I was granted permission to post this OP some time ago by the moderators of GA. At that time, I declined to post my response, mostly because I was led to believe, by the moderators of c/Christianity, that they would moderate their own behaviors. I gave them full opportunity to do this and they did not. I call on scripture
Matthew 7:20 KJV Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Since that time of my lying down with the Lion, I have been
Threatened with bodily harm, specifically the breaking out of all my teeth, by a moderator.
I have been "accursed" by this same moderator, using the Lord's name in vain "I'm sick of your &^%damned lies."
I have been, constantly and without respite, falsely accused. I've been called a liar, stupid, confused, among many other un Christian like deeds. And there is no relief or recourse to be had of this. Just this morning, a post correcting this mod over his explanation for the reason of using the atomic bomb on Japan, was deleted. This would be the final straw. Here is the link to the thread in question
https://communities.win/c/Christianity/p/141FAYi9YJ/thoughts-on-marin-scorseses-sile/c/4JKzpkKuUyr
And a link to the comment that was deleted (the second one in the list.)
https://communities.win/u/Andy_Man45/ (This link also serves as witness to my specific "behavior.")
I am not going to share my personal opinion of this particular moderator's intelligence or attitude, I leave that to those who employ him in his role. I'd like to also make note, that, for this entire time since my last call for correction, he has been completely and totally free to condemn me based on my beliefs while he falsely accuses me of condemning others when I only question their beliefs. This being another fruit that we can clearly see
Isiah 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
I'm done with it. Don't come at me with more hollow promises, u/SwampRangers. Remove the evil from your midst. If that should be found to be me, consider it already accomplished.
Thank you for your openness, Andy, I have read this and am praying about it, and investigating. Of course readers know there are at least two sides to stories like this and so judgment cannot be made on this post alone. I respect that you are looking for action rather than promises and so I will need to presume upon your patience rather than to seek to pacify you with words by themselves.
u/Andy_Man45, the judgment of the moderation board is that your comment has been restored due to misunderstanding during its deletion, and the original post has been relocated to the Inquiry Forum due to its political and divisive nature.
Obviously there may still remain a personal disagreement between you and u/CuomoisaMassMurderer. This is a church issue, not a forum issue, and can be handled on a personal level and I hope to join that discussion as well.
God bless u brother. I am praying WE ALL can work thru this. Much love.
Fairness and impartiality, that's it. If I should be found in error, in anything that I teach, anyone is free to correct me. I don't even downvote people, with only rare exceptions, never mind deleting them or calling them insane and then deleting their response. You do not see how one sided this is, or are you in fear of retribution?
I think we are building up something new over there. With a lot of different people. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses. Since this is something new we have to ALL figure out how rhe pieces work together. The only side I see is Christ. U both are family to me. It is tough being mod. But I trust if they were wrong that God will correct them and we can all continue to move forward. I have learned a lot from BOTH you guys. Me picking sides would not serve any purpose but division. But I do care about u and hope u stick it out with us.
So truth takes a back seat to the final product?
This is the untruth used to justify the deletion
You're completely off topic going on a rant about WWII. Unsorry Apologetics wasn't talking about WWII, and your twist serves as a red herring to what he was saying.
Here is the original comment that started the discussion thread
The atomic bomb was dropped that Sunday morning on August 6th 1945....the Great Satan.
This isn't about WWII?
This is false witness and an abuse of authority. This is what you build upon?
So the post wasnt about WW2. That comment was a quote from the post where he referenced the great satan. Then there was an exchange about what the great satan mean. So based off that I dont see a proper opening to just bring in ALL of WW2. How ever I do not know what ur EXACT response was so I cant really say past the words I can read.

The atomic bomb was dropped that Sunday morning on August 6th 1945 with all those Christians in attendance. What the Japanese government could not do in centuries of lethal persecution was done by American Christians in mere moments. Christianity has never recovered in Japan since that day.
The Great Satan.
CuomoisaMassMurderer1 points19 hours ago
That's a term used by Islamic jihadists. I'm uncomfortable with your being comfortable with it.
UnsorryApologetics0 points8 hours ago
I once had an issue with it too. However, seeing the cultural degradation of America, and how we export this degenerate culture to the rest of the world, I find it a very apt descriptor.
