Kirill added that this "does not mean that we should sit by idly".
"On the contrary, our earthly mission is to be the Lord's soldiers ... to resist evil and defend high moral ideals. This is the goal setting in Russia," he said.
All of the abrahamic religions are. It could probably be argued that Hinduism is as well, at least historically, as far as the caste system basis and such. Not sure what modern Hindu beliefs are whatsoever tho.
I’m pretty sure y’all are in fact ordered to take care of it and serve as good stewards of it. Also I seem to recall a rule against killing, and a guy advocating peace among all people
You should have the right to believe and worship whatever you want, but this attitude of "oh if the world ends it's God's plan" is so fucking shitty. Maybe try to fix the world and work with what we have instead of putting all your eggs in the basket of "at least we have heaven after". For those who don't subscribe to your particular brand of comforting lies, we want to take care of the world we have, not piss it away thinking it's the free trial edition of life.
Holy shit, it's shareware from way back when. Free to try, but do a ritual and pay us a tithe when you're ready to really commit and until then please still share us with all your friends. It's free, after all!
Empty words. Not only they don't belive in their god, but also such a god, if existed, would hardly be happy of destruction of the world he created. So, if there are different sorts of hell, those who are responsible of world destruction would go to the worst sort of it.
Ok, but they should logically be afraid of causing it. The only reason not to be afraid of the end of the world is if you're going to the good afterlife.
Russia must be close to collapsing for them to be saying this sort of thing. Remember, nukes require all sorts of expensive things to work. Things that get stolen or scammed in a kleptocracy like Russia. Putin cannot depend on real knowledge of his arsenals readiness. Lots if not most all of his nukes won’t work. But almost all of the West’s will. Does even a crazy man risk it under this situation?
