Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church has said that there is no need to stir up fear around nuclear weapons, as Christians are not afraid of the end of the world.

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.

    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!

      They dont relate responsibility and dominion. They think having dominion of something means you dont have to take care of it.
