your posts in 7 and 10, are excellent !!!!
(10 would be worthy of a separate vanity.)
...and yes, Communism never succeeding in turning the common Russian into an atheist.
individually, they are very moral, very good people.
they are not just anti-gay, they also generally know Islam is truly evil. While we are busy using tax dollars to HELP build mosques in Boston and Tennessee, and the largest mosque in Europe is in Rome, the Russians are forbidden them in Moscow. (Moscow has like a million muslims, and 2 mosques...)
and as per your #10, the Russian become more free and and free-market, as we go the opposite way... a society based on Christian moral law, succeeds.
People are incredible and there will always be good people. It is just hard to face the mob mentality....reading about Bonhoeffer....it takes great courage and humility to face the forces of evil government. And government, as the Founders stated is a “necessary evil” and it has to be restrained which ours isn’t anymore.
....there are too many people who are not speaking up in the face of evil, in our government, in our courts, in our institutions.....all designed by cultural Marxists to destroy Christian morality, the bedrock of America—and silence us with Political Correctness-—
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” Bonhoeffer
