But in Romania, this is not your grandfather\u2019s Christianity<\/a>.\u00a0 At least not if you grew up here in the States.\u00a0 True, they are facing the same double standard visited on American Christians for some time.\u00a0 Basically, anyone can meddle in the Secular government as long as you are advancing the designs of the Secular Left<\/a>.\u00a0 You can jump into bed with the government in the name of your religion all you want, as long as it is to help the Cause.\u00a0 But the minute you oppose, that\u2019s when the old \u2018Separation of Church and State\u2019 card gets played.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But it looks like the Romanian Church is having none of it.\u00a0 No intimidation there.\u00a0 Why would there be?\u00a0 This is where Dracula lives for crying out loud!\u00a0 You think they\u2019re going to be bothered by a little Secular Liberal intimidation and sleight of hand?\u00a0 No, really.\u00a0 They survived the radically leftist dream of Communist tyranny and terror, and emerged battered and bruised, but alive.\u00a0 I think they can handle the tricks that have so bebothered and confusticated us American Christians for the last few decades. Especially because, as anyone who lived through the terrors of the Communist hell pit can tell you, it doesn\u2019t take the brains of an ass to know that when people insist they only want this, in all likelihood tomorrow, they will want so much more<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
