After they just passed a law forbidding evangelism and proselyting.
I think that law was past because of the proselyting for Islam,which has caused a kinds of problems in Russia. I know the Evangelical Christians are going to get hit, but I think it was set up to go after the Muslims.
Their law was designed to target Islam. The law is selectively enforced.
They have ONE Christian church only-—One true Faith-—and the government (State) will be in partnership with that established Orthodox “church”......LOL——we know what communism/top-down totalitarianism is all about.....Mind Control of the Masses. A vast brainwashing system of totalitarianism (slavery).
Christianity is about FREE WILL (Choice)-—it is a concept created ONLY by true Christianity which promotes TRUE FREEDOM of the Mind.
Hint: Jesus is a POLITICAL person as much as a religious person. EVERY idea is based on FAITH and all ideas are POLITICAL-—ALL OF THEM. Humans are “political animals” (Aristotle). You can’t separate Faith and Reason ever, or Politics and Religion from a people, EVER. It is dehumanization to do it—even to a degree. Truth can only exist with Freedom and without Truth, there is no Freedom.
But you can and SHOULD separate an establishment of a Church by the State (Theocracy)-—and give people the FREEDOM to CHOOSE which is a fundamental God-Given Right (in Christianity ONLY—which is the ONLY religion which embraces Natural Law Theory (Objective Truth/Science).
Subsidiarity (family/basic unit of political control which is truly Christian (Catholic)) has parents choosing the education of their OWN children, making decisions for their own children, since Natural Duty is ESSENTIAL to FREEDOM and promoting truth, morality and Reality (Natural Laws).
—when the State takes over the family (Reality) and destroys Free Will (indivdiualism) for the forced Collective (for communism), they are FORCING (enslaving) the people to “think” inside one box (Mind Control).
Chrisitanity is about Freedom to Choose (critical thinking is only possible with understanding Natural Law/Classical Education)/Wisdom of the Ages)-—and Marxism is totalitarianism (slavery only/group-think only/One Worldview allowed only (serfdom).
So, for a truly Christian nation, one has to be based on subsidiarity and freedom. ( bottom up system of politics). Top Down NEVER works-—is always corrupt and fascism (like Common Core/Obamacare which are Marxist systems of brainwashing and unconstitutional).
