Me too

How about leaving these nasty sideways of the Soviet and get back to the original question

And by the way, the Left in the U.S. is almost the exact opposite of Christianity.

Nice try, ultra right winger bait tactics don't work with me. We are discussing the legality of Religion in the USSR. It was and still is that simple. It was not illegal to practice Religion.

And you're quite welcome, I don't mind protecting your freedom to speak any way you like about anything you like

Did you read the wiki link? I guess not.

If you actually practiced Christianity you would be speaking out against the state which was illegal. Hence, Christianity was illegal. Make sense?

I wasn't trying to bait anyone. Just speaking the truth.

Sure did, from your wiki link: "Holding of a religion was never outlawed and the Soviet Constitutions always guaranteed the right to believe."

Does it state anywhere that it was officially illegal to practice religion?

Still.. "Holding of a religion was never outlawed and the Soviet Constitutions always guaranteed the right to believe."

Like arguing with a wall, it was never the official legal stance of the USSR to outlaw religion.

Enough, done, finito...

You're argument is crap. They could say all day long that it was legal, but they did not treat it that way. The constitution could say anything it wanted, but if there were negative consequences by the government towards Christians it wasn't really legal was it?

Like arguing with a wall.

You quit because you know you are wrong.

Gentlemen.... please. From one dead horse beater to two others.

This is not even germane to the topic at hand. The USSR is defunct, and there are no lingering sects that "threaten Christianity". Your argument is moot.

Now, "on with the chlorophyll."

O.K. O.K. I'll switch to decaf and stand down.
