Again to Russia. I was in Moscow when the major decreed all business should decorate for Christmas. Got to love that authoritarian streak and the crass commercialism BUT the contrast to my own country was still sad.

Maybe China and Russia can appreciate what they were denied for so long.

As much as I believe in and support Christianity, I do not want the government telling people to go to church or to decorate their businesses with religious themes, as you describe in Putin's Russia. Plus I see Putin's embrace of Christianity as insincere. I believe it's done to support his Russian chauvinism. That's not the spirit of Christ as I understand it.

I also want to add that the state has no business supporting the gay agenda, nor does the state have any business hounding those who sin as homosexuals do. I am, like I think all FReepers, ashamed that the USA under Obama supports abortion and homosexual marriage abroad.
