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.

    The neat thing about your statement is that it works both ways, canceling itself out with its own “logic”.

    One random Christian says yes.
    One random Christian says no.

    “Patriarch” is a social construct, everyone is “just a guy”. I do not revere a Christian more or less because they dress up like a wizard.

      Yeah! But…what if my Gandalf cosplay is like really good tho? 👉👈

      For real though, these fancy costumes and performative piety should not impress a follow of Jesus. It should disturb them.
