The Ukrainian government has declared that a branch of the Orthodox Church has failed to sever all ties with Moscow — and could soon be banned.

    It is sad and tragic that a once respectable and influential religious group steeped in culture and history, became a lackey of Kremlin.

      And fuck organized religion. It’s all just cults of various flavours stacked upon each other to prey on people.

    Banning churches is a big step to becoming a very good country.

      The moscow patriarchate is not a church. It’s an extension of the russian state.

      Why would you not ban an institution that is opposed to the independence of your country and believes your country should be ruled by Moscow?

        Yeah, I don’t disagree. I guess you thought I was being sarcastic? I was being straightforward.

            Actually, I’ll take that bad. I didn’t realize how ambiguous my comment was until I read it again

      they’re not banning it because it’s a church but because they’re Kremlinites

        I know but it’s more fun for me to imagine it the other way.

          banning religions never goes well. ask the Ukrainians who survived the Soviet gulags and purges

              the genocide victims of the USSR very much did not rule the world. when your edgy atheist persona takes over the critical thinking part of your brain maybe that’s a sign to stop doing that
