Phoney Christian? I think you have him mixed up with the current occupant of the White House, whom is about as anti—hristian as a leader can be. What policies has zerO instituted that advanced the cause of Christian morals & society? Yet, ”phoney” Putin established a 100 year law to try & protect Russian children from the perversion of homosexuality. He also instituted a policy of paying young families the equivalent of $20,000 for every second child born, which results in much fewer abortions & increases much needed Russian populace. SI suggest you watch the following video. Perhaps you’ll learn something re: Putin Christianity: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u3d_yxJhmjk
The realization that Obama is hostile to Christianity does not make me believe any of Putin’s claptrap about Christianity. He did serve his atheist masters in the communist party for over 16 years, not as some indifferent paper pusher either. He was a KGB Colonel. He put people in jail and he spied on people in Dresden, Germany. He has since acquire $75 billion, making probably the richest man in the world. Perhaps being that wealthy is a Christian trait, but not as I know the teachings of Jesus. His girlfriend might tell us a thing or two about how devout he is, as long as his wife doesn’t mind. He does pursue positions hostile to all Christian churches, except his own, the one he has corrupted. He’s as clear an autocrat as there is today outside of Africa and the third world. Maybe you want a theocracy ruled in Putin’s favor, but I don’t. In fact, I’d never force my religion on anyone knowing that sincere belief comes from true conviction and not coerced, statist, Putinista force.
