>>The Russians didn’t bulldoze their cathedrals even at the peak of their power<<

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.

LOL, I never denied that the Communists have gone after Christians. But to say that they wiped out Christianity, is a stretch. The Orthodox Church still exists, and has large congregations in Russia.

About the Slovaks and the other minorities, the Russians didn’t need their religion to try and exterminate them. They were just as bad with the Ukrainians, the Kazakh, and others, religious or not.

You haven’t clarified what the point of comparing Communism’s position on Christianity is all about.
