But, I think he has a keen sense of the value of an extra-governmental moral authority, and repository for the culture of a nation.
It seems undeniable to me.
I respect what they are trying to do but I do not think they should make it a criminal offense to insult the sensibilities of Christians. In the age of the Gaysapo that may be necessry. But better to just let people get over the insult in the normal manner with social disapproval. I do, however, agree with banning the gay propoganda. I would have defended their free speech except around children back when the courts didn’t mandate everyone side with their opinions, but now...I would favor just banning the whole thing.
The amazing image for me was the Orthodox Priests blessing the Russian fighter jets before the Syrian bombing runs.
Must keep in mind Islam dominates and assimilates a country by sheer numbers.
The most important issue for a future America is to have a strict control of the maximum amount of muslims in the country. Like .5 percent.
Even 2% can get out of control if they are part of the government.
The article is false. Russia is more overtly Orthodox Christian, but it is not actually Orthodox Christian. Their church attendance is incredibly low in comparison to how many people identify as Orthodox. The number of people who attend church just once a month is around 7 percent out of the entire population. In comparison to the US, where the church is considered “in trouble,” it’s around 27 percent attendance, if memory serves.
Russia is a dysfunctional, extremely corrupt country where even day to day casual life is bound to include instances of criminal behavior. Russia is no “Christian” country. They simply pretend that they are. It’s really a nation of bloody (and I mean murderous) hypocrites.
I don't believe anything has changed from this. I'm just wondering why Putin is playing the audience who he is playing. Maybe Communist Russia just hates Islam more than Christianity.
