Christians persecuting , torturing and murdering other Christians ? Why ? I cannot imagine this one
The Russian Orthodox “Church” is run by the KGB which has murdered and persecuted Christians all over the world for decades. In the Putin tyranny, only the state-controlled church is allowed and all free churches are persecuted, just like in Communist China.
I cant wrap my head around this one either....
The Russian Orthodox Church is a “join us or die,” organization, like ISIS.
I’m not calling BS yet but it seems off to me too.
So many thugs in the area, its hard to know who to believe.
Because stupid people keep giving the image that Putin is some kind of a Christian hero, like Buchannon. Truth is the ROC's patriarch is a "former" KGB agent, and churches, not just Protestants, but Catholics too, are persecuted even in Russia proper. There is plenty of this to find on any website that catalogs Christian persecution by country.
Problem is that some of our Russian-sympathetic FReepers have been presenting Vladimir Putin as some sort of “Hero of Christendom” when he is anything but. (And make no mistake, these goons are either his, or supplied by him).
“I don’t hate my husband’s killers”
Then you are as stupid as the day is long.
Yeah, with a quick search I found a lot of stuff about Ukrainian officials persecuting Christians too.
There is so much BS out there, hard to sort it all out. You have Putins thugs, Ukrainian thugs, tilted media.
Let’s just stay out of this one.
Too bad the Ukrainian supporters won’t go over in person and help out. At the very least they could send money or even care packages.
And still no word about Catholic Charities bring them to Maine. I guess white Christians need not apply to Catholic Charities of Maine.
Let’s keep our argument to one thread. That way it will be easier to see which prong of the 4P Club you represent. (paleo/paultard/putinista/peacenik)
Okay, provide a link.

The existence of Putin's thugs is a proven fact as a matter of policy and strategy for the Kremlin. It is not something you can dispute.
Let’s just stay out of this one.
Stay out of what? How does staying out of something change persecution of Christians by the Kremlin and its hired enforcers?
American liberals dream of this day.
In America.
Here are two.

I’m not doubting Putins thugs.
Why support any thugs?
Uhh, your links? One of the reasons that Kremlin goon lost his job and had to flee the country.
“I guess white Christians need not apply to Catholic Charities of Maine.”
What the heck are you talking about? White Christians need not apply? What do you think Catholic Charities is chock full of. That’s right, white Christians. So white Christians need not apply to white Christians? Sounds like you have an axe to grind with Catholics. Right?
This link is from January 31st when Yanukovych, the Russian puppet, was still in the throes of torturing and beating people with the Berkut. Currently, the Ukrainians are fighting off the same people, who are not manifested in the "separatists," i.e. Russian soldiers and mercenaries.
Your second link is the same as the first.
Why support any thugs?
So far, you are talking about only Russkie thugs, not alleged evil Ukrainian thugs. There are certainly bad Ukrainians out there, but this is quite different from a few bad apples to a policy of persecution by those in charge.
Typo, whoops. Not = now, “who are NOW manifested by...” etc. is how it should have read.
