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.

If you like wiki, then look at this one....
Putin makes the Mexicans look like cub scouts.
“...Its a shame that so many people don’t know the history of ...”
And in the age of the Internet, there’s no excuse for NOT knowing history.
These trolls are demonic in their mission to prop KGB Putin, mixing lies with the truth. Bad thing is, it works on some of us! They just can’t see through it. Or they know next to nothing about how Russia and the KGB/FSB operates.
Bravo!
We need our own ping list. They apparently have one. Question remains, though, why are they allowed to stay on here?
What scratches my head is, of all the topics that justified Zottings in the past, why is KGB propaganda allowed here, in so much volume and frequency?
Sinners more foul than Putin have found Christ, so I’m just going to pray that he does.
Got me. I hope it’s not what I’m wondering...
Putin is a thug autocrat in the vein of a Peter the Great or other “enlightened” monarch, but he is absolutely right about the US losing its moral compass.

Say no more...I think I know exactly what you are thinking.
But now, with all that's been done here and truly fundamental change happening so rapidly, especially after last week, I do see how what I've read could happen, because it IS happening.
Fwiw, here is one example:
Prophecy On Russia
December 13, 1993
And another, this message written before that one:
Silence Is The Best Weapon After Prayer
Russia Shall Openly Hold My Name Holy
August 30, 1991
“Russia has adopted new laws that ban homosexual propaganda and criminalizes the insulting of religious sensibilities.”
We founded a nation based and grounded on the principles of Christianity. We made laws and a Constitution based on Christian values and; for centuries, we upheld them with the full force of our court systems and law enforcement. It was as near to being a theocracy as you can get without actually being one. It made us the greatest nation on earth. You can’t have a functioning society without G-d’s laws and people who enforce them. All who have endeavored to leave out the basic laws of The Almighty have fallen to ruin just as we’re about to do.
A Christian nation must have the will to enforce Christian based laws or it will become something else. We no longer do because we didn’t have the will to stand against the lust of society. It can’t be denied that a Christian nation that upholds and enforces Christian laws is a theocracy and we have abhored that idea, all the while moaning and crying because, as Obama said, we are no longer a Christian nation. The fact is; either Christians will be oppressed and imprisoned or Satan’s own will. There’s no two ways about it.
Yes, but who needs to hear it from him or his trolls? It's like a child molester gaining kids' trust by giving them candy.
Putin is correct on this one.
...and America will pay the price that every empire has paid when it walks away from God. TOTALITARIAN FASCISM
Are you a Log Cabin Republican???
Why are you using known Leftist words like
“hate Obama” ??????
I’m surprised you have not said this article from Breitbart is racist?
This came from Breitbart News dip$hit! Hardly a Left Wing source.
What dare you saying America is more religious after the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage? Heck even both sides of this issue will tell you it’s less.
Looks like Putin got your panties in a wad.
LOL! Priceless.....
Freepers aren’t children.
I think the issue is that our government is becoming more atheistic and hostile to religion. In that, Putin is correct. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. In this, he is a broken clock, but he speaks truth nonetheless.
I know he is Thug, but like you said he is correct.
Allowing Gay Marriage does not make us more religious.
“OK, I started collecting names of Freepers who have national pride and will stand and keep fighting.

It was my impression that this is a discussion forum, not a first grade elementary school class.
Put me on the list that says for you to pound sand.
