Homosexuals and the Russian Orthodox Church
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 2:14 am
I think this article is of importance in order to understand what the Russian Orthodox church is actually teaching and how they support the Russian Governement in its grotesque politics:

Facts are that homosexual activities are not illegal in Russia. However you are not allowed to explicitly state that you are a homosexual and demonstrate for the rights of homosexuals. So it is simply speaking illegal in public. Doctors, preachers or whoever are not allowed to acknowledge the need to help anyone struggeling with the abuse that has been caused to them because of their homosexuality. Some homosexuals are beaten, tortured, stripped naked and exposed on the internet while people cover their faces in piss and laugh at them. The police accepts this kind of activity as does the government. As a consequence very few people support these victims, and some of them are driven to suicide.
It is in this context that the head of this (perhaps so-called) church even goes on to blame homosexual activities for the rise of ISIS. While he is completely failing his own responsibility (Love is the fullfilment of the law and he supports those who allow for hate and torture) he calls ISIS "honest" Muslims and talks generally more in favour of radicalised Muslims than secular society. Basically he seems to be more conserned with sexual activities than the killing of women, children and completely innocent people. He is so opposed to the "Godless" that he appears to think that any kind of God-driven activity is better. Of course he is allowed to think homosexual activities are wrong. However, his obligation is to love and help those in need, even if they are homosexuals. Basically he supports and works as ideological foundation for a government that allows for pain, torture and killing of homosexuals.
Perhaps you may find this documentary interesting too (if you can stand watching it): https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/youn ... ength-vice
