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.
I concur. The USSR did some good stuff. (But ISIS isn't a country)
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.
Actually Libya has a higher HDI than both of those, but Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritius, and Seychelles have higher HDIs than Libya. So Seychelles is the most developed country in Africa.

IMO, the USSR wasn't the most evil country ever, because they were on the good side during WWII.
That's incredibly debatable, since they continually attacked Allied resistance forces and deliberately hindered Allied movements for their own interest. It's a "the enemy of my enemy..." situation, except that he's still going to be your enemy after the war ends.

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.
Adam's conversational relationship with God would include the first words ever spoken by a human being, so I don't think any religion could predate it. :tounge:
Yeah, but he's a Founding Father who's always glorified as an amazing person.
Jefferson is hard to deal with, because he did have some moral issues, but also was beautifully eloquent in basically summing up America He was a mixed bag
Well, to be fair, according to the definition of amazing, he was pretty amazing. That doesn't mean he was right about everything, however.
A Thomas Jefferson fan?
Jefferson is pretty awesome, even if my Revolutionary relatives had their issues with him.

Why'd they dislike him...?
In the late 1700s-early 1800s, Spain controlled New Orleans, the mouth of the Mississippi River and the source for much of Kentucky's commerce. The Kingdom of Spain had closed the New Orleans ports for political reasons and Secretary of State Jefferson intended to repair good relations with the King of Spain even at the cost of Kentucky's economy by allowing this. Governor Isaac Shelby wrote a series of correspondences to Jefferson, iterating that Jefferson represented the American people and their interests and not the interests of the King of Spain, and that if Jefferson would continue to value the interests of Spain over those of his people, Shelby would use his own means to reopen the harbor. President Washington acquired American rights to shipping in New Orleans soon after.

Well both Catholic and Orthodox say they kept the original faith. Okay, I meant Theotokis. Yes by 300 bad practices entered the church. I said I was a bible Christian, the Bible and what is says are holy, nothing here is, Tradition doesn't matter,God tells us what we need to worship, so you want to add to the Bible? Christmas isn't in the bible, neither is Easter, both are wrong. King David was in the Old Testamant, things changed since then. Actually I already have, plus Its not are business as Christians to make laws for nations.
There may be no evidence for the dates of Christmas and Easter. But should we not celebrate them just because we don't know the exact date? It doesn't really matter when we celebrate them. It might be odd, but it wouldn't be 'wrong' to celebrate Christmas in July. It would probably be inacurate, but it wouldn't matter that much.
If people want to celebrate an important religious occasion, why shouldn't they? One doesn't have to, but it's not wrong.
Were to celebrate those days everyday, we don't need a holiday, besides that's church and state again, but We are to celebrate Christ's Resurrection everyday.

And in a way they have, although one has changed and the other has not.
The Theotokos is Mary, since it literally means "Mother of God." My statement stands.
By 300 bad practices had entered the church? The Bible you currently read was not compiled by 300. In addition to that, the Bible you read (NKJV) was altered by the King of Scotland/England to change Jacob's name to James, just to satisfy his own vanity.
I agree that what the Bible says is holy, but just because something isn't holy doesn't mean it's evil. I don't even add what we need to worship.. what are you going on about? Christmas/Easter are merely commemorations of Jesus' birth and resurrection. Nobody says that considering these days holy is an integral part of being a Christian.
You'll note that many laws only written in the Old Testament are used by Christians to condemn acts they dislike. If things have changed so dramatically that God somehow now condemns instruments, then maybe he's also changed to not condemn other things?
Might I mention the office of Priest is obsolete and wrong. Theotokos is God Bearer, saying that Mary is the Bearer of God, a serious error. I think you're getting the KJV and the NKJV confused. Think about it, Holy is without Sin, Nothing on earth or anyone but God is Holy, so everything else is non-holy, with which means WITH Sin, Sin is evil and therefore everything is Evil, Including Us, Now Christ made a way for us to live but we are still evil and sinning.
