At least somebody is fighting to keep the few remaining Christians alive.
If 20 years ago, you would have told me Russia was protecting Christians, and the US was killing them on every Continent, I would have laughed.
But, here we are.

If, 30 years ago, you would have told me that the USA was promoting the use of torture, and that self-described Christians were the biggest promoters of all, I would have laughed.
Reality holds surprises for us all.
You really gotta be fucked in the head to believe such shit.
And Russias goverment allying with the Russian orthodox church? No surprize there, the absolute control thing was adopted from said church in the first place, at least communism added higher education and universal health care to the mix.
I also don't believe it to be a good thing in anyway, it's like a shadow theocracy, too much like the Southern states goverments, we can only hope Putin's playing the church and not the other way around. Wanna see the cold war heat up and boil over? Put the church in charge and you will.
This whole thing may in fact be Russia reaching out to the American Bible Belt, want a bigoted, racist, controlling theocracy Texas? You know you do and you find yourself agreeing with any govermental body that moves that far.
"... the few remaining Christians ..."
In the U.S., Christians -- Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox -- make up about 80% of the population. Christians make up about a third of the world population.
But then "ason Priestley" probably means "true Christians", which includes only self-identified Christians who completely agree with him on everything. That's a far smaller number, maybe 1.
"But, here we are."
I know. A scene at 2012's celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee (I refer you to the woman's hijab ; the fact that our Queen is the Head of the Protestant Church of England. Defender of that faith, and all that jazz):

Ain't the irony a real pisser, eh Jase?! >:D
"...I would have laughed."
Good job that that never happened. I think laughing is probably sinful. except for the occasion of herp-a-derping and lolful sneering.
But, here we are, po-faced as ever.
> But, here we are. <
Yes, Here we sit,
Broken hearted...

Are you insane?
He's a Xtian, and a fundy at that. You have to ask? Batshit nuts and proud of it.
Considering Christianity is about a third of the world population, and about 80% of the U.S. population...
That would be a big fat...

It sounds almost as if you don't actually realize that over 2 billion people worldwide are Christian, making it the world's largest religion.
I guess if you don't count the Catholics, it seems much smaller to you.
Please, I beg you, MOVE TO RUSSIA. I swear, I'm going to set up a "help fundies escape USA" charity.
At least somebody is fighting to keep the few remaining Christians alive.
THE HELL?! THIS PLANET IS CRAWLING WITH CHRISTIANS!

SHUT UP, PERSECUTION-FACE!
@Mad_Jester:
Yes indeedy, here we are. As long as "here" means "so far from reality that one couldn't hit it with a sniper rifle from this distance".
A sniper rifle? They're so far from reality that even using an ICBM they'd be about as likely to hit reality as a kid with a slingshot would be to shoot down the Moon....
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
