(Not finished)

Today I couldn’t refrain from commenting in Estonian in a conservative Christian Facebook group about an article that was recently published in a conservative Christian journal. My summary so far:

The Finnish Lutheran Church officially pronounced their support for the Helsinki Pride demonstration.

Päivi Räsänen, a conservative Christian Democrat member of Finnish parliament, then asked the Archbishop how church can bring this together with the Bible. And she quotes Paul’s letter to the Romans, chapter 1, verses 24 to 27.

Later she was accused for hate-spreading words and had to answer questions by the police. Estonian Conservative Christians now see her as a martyr.

I am not yet sure about what to think about all this.
