I am not popular either & nobody knows that I am actually a Christian because nobody knows what a Christian really is. People live in their imagination & are spiritually unconscious so I do not toss pearls before swine. Personally I don’t care if you upset “Christians” because your humour is well over their heads anyways. I appreciate your take on Putin & consider your analysis a “level up “ type of intelligence, so as always one must consider the source. Keep working, real Christians are forgiving after all.

I'm forgiving too. I mean I was there and I also used to think it was real and true and good to believe in. Made a fool of myself a few times preaching about the faith to boot.

Whenever you finally decide to move on from the lies you will find that many other people have made the difficult but eye-opening journey. I pray that you will reject the Bible with all your heart and soul someday, along with all my fellow tricked Christian peasants.

It says the bible was ok but sooo yesterday. Some say the New Testament was written by Josephus to pacify the Jews who were a menace to the Romans. “A murderous rabble” who would have thought? No? Urantia book describes the spiritual journey in greater detail than the parables could ever hope to do.

Rolo, as a subscriber, I appreciate your work. This is an example of another good article.

As a Christian, I dislike your pervasive mockery of God and Jesus Christ. Maybe you are trying to get a laugh out of people. I am not one of them. Please know God is not mocked.

Thanks for your support!

Do you think I should start a fund to prevent me from blaspheming?

Like, if Christians raise a certain amount I refrain from taking a shot at their god?

He's not mocking God. He's mocking Christians who believe in the God-saved-Trump story.

Just like when eating a steak, you eat the meat and spit out the bones. And yes the meat on this site is excellent, but I also can't stand the mockery of Christians. As almost everyone that would be interested in this information is also Christian, I can't forward the articles to more than a select bunch.

In the english speaking world, as far as I know, only you, fitzinfo and Edward Slavsquat have cottened on to the Putin fraud.

In the French speaking world we have Sebastien K, Pierre Hillard and others who are Catholic and also understand what is going on. The war in Ukraine is not meant to be won but simply fought. As the results of all wars in living memory result in a stalement expect where the only victor is the synagogue, there is no reason why the Ukraine war should be any different.

From the Catholic perspective, Trump and Putin are colluding via Chabad Lubovitch to ensure that the third temple is raised in Jerusalem and that the Goyim will be forced to live under the 7 Noahide Laws.

but that's sort of why I mock Christians with such glee.

because I know I'm telling the truth about Putin and the war and the rest. and I know that i'm one of a very few that does. the Christian is put in a hard spot because the apostate is right and their fellow Christian bloggers have been so clearly wrong.

i really really enjoy the gnashing of teeth that this causes.

also: you are 100% right about noahidism. and christianity is already 90% noahidism as is. that was the whole goal of christianity. paul justifies his mission to the gentiles as a form of noahidism.

from ClaudeAI about noahidism and Paul:

Several scholars have indeed explored connections between Paul's teachings and Noahide-like concepts. Here's a fair presentation of some key ideas:

E.P. Sanders:

While not directly arguing for a Noahide-Paul connection, his work on "covenantal nomism" provides context for understanding Paul's approach to Gentile inclusion within Jewish frameworks.

John Gager:

Argues that Paul maintained distinct paths for Jews and Gentiles, similar to later Noahide concepts.

Suggests Paul's teachings for Gentiles resembled a simplified moral code akin to Noahide laws.

Paula Fredriksen:

Proposes that Paul's mission to Gentiles was influenced by Jewish ideas about righteous Gentiles.

Sees parallels between Paul's ethical teachings and concepts similar to later Noahide laws.

Mark Nanos:

Argues that Paul's teachings for Gentiles were meant to create a category of righteous non-Jews within Jewish communities.

Draws parallels to later Noahide concepts, though not explicitly using that term.

Alan Segal:

Explores how Paul's theology might have been influenced by Jewish ideas about non-Jews' relationship to God.

Suggests some of Paul's teachings reflect a universalized version of Jewish law similar to Noahide concepts.

These scholars generally argue that while Paul didn't explicitly reference Noahidism (as it hadn't been formalized), his approach to Gentile inclusion and ethics shows similarities to later Noahide concepts. They suggest Paul was working within existing Jewish frameworks for understanding Gentile righteousness, which later developed into more formal Noahide concepts.

But this is the problem. Christianity is yet another mind control matrix. Rurik would be doing us a disservice if he were to be feeding us red pills with one hand and blue pills with the other.

There's truth behind Christianity for sure, but it's exactly like what you say about eating the steak...

I appreciate the information you share. Other than you, my source of information on the SMO is the Duran, the New Atlas and various videos by people like Scott Ritter. In other words, they present a very optimistic picture of Russian prospects in the war.

But if there is as much rot as you describe, the prospects for a Russian victory are a lot thinner than they seem. And why would I like a qualified Russian victory? I think there is a genuine danger to Russia from NATO expansion and I favor the right of all nations to exist and protect their own interests. The Western governments are sooner or later (probably sooner) going to do to their own populations what they do to the countries they control.

Maybe you’re already raising money from Christians, as in subscribers. If you have a problem with “Their God” then they can always go back to being freeloaders where you are at liberty & quite welcome to mock them for free. Your diligent efforts are appreciated but the smartass schtick is not.

i write about russia in english and not from an anti-russian perspective.

the only westerners who are interested in russia are christians and pro-putin.

i am blogging on hard mode by being against both those things.

if i wanted it to be easy, i would have made different choices.

clearly, im not all that interested in being popular.
