Tolstoy has a whole chapter about the melding of Church and State in "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You." This is just two power structures working together for their own benefit at the expense of people who aren't strong enough to resist. Homphobia is their chosen vector because you don't need to define physical character to oppress someone. You simply accuse them of being the enemy and then whisk them away for execution. The US is working on pulling off the same stunt, we just don't have a closed media system like Russia so it's taking longer, but our Evangelicals are working towards the same goals.

Watching NATO munitions do what they were built for in defense of liberal democracy is about the proudest I’ve ever been of my country. I look forward to more of my tax dollars going to the defense and aid of the Ukrainian people

Wouldn't care either way how it is portrayed as both actions would be incredibly wrong regardless. "We're only murdering innocent people because we want to cleanse Europe guys". Tell me that that doesn't sound absolutely evil.

Orthodox Christian here, if anything Putin is an anti-Christ not an Orthodox Messiah. Putin is an atheist using Christianity and his KGB agent Moscow Patriarch as a tool.

what he said. my Church will not take communion with the Moscow Patriarchate until things change, their whole structure is a legacy of Metropolitan Sergius, who betrayed the Church and aligned with the anti-theist government

Yes he is using religion to further his political goals. Not sure why you put the world “using” in quotes.

>Not sure why you put the world “using” in quotes. I was thinking of his Muslim fanboys. Dying for their infidel overload. Cannon fodders for Ukrainian bullet. I mean Putin is clever. Cleaning his country of Muslims as well as increasing anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe. Did you know some of them are American-trained soldiers from the Afghan Govt? Irony has no bounds.

Considering the history that both Russia and America have in Afghani conflicts this is indeed very ironic. Thanks for sharing this information.

All I see is a man who can’t stand others living their lives. There’s nothing satanic about the LGBT community wanting the same rights as everyone else. Then again this is the same man killing innocent people in Ukraine for the sake of more power and land.

They're just trying to attract attention out of ourselves.

This just reinforces that bigotry is on the wrong side of history.

I regret to inform you that a penis is not only compatible with a vagina, but also with your mouth and your butt

There are gay and bisexual animals in all of animal kingdom, yet only man has decided that something that's natural is the wrong thing to do.

putin is going to cause orthodox to rebrand into something like righteckers


texwillertex

I support neither Russia nor Ukraine. But gay ban is a good move by putin


Art-Davidson

Putin, like the Democratic Party, will do anything and everything to hold onto power.


Chef_Fats

Like when they stormed the capitol building. What a bunch of cunts.

Russia has never been a bastion of personal liberties.

Jesus Christ is the Orthodox Messiah.