CuomoisaMassMurderer1 points8 hours ago
Obviously you know nothing of the Kalergi plan, Fabian Society, Frankfort School, and probably not the Weimar Republic, either. You are demonstrating being a product of cultural Marxism being taught in schools. By no means did this start with Obama, it actually goes back to the creation of the CFR in 1921. Obama's apology tour certainly accelerated this nonsense.
Learn some history, young Padawan! What you were taught is based on hiding fact from you, and trying to prevent you from ever engaging in critical thought. Even that is not because "the US is the great satan." That's a counterfactual that this won't be used as a platform for.
Up to this point, 4 comments that weren't "off topic"

What are you talking about? We didn't nuke Germany. What he doesn't know about, aside from a lot of other things, is Nanking, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The first and most very basic fact is that the atomic bomb saved lives, both American and Japanese. An invasion of the mainland would have produced deaths into the millions.
This belief in the "great satan" is a solid testimony of being easily led by the lie. Did America occupy and enslave the Japanese (and Germans) or did they assist them in rebuilding and then withdrew the occupation force as soon as stabilization was achieved? Anyone can study this instead of just regurgitating some socialist/ satanic manifesto.
What a great job of transferring the masonic agenda to all of America we have here, way to go, take pride in your brainwashing. And if you want to blame anyone for the exportation of evil into the world, look to those who don't speak out against it. "They just want to get along," yeah, okay.
It can't be more obvious that UA was calling the US "the Great Satan" based on our use of the atomic bomb in WWII. The mod even responded to it with the "Kalergi plan" a WWII Russian Japanese WWII plot.
Never mind any of this manufactured false reality, where's the harm of leaving the comment as is? Because it slighted the moderator, is why it was removed. The same moderator that spent the last week openly questioning my sanity, knowing full well I'm not allowed to properly respond to this false witness. And calling me a liar before that. And calling me hater before that.
Look, man, if y'all don't want me around, just say it. As it is, I'm taking the hint.
What a weird thing to delete. Especially considering how off topic and often heretical our threads can get. I would have upvoted, and asked what were the Japanese "Christians" actually doing during WWII? The same as the German and Italian "Christians"? I see four options: active persecutors, fleeing the country, going along to get along or going to the death camps? Someone make this a movie.
This is from the OP write up -
Possibly a tangent - but Nagasaki was the place for Christianity in Japan prior to WW2.
Off topic?
I told u I hadn't yet read you comment so please can we not judge my intentions when I am saying" I dont yet have the full picture but these r the thought I had" I do not understand the deletion either.
Hey brother how r u today. Just wanted to check in with u and see where u were at with doing the prayer thread. I know there is some conflict going on so not sure if ur gonna or not. Didnt wanna do it if u wanted to. Just let me know brother. God bless
You can do it.
I think we should build on faith and that Truth will come from it
Yes, but it's going on one year now that I've been waiting.
I know brother I know. It's been a long road.
Hi u/Andy_Man45.
I appreciate you, brother. Not trying to take a dog by the ears by meddling; but since I ran across your post, I wanted to let you know that.
Sincerely,
/u/2Kings616
I rest my case.
"condemn me based on my beliefs"
---->"That hasn't happened once."<------
You have no case, just lies.
What I said was you refuse to stop lying,
Here you demonstrate both making and loving a lie
you violate reams of Scripture to do this.
You lie in order to do this.
Your reading comprehension has failed frequently.
Your habit of lying
It could be labeled many things, but it's evil.
Normally you reserve that lying behavior for Catholics.
Keep in mind that this guy is on my turf now and I could very easily respond in kind. My human nature is urging me to burn some bridges and let it all out. But that would not be very Christ like. Therefore, I let his OWN WORDS speak for themselves.
And, as for the charges brought against me, it should be well and easy to produce evidence of what is spoken against me. Anyone can search my posts and comments from the very beginning, I have deleted nothing, and bring forth evidence or examples of these "lies." I grant permission. We should all be able to discern from this clear examples of "hate" and "condemnation." Be sure to bring the context because I will go get it if it should not be found within.
Prove what you say.
I ask of the church, does it appear, by this above comment, that he even bothered to read the OP? I clearly stated that yesterday's deletion was the final straw, base understanding of this phrase should lead one to believe that the camel was already loaded to the max capacity. Maybe that's why there were lots of other reasons listed. And now we can add this very comment above to the burden of the broken camels back.
