The words of the text were never spoken in the church.
And you know for sure what has been spoken in the church? Evidence please.Tape? But even that does not matter because the words are on YouTube making people to THINK that they are spoken in church.
So it should only be legal to pray in church if you believe in prayer? Thoughtcrime, in other words?
And you know for sure what has been spoken in the church? Evidence please.Tape?
But even that does not matter because the words are on YouTube making people to THINK that they are spoken in church.
This would also have been true if they had used stock footage of the church and mixed the clip in a server room in Vladivostok, without ever coming within half a continent of the church in question.
But then, we already did establish that you demand the right to sue people for uploading YouTube videos you don't like.
Well, you can fuck off to Iran or North Korea with that sentiment, because it doesn't belong in Europe.
Actually, I take that back. It doesn't belong in North Korea or Iran either.
You do not have to prey in church if you are tourist non believer visiting it as a historical place. But it is a matter of respect not to go against the rule of the place you are visiting.
Well, newsflash: Respect is earned by acting respectably. And the Russian Orthodox Church hasn't earned any.
And if you hate religion that much why would you even care to enter the church? For the protest?
But I also happen to like choir music, Gothic architecture and medieval history.
What I feel about religion generally (mild bemusement) or the Orthodox Church in particular (that it is a pox upon Russian society and in dire need of the Atatürk treatment) really has nothing to do with it.
Try to insult some Union the way they insulted believers and tell us what happened.
Unless you want to claim that Pussy Riot's insults were garnished with extra special sauce that makes them a doubleplusungood form of thoughtcrime.
