Putin: America Is Godless, Has Turned Away from Christian Values
Breitbart ^ | 06/29/15

Posted on 06/30/2015 8:10:22 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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.

A KGB colonel should be quite familiar with secularism.

I don’t think many Christians would disagree with him.

How far we have fallen from being the shining city on a hill.

We have fallen so far that a despotic former KGB officer is morally looking down at us.

The Kremlin’s Troll Army: Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters:

A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

They do this in an attempt to pull in folks from the anti-Obama crowd. A sneaky attempt to add credibility to their pro-Russia, pro-Putin BS. Yet it seems to work on some of us! In reality, Obama is the best thing that has happened to Russia in quite some time.

No, many good Christians here have said it.

We don't need this KGB False Prophet to say it.

Catholic Churches need to pray after masses for the conversion of America.

If 50 states voted for homo marriage, I would agree. However, NONE voted for it.

Putin is just pulling your strings.

If he keeps this up he'll be polling just behind Trump in the GOP Primary field.

**************
And the worst is yet to come. Things are rapidly deteriorating. In many respects the fears of the Tea Party movement are developing right before our eyes. The only question is how far we will fall before people finally decide they have had enough.
