Putin needs to find Jesus. He needs to read scripture.
EDIT: This seems like just another online liberal echo chamber! What a joke!
I find it ridiculous how downvoted you got. Of all the major religions Christianity is the one that went through the greatest processes of self-reflection and criticism and while I find most of its institutions still very flawed, it offers a lot of deep and compassionate thought and traditions. Also it actually has excellent philosophers and thinkers that integrate a scientific world view in theirs.
Lemmy is very ridiculous in this regard. People have intense opinions on things they have no deep understanding of. It’s like how MAGA people react to things like gun control or vaccines. They preach tolerance of some things and not others.
The thought of Putin finding Jesus could have led to a funny and weird conversation, and yet you were just met with hate. It’s so sad.

When did this happen? Because I still see a lot of self-righteous hate and bigotry from Christians all over the world.
Ever heard of the age of enlightenment? Holy hell. Also, you can make jokes about Christianity publicly without having to fear for your life. Lots of preachers have problems with their churches and are progressives. What is wrong with you people.
Coming from a country - Portugal - which was very Catholic not that long ago, I would say that the children of Catholic parents went through a great process of “self-reflection and criticism” and dropped Catholicism.
The religion itself is pretty much as backwards as ever.
What happened is that the number of actual practicing Catholics (you know, people who actually go to church and spend time thinking about that stuff) has fallen steeply, even if there are still many who just because they got baptized (which is something one has no choice on), get counted as religious.
Even with the Christian sects dominant in places like the US and Brazil trying to get a foothold over here, there’s nowhere the level of dominance of religion in public life there seems to be in the US. It’s funny that a country which maybe 50 or 60 years ago was, IMHO, very socially backwards compared to the US, is now more socially evolved than it.

Christianity is responsible for the crusades…
Well thanks to Socratic tradition of critical thinking, I’d say that the reason Christianity had self-reflection is precisely because of it. If it so happens that Socrates did not exist or his works weren’t passed down, Western culture would be totally different from the one we know now.
This is a liberal echo chamber but reddit fucked me off.
Anything more neutral? Something with a sense of humour. This are some of the most boring fucks I’ve ever met on the internet. They all got their panties in a twist on their high horse.
But I am left leaning so I don’t want a right wing echo chamber I just want free speech and banter.
There are some “free speech” focused instances of different Activity Pub based platforms. You all can go there. I don’t remember the names of them but I’m sure some other Lemmy user can help you with that.
Yeah, because Christianity isn’t the biggest echo chamber in the history of humanity 🙄
5 day old account using Jesus as an argument for every discussion. Obvious troll is obvious.
You appear to be speaking nonsense words, they all have meaning and some groupings in your comment do too. In its entirety though this comment makes no sense. An echo chamber is a place that many individuals may go to reinforce their views, with other members backing them up and attempting to remove any naysayers or disagreement.
A comment cannot, by definition, be an echo chamber.
Edit: What I find most odd is that your other comments seem to be very sensical. I generally agree with what you have to say, so this is a very strange thing to see you commenting.
Misleading title; the article says that he pulled some troops out of Ukraine.
At the risk of once again offending the people who read this as actually Cyrillic, this calls for another Rukraine post.
Pretty much how I called it a day or two ago. Putin will now have to put more troops on his border with Ukraine permanently. Ukraine can continue to harass those troops. First though putin has to put together a successful attack to stall and repel Ukraine’s advance. Meanwhile the troops already engaged with russias invasion may be able to put enough pressure on what remains to push them back.
