Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1922–1991), there were periods where Soviet authorities suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on State interests.[1] Soviet Marxist-Leninism policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs, and actively encouraged atheism in the Soviet Union.[2] Most religions were never outlawed.[1]

The state advocated the destruction of religion, and it officially pronounced religious beliefs to be superstitious and backward.[3][4] The Communist Party destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, and it introduced a belief system called "scientific atheism," with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers.[5][6] In 1925 the government founded the League of Militant Atheists to intensify the persecution.[7] The total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range between 12-20 million.[8][9][10]

Religious beliefs and practices persisted among the majority of the population,[5] in the domestic and private spheres but also in the scattered public spaces allowed by a state that recognized its failure to eradicate religion and the political dangers of an unrelenting culture war.[3][11]

Sheee-it, denis. We can go for a ten miler any time you're ready. Just this morning I was on my bike and I had this little Asian guy in full spandex with his feet clipped onto the pedals of a road bike go past me because I was lollygagging. I sat right next to him for a mile as he clicked through his gears trying to shake me. Then I started riding a little and pulled away just to ruin his fucking morning. Don't underestimate the fat guys!

I know JORR but couldn't pass up the opportunity to make the joke. I only run two miles at a time. I would do a lot more but it's not sustainable on my lower back and knees. For distance, I rollerblade.

Leash, the whole you shall not kill or steal or grab your neighbor's wife, is a Judeo-Christian thing. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it makes sense to the Communists, atheists or George W. But only until they are in control. And it's definitely not their invention.

poke fun at Denis all you want, but the jokes on you. The rollerblade trails in Busse Woods are known pussy magnets.

I hear one needs to avoid the cars that are backed into parking spots especially for a male on rollerblades!

Yes, great fun to feed the elks that you aren't suppose to feed. We brought them carrots in my youth.

Morality didn't exist before Christianity/Judaism?

Of course not. They invented it. Just like how Jesus makes electricity and dinosaurs are a fabrication of the heathens.

How dare you, you Islamophobic piece of shit. Muslims are under siege from human garbage like you.

Last week I was driving down Kimberly Road in Bettendorf and I spied a beautiful Muslim woman of color. She had on a hijab, a miniskirt, and a great pair of Christian Louboutin spike heels. Unfortunately she had stepped on a sewer grate and the heel of her left shoe had become damaged. I pulled over and asked if I could be of assistance. After all, with my 173 IQ I figured I could probably help her out.

She was crying and I comforted her. I advised her that it would be no problem for me to repair the shoe as I had minored in cobbling when I was in college. I went back to my car to get my tools. The moment I stepped away a Volkswagen pulled up next to her and four Republicans wearing full SS uniforms leapt out and began yelling racial slurs and attempting to pull her hijab. I sprinted back to her and suddenly the four scumbags weren't so brave. I'm 6'1" tall, 250 lbs. with a barrel chest and to top it off I was carrying a 24" cast iron shoe stand anvil. The Republicans ran away like the vermin they are. But I got their license plate and called the local mosque to report it to the Imam.

We discussed Beyonce's twins while I repaired the Louboutin. When I was finished it was an honor to slip it back on this classy lady's foot.