How many of you would stand for being told, day after day, month after month, that you "fail to comprehend" something and are given no explanation as to why they believe that. I responded to HIS words in the comment that was deleted. I'm the one who doesn't comprehend? Now, apply this same scenario to everything I say.
Am pretty sure you know the judge that counts. And am absolutely sure He knows you.
Thank you. This is why I put it before the Body. And will abide in any decision. (Other than being asked to participate in a situation in which I am not allowed to participate in.)
This is exactly why we cannot and should not trust our so-called "leaders". Not even here.
I've seen some vile things from moderators here on ga.w a while ago that directly contradicted their own mission statements. Perhaps they've learned from their shortcomings or perhaps they've gotten better at hiding them because I haven't seen those kinds of things happening anymore. Either way I'll never trust them, any of them, again.
But now speaking of Christianity. It is well known that the world is in this state because so many have chosen to reject God, but it is not as well-known (more likely simply ignored) that choosing to obey only some parts of His Word and ignoring or substituting the rest is the same thing as rejecting Him. c/Christianity is riddled with "denominations" and people saying denominations are ok to attend, yet "denomination" means to be based on but distinct from.
When people ask me what church I go to I point at Matthiew 16:18 and say "This one." "...and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
Not too long ago half a thread downvoted me for pointing out that divorce without sexual imorality is a sin and would only make their situation worse. It makes me wonder if we're going to win this war, but then again this is the Intardweeb.
So bottom line: never go to the Intardweeb for matters of worship, go to the Bible first and people who you personally know only care about the Truth whether they like it or not second.
We'll soon come to realize that all mods aren't for us or what we stand for. I'm not Christian and I have plenty of legitimate reasons for that but having a mod do what you're describing is beyond mere disagreements.
You have a right to express yourself, within certain perameters, and you shouldn't be dealing with this. I've had petty ass mods pull my Pepe avatar simply because I held an opinion they silently disagreed with.
Even more, if you can't find fair and impartial at the Christianity forum, what do we really have?
Fair point, fren.
One question, in brief, if you don't mind sharing, why do you not believe?
I do believe in God. There is only one and His name is Jesus Christ.
What I take issue with are the doctrines and practices of nominal Christianity. I grew up in Pentecostal/AOG churches and was part of the ministry at 14. As I got older, I began to see many discrepancies between what the scriptures actually said and what I was being fed. Left at 19 and never looked back.
The Holy Spirit is strong in you. God Bless you.
Andy,
how many x & I was in SHOCK... he thought nothing of it, over 9 months ago. He even said "but it was less than the worst" so he Compared me to the WORST people, this from a man who Judged me only by words, NOT knowing me as a wonderful child-of-God Beloved by Jesus. ---- In the past 4 months, Swamp judged me "improved". But all that changed was his perception, while I'm still the SAME wonderful child-of-God Beloved by Jesus.. I haven't changed. So Yes, mods can destroy a person, & worse, what do they care? Their life goes on.
Lately there was 1 thread where Ciamm deleted me several times RE him personally; - but the rest of 1 year AFAIK we've gotten along peaceably...
Reading the exchange between UA & you, = from what Jesus tells me I think you are right(er). & I will never be catholic.
Just once, this week in fact you told me that since I don't know the Bible like you & some others in c/christianity, I have NOT made a commitment to Christ. -
What you did is try to Summarily Nullify the decades I have spent chatting with Jesus. while you are NOT the judge of my soul, & neither are the 2 mods. - You said at the start here, for anybody to tell you where you are wrong --> telling me "yes honey" doesn't negate your judgment of me. All you have is an opinion, 1 of a warped perception, same as the mod's perception.
Jesus told me that All 3 of you have a >HUMILITY-problem< in that you've all read Matthew 18:2-4 but are Not "living like a Little child", & therefore are Not the greatest in God's kingdom.
And further may I remind (the 3 of you that none of you) KNOW me as does Jesus, my all.
Arent children constantly changing, improving and growing?
Just once, this week in fact you told me that since I don't know the Bible like you & some others in c/christianity, I have NOT made a commitment to Christ. -
How can I possibly bless not reading the Bible?
