    An excerpt:

    We give thanks to Almighty God for the United States of
    AmericarCoa nation that has, by the grace of God, afforded
    its people the freedom to worship, to follow the way of
    Jesus Christ, and to bear witness to the Gospel without
    fear or compulsion. We do not take these gifts for granted.
    They are blessings of divine providence, entrusted to us
    as a sacred responsibility. The freedom to gather in our
    churches, to catechize our children in the Faith, to
    proclaim the Resurrection of Christ openly and without
    hindrancerCothese are gifts for which every generation must

    Yes they must! Thanking our god is not optional.

    give thanks to God and remain worthy stewards.

    Great idea. Let's establish a Holy Orthodox Government
    and kill off all those false gods!

    Move to Utah, it's right there waiting for you!
