I used to push Poseidon missiles around on the USS Lafayette to protect the free world from the Godless communists of the Soviet Union.
Now, “the United States is no longer a christian nation” and Russia is building chapels into their SSBNs.
Russia has found God, and we’re flocking to feel-good megachurches where you pay for salvation but never talk about sin. I think we have now officially lost the Cold War.
The Soviet Union Lost the Cold War, Russia may win the peace that followed. They have returned to their church and God. This will give them strength and comfort in the hard times to come. I fear the Mega Church—feel good ‘Worship Centers’ will not provide the inner needs when things go south. It is to their credit the Russians found God—would that we follow down this path. Legends say when the people of the west abandon Jesus and Christian Faith—Russia, as the Third Rome, will restore Christ to the west. It may happen.
the Russians are not there yet -- but they are increasingly religious. And i'm talking about the ordinary Russians I meet.
Was there a chaplain aboard Lafayette? I´m curious as to how faith issues were/are addressed. Lay services, etc. Thanks.
A salute to a good man of honor. Well said Sir.
