So you place your hopes on these superstitious cult members? Unwise. They prey very different god.

I won’t pretend to be an expert on theology. But I will say this. Back in 1453 the Christian city of Constantinople fell to the Islamic Ottoman Turks. That was one of the greatest disasters of all times.

One reason the city fell is because the Western princes preferred to squabble among themselves instead of uniting against the common Islamic enemy.

Bishop A called Bishop B a heretic. Bishop B called Bishop A a heretic. Etc. As they debated, the walls of Constantinople were breached.

Is that terrible mistake being repeated today? I think so. And Russia is not innocent in that. Putin has not exactly been a great friend to Western Europe. Putin provokes us. We provoke Putin. And Islam marches on (as does China, by the way).

Aha. Such a “grate communicator”!

Yes indeed, you “prey to a different god.”

Nonsense. You don’t know what you are talking about.

Your post shows us more about you than it does about our brothers and sisters in the Russian Orthodox Christians.

Unfortunately.
