Racism is here!!!????

                The three of us were invited to visit a family whom Anneke ministered to while she was pregnant. They are unbelievers. There was another family invited. We were half the age of those families present. The families are Ukrainian citizens but consider themselves Russians and Russian Orthodox as far as their religious beliefs. We started talking about history and the visit turned to be a 5 hour heated debate with an extreme racist bent. I was shocked! They desired for the Russian empire to be back and one of the engines for achieving it would be the Russian Orthodox Church. I have heard of it before but I have never seen it face to face, it was ugly. But it gave us an insight as to what we can expect as far as the opposition from the Russian Orthodox Church. Russia is trying to create a strong spirit chauvinism and it uses the Russian Orthodox Church as a tool for it. The latter one is being very aggressive as they fight for the control over the person, and once they have it they will fight in order to maintain it. It was an eye opener to me to see that there is a tremendous, purposefully placed political and religious mechanism, designed for expanding Russia’s geopolitical control.
