Who’s ‘godless’ now? Russia says it’s U.S.
Washington Times ^ | Jan 2014 | Marc Bennets

MOSCOW — At the height of the Cold War, it was common for American conservatives to label the officially atheist Soviet Union a “godless nation.” More than two decades on, history has come full circle, as the Kremlin and its allies in the Russian Orthodox Church hurl the same allegation at the West. “Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a recent keynote speech. “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.”

Reminds me of that news story in 2009 when Hugo Chavez was making a speech and said “Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right”

God knows who is Godless and in league with His (and our) enemies. We don’t need Putin to point it out to us, either. He has his own problems. We already know just who is to blame.

It is an embarrassment, but the Russians have the “moral high ground” on this issue. As an old “cold warrior”, I hate to have to admit that.

The Russians learned the hard way that communism was a nightmare and a failure. The communists in America are still too stupid to have a clue.

He be right about that. There are few true Bible believing, Blood purchased, Cross believing, Resurrection believing Christians left.

It is very, very simple. America HAS to fall for the final prophesies of the Bible come true. For the One World Government to come in, America has to be out of the way. America is the one thing standing in the way. The dollar has to be take out. It cannot be the currency for the One Worlders. They need it gone. America gone. Then they can have everything they want. So, America has to go. When they can kill off America's power, then they can rule freely.

Yea. Us. The people that prayed to God to put an abortion supporting gay marriage founder in the White House.

He was probably too busy manning the return desk in heaven after Mitt’s personal planned parenthood funding helped a few babies find their way home, to grant that one.

On gay marriage Western Europe already was where we are now a few years back.

As were South Africa and parts of South America.

Who's to say where Russia will be in another few years time?

The Russian troll factory is spewing out propaganda like this for the gullible to lap up.

No, sorry. Putin is 100% correct in this. We are to elect and empower leaders. We are to pray for those leaders and stand to push them where the Country needs to go. Our leaders are GODLESS, thus, so is America. God will judge us harshly - all of us. Mostly, because Christians CONTINUE to stay silent. We are NOT standing. EVERY "Christian" pol should be out front condemning and refusing to enforce deviant marriage. But they are not. Louisiana is issuing licenses, under Jindahl, a supposed 'Christian'. Texas is issuing licenses under Abbott, a supposed 'Christian'.

You shall know them by their works. Thus far, not a Christian alive has fought back. Articles of Impeachment would have already been filed. But no, we will accept this, and the lawsuits and persecution that will now fall on the church.

I hate it when Russia is right.

Vlad can address his comments to:

United States Supreme Court
c/o Barack Obama’s Boudoir
Washington, D.C.

It’s coming very soon. I’m actually shocked it took so long to be honest.
We’re officially in league with the devil now. Bible believers know what follows when that happens.

The Devil could say the same thing.

Would that make him Godly?

Putin is a numbskull.
