't bad IMO there is a study I read on nationalism and conscription is a way to bolster nationalism and helps the economy (since many connections are made while serving in conscription).

I honestly don't believe Libya was actually that prosperous for a second, or everybody would have been living there.

And the phrase "Official Soviet Documents" essentially just equal the words "lies" in virtually all cases anyway.

Russia is officially communist, even though it barely is. In my opinion, communism does not make a country bad. I think that Russia and China are both awesome countries, because even though they are communist, their economy has elements of capitalism.
When you say officially... no. Everything isn't owned by the government. We just have large government companies. Many people still wish the ussr didn't fall apart that's definite.
I looked it up, and yes, Russia is capitalist. I was confusing it with China, which is still (officially) communist.

IMO, the USSR wasn't the most evil country ever, because they were on the good side during WWII.
Technically, there were plenty of polytheistic religions before Judaism.
Eh... as far as I can tell, making that claim alone debunks the Abrahamic religions. I'm extending Judaism to "Adam's conversational relationship with God."
Except there were a lot of religions before it, e.g. the Sumerian religion.
However my position on these issues is pretty firm, I have seen what has happened in Russia and know people from Libya who long for the days of Qaddafi.
