You equate Putin with Obama in terms of Christianity? Sorry, doesn’t wash. Putin speaks out against homosex, and gay preying on kids. Obama is trying to push homosex on the world. That difference right there is all I need to know.
Putin grew up in the Soviet Union and left the KGB as a Lieutenant Colonel, having served 16 years. He didn't last 16 years in the KGB and espouse Christianity, else wise, he would have spent a long time in Siberia, not East Germany, liasing with the Stasi! Putin is a nationalist first and foremost. The question is, is the nation Russia or a reconstituted USSR! Only Vlad knows for sure. He continues to support the Russian Orthodox church, as his power base. The moment they disagree with him in public, he'll dump them like 0.00 dumped 'Reverend' Wright!
The KGB ran the Moscow Patriarchate. Patriarch Alexius II operated as an agent of the KGB/FSB, code named 'Drozdov' and the CURRENT Patriarch, Kirill I was and most likely still is an agent of the KGB/FSB, code named 'Mikhailov'. Who was it that recruited US Army Colonel George Trofimoff into the KGB? None other than Bishop Iriney of the Russian Orthodox church (ROc)! His name before entering the church was Igor Susemihl, Trofimoff's foster brother, an agent of the KGB. The KGB/FSB and the ROc is inseparable.
I hate to burst your bubble but the world is not just black and white. It is not '0.00 Bad' and 'Putin Good', there are shades of gray and the difference between 0.00 and Putin is minimal, like the difference between bull manure and chicken manure. Both are manure and we know which end of the animal they come from. I'll let you decide who the bull is and who the chicken is!
One last question, if Allen West were President, would you still consider Putin a 'good guy'?
