What nonsense! The Russians didn't bulldoze their cathedrals even at the peak of their power. Forget that, the Soviet people were believers, who managed to retain their faith to this day.

That aside, please reiterate what the whole point regarding Communists propping up Christians is all about.

That's Putin, and it's not a sickle-and-hammer dangling under his neck.

Holy Crap dude. Get a clue.
You apparently never talked to a person who lived under Communism. Of course they didn’t bulldoze churches. They used them to weed out the Christians. Show up on Sunday, name go in book, now try to get a job or have your kids go to college. Gone. There is a lot more that “deaths” related to communism.

Look, I belong to a Slovak parish. Many of those people including our Pastor lived under communism. If you think that a cross hanging around Putin’s neck negates all their life experience, you must think Madonna is a virgin.

What a stupid picture as proof of anything.

Well, what proof is there that God exists? E=MC2 perhaps?

Anyway, Man attempting to comprehend the Divine is like explaining inflight meals to a fish, or the parable of the 8 blind men encountering an elephant.

Anyway, theology discussions make me giggle, make my eyes red and give me the munchies.
