Abortion and Population

[Ahriman]

Putin is using religion to help him in his bloodthirsty cause. Besides, what was Tzar in Russia if not god appointed leader.

There's a couple of points here:

1) Using religion as a "justification" is, from the Russian perspective, a very minor thing. This war is much more about "Make Russia Great Again" followed by the false allegations of Ukrainian naziism. Calling this a "religious" war is misleading.

2) There's a difference between wanting to reconstruct Tsarist Russia's geography and  Putin wanting to be  a Tsar or believing himself to be appointed by god.

When we're criticizing religion, there's enough true stuff to go on that gilding the lily like this makes it appear as if the case is weak. There's no need to exaggerate anything -- the truth is horrific enough.

That's how I feel about life in general......
