Ghost to ats " no, we are better than you"
I never said I was better than anyone else, or my position more superior. I merely pointed out that his information is based off of drawn out fallacies that have been disproved over and over again, and in some cases, blazingly obvious.
It would take literally seconds to discover all the quotes from the founding fathers who directly state how perverse religion is to society. The fact that people still claim America was build on Christian foundations is mind boggling.
Just because someone points out flaws in someone's position, doesn't mean their trying to boost their own image.

And the reply by those who are sucked in to this arrogance
"We love Putin or we love atheism"
It has nothing to do with atheism. He spouted inaccurate information, and that inaccurate information deserves to be shown to be inaccurate.

He should shut up about religion and start looking towards defending the LGBT community in Russia.
Backward folks over there man.
Still rife with abuse, violence and degradation.

The way my government along with the USA and others has sought to destabilise the Middle East is beyond forgiveness.
And yet the ME has been destabilized for longer than the US has been a country, but hey let's just blame them for it since it's easier than looking at the problem itself.
Everyone knows that the CIA used secret time travel technology back engineered from the saucer recovered from Roswell to travel back in time to murder Ali.
I think we can look to the fact the USA made their currency the only currency used for trading oil, control, greed
Unlike the US no abuse, violence or degradation, heaven on earth

Once again, Mr Putin is on point and showing his true leadership skills by pointing out the absolute and uncomfortable truth.
I completely agree with him - the reason the west has gotten to this not very good place is because the rights (and beliefs) of the majority have been trampled over to pander to minorities.
He rightly points out that minorities have the right to exist, but must work with and have mutual respect for the majority. He makes mention of homosexuality and while I advocate we have the right to exist and live a safe and peaceful life, I want the heterosexual and christian community to remain strong and proud, because we come from within your ranks.
If we are to retain our cultural identity and our way of life we need a return to sensible morality that puts family and our western heritage first.

Prostitution is an honorable profession in Russia. They have TV reality shows on how to get a millionaire to be your sugar daddy. Much, much more degradation in Russia.
Do we really need to bring up how the founding fathers of the US were almost exclusively ANTI-CHRISTIAN/ANTI-RELIGION? Seriously?
Genesis 1:27King James Version (KJV) 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Can someone point to where being gay is wrong in the bible, or where the state recognizing a gay marriage is wrong in the bible?. To be quite honest is any couple gay or straight really married in the bible sense if they did not get married by a church?

The bible does teach that homosexuality is a sin, as with many other things, lying, looking at a friends wife lustfully, there are plenty.
As for the state, the NT part of the bible does not say that its wrong for the state to make laws, it says Christians are not to sin.
Marriage is a state/legal issue, its spiritual to the christian, its legality to the state
