Pushing a Christian line, even if it is not sincerely, is a better deal than attacking Christianity on all fronts.
I don’t know why Putin’s intentions are anyone’s business in America.
Bottom line is US has managed to establish a unique socioeconomic system at the time, but going to blow it hijacking a sort of Commintern from the Soviets after their collapse.
Yet, instead of fighting for the Republic and holding your governmeent accountable for sprearing economic and cultural socialism at home and elsewhere, people are questioning a foreign leader’s values, are they sincere or not.
Being a ‘thug’ or a ‘false Christian’ Putin does a better job for freedom by just publicly calling to faith and criticising Marxism than all the Western politicians who are pushing for Islam, welfare state and homosex, even if he is not sincere.
Does anyone remember NATO? We are still members, and we still care about Russian expansionism and goals on the world, we still have guys on active duty that were a part of Reagan's 435,000 Americans in Europe, looking down the barrels of the guns of their massive and evil, and worse than Nazis Empire.
Church in Russia liquidated as authorities target Christian-run projects
Churches and Christian organisations in Russia that are engaged in educational, social and charitable work are facing harassment from the authorities. One church has been liquidated for alleged illegal non-religious educational activity.
On 5 March, St Petersburg’s Harvest Pentecostal Church’s appeal against its closure was rejected by Russia’s Supreme Court. The court upheld a ruling on 14 November that the church had been conducting general (non-religious) educational work, which, as a religious organisation, it was not licensed to do.
The church had been subjected to an unannounced inspection in May 2013 by officials purportedly checking for “extremist” activity. It was fined for minor violations of fire and sanitary regulations, and the pastor was later summoned to attend the liquidation hearing.
A case was brought against Harvest Church because, the Prosecutor’s Office said, its premises were “equipped as classrooms with school desks and chairs [and] shelves with educational literature”. St Petersburg City Court ruled that the church was running an eksternat, an external/home schooling programme.
I agree with you on this...
Sorry, but I disagree, Russia is evil, it's KGB dictator is evil, and America is good, our temporary president from the opposition party can be overcome in 2016.
When have the Russian people been good?
When have the Russian people and the Orthodox church, ever inspired the world, not conquered them, inspired them?
