As a whole, Russians don't value liberty, they don't value freedom, and they don't value democratic principles.

70 years of atheist humanist communism wreaked havoc on Russia. The collapse of the Soviet Union brought a time of Russian circumspection. Russian leadership plotted a course back to their Christian heritage. I would argue that they are like us in that they value Economic freedom and individual liberty yes. Liberty to prey on kids, no. Regarding Democratic principles, Perhaps our western view won’t work in Russia. It’s a rough neighborhood! Heck, I’m not sure it’s working in the USA! Our forefathers said democracies can only work when men a governed internally. Additionally, when Jesus Christ returns, we will live in a benevolent Dictatorship. Is Putin a thug? Yes! Let’s say he is a thug. A thug who protects children, restrains LGBTQI supremacy, and protects Christianity. Strange world we live in!

“Additionally, when Jesus Christ returns, we will live in a benevolent Dictatorship.”

Some people have a difficult problem grasping this. Many worship at the altar of democracy. This seems to be one of many GWB flaws.

What do they expect? In heaven, we are going to have elections and replace Peter with Moses, for four years?

My Nazi friend, this is the stupidest defense I've heard to justify your authoritarianism.

We in the USA live under a Constitution because we've recognized that mankind can't be governed without checks and balances to protect our fundamental liberties--which are given by God!

When Christ rules we'll know which religion is true, what's-what and hows-that. In the meantime, we don't setup state religions, outlaw Gospel preaching from denominations we don't like, tearing down their churches and ruining their lives. We don't celebrate Putin systematically robbing millions of Russian people just to become one of the richest men in the world whose never had a real job. We don't sit there and equivocate on whether he's a "thug" (a soft word) or a psychoctic, disgusting murderer who puts bullets in the back of a woman's head (on his birthday!) because she wrote an investigatory series in the news about the time Putin blew up apartment blocs just to get brownie points to start a war to "protecting Russian children" by killing a quarter to a half a million people in Chechnya.

You sit here ranting about how hard Putin is making life for the gays, I guess because you assume we share in your sadistic obsessions and fantasies about stoning homosexuals and witches to death, hoping to lure FReepers who share your obsessions into handwaving away a ton of inconvenient facts about your "Christian Russia" narrative. But I think real Christians on this forum aren't so dumb and spiritually blind to fall for your infantile hate mongering and appeals.
