Russian man on trial for saying there was "no God"

The Russian Orthodox Church sees itself as defending traditional conservative Russian values
A man on trial in southern Russia faces a possible one-year prison sentence for having written "there is no God" during an internet exchange. Viktor Krasnov was reported to police by two young men who objected to his language in the dispute, on the Russian social network VKontakte in 2014. He was charged in Stavropol for having "insulted the feelings of worshippers". Such "insults" were outlawed in 2013 after the Pussy Riot case, in which two punk performers were jailed.

VKontakte is a Facebook-style networking site popular among Russians. In the exchange Mr Krasnov also dismissed the Bible as a "collection of Jewish fairy tales". Linguistic experts supported the plaintiffs' allegation that Mr Krasnov's remarks were "insulting to worshippers". The relevant Russian law provides several alternatives to a one-year prison term in such cases, including a fine of up to 300,000 roubles (£2,900; $4,083) or up to 240 hours' forced labour.

The Commies burned churches and banned religion for decades. This is what happens when the pendulum swings back

God used to make his presence unmistakable. Now he has Russians taking folk to court. Come on God, you're better than this.

Odd. I always thought that the majority of Russians were born with no soul.

Political correctness gone wild. How long will it be before this happens in America? It won't be for offend ones faith, it'll be for offending ones race or sex.

Putin and their Orthodox Church have been in cahoots for a long while... Not unlike the Tsars.
And most of the poli board would vote for fascist Putin as Prez over someone with a D by their name...

No that's not necessarily true. They just want a strong leader that loves his country. Is that so complicated to understand?

Always a good day when pussy riot is in the news.

Not nearly as much as the feminists or BLM crowd.
Did you read the story you linked? A linguist dicides what's inflammatory or not, it wasn't the Church.

a strong leader doesn't feel the need to take time out to defend his dick size during a debate.
