Doubt it, what with him being a nutter

I dont think.we can read much into that.Many wars throughout history have been predicated upon religion.

Read up in the Crusades for starters

If he's about to caulk it as some reports suggest, he might be. He wouldn't be the first to "get" religious near the end.

WeAreTheHeroes · 06/01/2023 12:08

Really? He has some sealing to do? Think you mean cark it, but it made me laugh.

He's just keeping the orthodox Russians and the Patriarch onside. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Yes. He's really religious.

He believes and follows
The 10
Commandments. Particularly the ones about killing, stealing and coveting

And Patriarch Kirill isn't an ex KGB billionaire.

Honest guv

I suppose it's no different from the Taliban or ISIS claiming to be religious men. They're all murdering scum and if their God does exist, let's hope they all rot in hell for all eternity

So many wars are based on religion or are started by religious nutters.

Funny that, a nutter who believes in an imaginary sky fairy.

Religion and faith are two different things. If Putin really believed in Jesus, he would not do the things he has done.

Extreme Muslims believe in god Hmm

So do the Mafia, go figure.

Bad people sometimes follow religion too.

Fairly certain Hitler considered himself a Christian.

Declaring you follow a religion isn't the same as abiding by its principles and living true to the faith.

I'm not religious, but appreciate there's a massive difference between someone who says they're religious vs the ones who live as good and faithful a life according to their faith as possible. The latter are the ones I've time for.
