   The litmus test of fascism is whether it persecutes and imprisons   
   people who refuse to take weapons and rifles and go to a war that   
   did not make any sense to them. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses.   
      
   Church priests of the State religion for ages blessed swords and   
   rifles, cannons and now rocket launchers and missiles, and send   
   a Catholic to kill a Catholic, a Protestant to kill a Protestant,   
   and an Orthodox Christian to kill an Orthodox Christian.   
      
   Recent missile launched against a resident block in Dnipro shows   
   all fragility of our civilisation: little people who had no political   
   influence had their life achievements reduced to zero in a second,   
   all they worked, struggled, denied their need and saved for their entire life.   
   Many have additionally lost their very lives.   
      
   If the State religion had the power to get anyone into Heaven or   
   Purgatory by the power of ministering sacraments, all powerful   
   tsars would be in Heaven by now, accompanied by Mr. Adolph   
   Hitler and Mr. Benito Mussolini, who also had concordate contracts   
   with the church and were great defenders of the traditional values   
   as well.   
      
   Even now, in my country the State religion serves mass for the   
   WW2 Nazi collaborator Dr. Ante Pavelić. That is obvious that   
   they do not serve mass for Serbs he executed in the concentration   
   camp Jasenovac, for this Catholic church prays masses only for   
   Catholics, and almost exclusively for their own nation.   
      
   This is obviously wrong, but is Russian patriarch Kiril anything   
   more godlike, Christlike, and impartial to nationality and religion   
   as apostle Peter who said:   
      
   Acts 10:34   
   34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does   
   not show favoritism, 35 but welcomes those from every nation who   
   fear Him and do what is right.   
      
   Pastor Kiril says: "God is with Russia. West is godless!"   
      
   Ukrainians say: "God is with Ukraine. Russians will go to Hell."   
      
   Well, they can't both be right at the same time.   
      
   And good intentions lead to Hell.   
      
   Peter would have said that Ukrainians and Russians who fear God   
   and do what is right will be welcomed to Heaven.   
      
   But destroying a civilian infrastructure with a missile and killing   
   and wounding hundred of peaceful citizens in their homes shows   
   that someone did not fear God and shed innocent blood.   
      
   in the LORD   
   Amen
