Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the West, including the United States, for eschewing Christian values and opting instead for a “path to degradation.”
In his State of the Nation speech last month, Putin asserted that, “Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values… Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan.” Russia has adopted new laws that ban homosexual propaganda and criminalizes the insulting of religious sensibilities.
The law on religious sensibilities was approved in the wake of a protest in Moscow’s largest cathedral by a female punk rock group, Pussy Riot. State-run television said the group’s “demonic” protest was funded by “some Americans.” Russia’s newfound embrace of traditional values has prompted a rise in Orthodox vigilantism. Extreme groups such as the Union of Orthodox Banner Bearers, an ultraconservative faction who adopted a slogan “Orthodoxy or Death,” are gaining prominence.
It was not that long ago that the United States was accusing Russia for being a “godless nation.” On March 8, 1983, Ronald Reagan said this about Russia to an audience of evangelicals:
Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness–pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the Earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

Stalin was a Christian???? No, Putin— he was a psychopathic murdering thief informant for the Tsar’s Okhrana secret police.
The Russian Orthodox church performed as secret police informers to the Tsar and then Lenin and Stalin. This is a fact. Just as Hitler would have no other God but himself and the State.
A very important read through all of Putin’s BS— is the purported proposed meeting of the Jesuit pope Francis with the Primate of the Russian Orthodox church to discuss property seized by the Roman Catholic Church during the fall of the Soviet Union. Nice group the Roman Church.
Remember when Russia was the seat of Atheism and the United States was the symbol of Christian Values?
The world has turned upside down.
Quite a few Rump Rangers are on his payroll in State Security. The STATE does not care about morals— only power. So, keep that in mind.
Not all of America is godless Putin... but if you want to come over here and slay the godless there’s plenty here. Just look for the rainbow fags,,,er I meant flags, the MSM oulets that support them, and the entire WH and its occupants. If that’s not enough if a snack, there’s Congressional Hall which is just a hop, skip, and jump away. You’ll find plenty of pigs and turkeys there.
Note : You’ll have to beat ISIS thought. And don’t worry about trying to sneak your forces in. There’s about 1100 miles of wife open space south of the border that Obama has kept wide open for illegals to come and Cloward-Piven us with. So by all means the border’s open and just don’t forget to clean up when you’re through.
In any event, Putin just said what everyone, including the pro gay crowd, already know.
I don't think many people would say we are more religious now after the SCOTUS case to allow gay marriage.
He is correct.
That was because of their communism. Well now we have our capitalists wanting to excise social issues from money issues. And our Supreme Country separating Church and State with same sex marriage. 'Godless capitalism'?
Gay boy twinkie alert. “My, he sounds TALL” Thanks, Mark L!
This coming from RUSSIA KGB agent officer HELLO
That tell you a lot how fallen this country is
When bakers and florists are being put out of business for being Christians it is hard to argue his observations.
Pray America is waking
The point isn’t if Putin said was valid or not, but rather who the hell needs to hear his opinion? The guy is our enemy. We don’t need his advise, as if we could trust a thing the KGBer says anyway.
These “errors” and the movements promoting them, were all formed and spread by Putin’s former employer, the Soviet Union.
There.
Fixed...
Oh please. It was the KGB, Putin and his ilk who started all of this by undermining our country going back to the 1950's and even before that.
Now, you think that he wants to clean this mess up?
Putin, for the KGB, should apologize for the mess that they made.
That was for the Putin butt kissers on this site who worship the ‘former’ KGB thug.
Somebody here remembers.
Between dumping the Constitution and God, we are in deep dodo.
Exactly!
