    You never told anyone where religion was officially illegal so drop it, you're way off course and can't prove religion was official illegal. Period.

    I'm done, I'll be patiently waiting for you to show me where it was officially illegal.

    I apologize. I've been wrestling with frozen water pipes all day and was in a rather foul mood.

    Like a moth to a flame.

    The Soviets' official religious stance was one of "religious freedom or tolerance", though the state established atheism as the only scientific truth.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Criticism of atheism or the state's anti-religious policies was forbidden and could lead to forced retirement, arrest and/or imprisonment.

    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. I'll only add one small thing. The USSR may be defunct, but socialist policies they held are alive and well in the U.S. today. So it is somewhat germane to the subject.

    I might be wrong but i think that people who really lived under Soviet rule would maybe have another opinion on that.

    Living at these latitudes it is very familiar to have a frozen water pipes.
    I know what helps: beer. Doesn't melt the pipes but after having few beers life feels much better

    Thanks for clarifying, now I understand what you are talking about. I would argue that these people are not true Christians and do not speak for Orthodox Christianity. It's appauling what these people do and they are NOT Christians.

    There are even scarier ones, like the most militant members of Dominion Theology.

    What they are doing is the opposite of what the Bible tells us over and over again: love God and love your brother in humanity.

    Well, let's call it "Soviet Lite".

    Just sat down to a good meal and a cup of Hot Chocolate. I feel much better now, thanks.

    A couple of quick points,,,

    One please don't refer to Right Winger's as Christians some of us are far from Christian...

    Two why is it that with Islam and Christianity every single time somebody says that these religions have "hate" problems ie: Westboro Baptist, Jihadists... we hear instantaneously that these "people" are not true Christians/Muslims???????????? I think both religions should have to do SERIOUS re-writes to their "Holy Books" so there can be no Kill, Kill, Hurt, Hurt, interpretations possible, and if they don't, they no longer are tax exempt...

    In the old Soviet Union and in China today I don't believe that either one had/have actual laws written that make religion illegal...

    However you don't want to be Proselytizing in either place... which honestly I do believe should be illegal


    I don't see any problem with any religion until they decide that everyone needs to join in... There, I am out to destroy religion Muhahahahaha
