[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't think the absolutist rulers of Czarist Russia used religion for cynical political purposes?[/quote] Maybe they did but probably not with as much strategic cunning as Putin who is exploiting religion to shore up support for his war in Ukraine … The Russian Orthodox leader is an increasingly ardent supporter for the war, while most mainstream Christian leaders are ardent supporters of St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas’ Just War Theory. JWT assumes it is morally wrong for Christian. Actions to go to war unless for self defense purposes and only if civilian deaths and harms are minimized. This was a voluntary war: a land grab where hundreds of thousands of civilians experienced great harms, such as mass death, torture, and unnecessary destruction of schools, hospitals and residential apartments.
