Christianity under Atheism in Romania (2 of 3)

Atheism per se creates a moral vacuum where everyone can behave like Satan himself.


The most oppressive and human-killing regime's have been when Atheists have taken over governments. Nevertheless, atheists claim that people of faith are to blame for mass amounts of people's lives being taken. This is not based on facts. In the past century, Atheism forced its beliefs on people of faith or simply slaughtered hundreds of millions of them.

Persecution of Christians in Atheist Soviet Union:
The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an ideological objective the elimination of religion. Toward that end, the Communist regime confiscated church property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in the schools. The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labor camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.

The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an ideological objective the elimination of religion. Toward that end, the Communist regime confiscated church property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in the schools.

Actions against Orthodox priests and believers along with execution included torture being sent to prison camps, labour camps or mental hospitals. Christians were also subjected to psychological punishment or torture and mind control experimentation in order to force them give up their religious convictions.

Many Christian believers in the Soviet Union were imprisoned for no other reason than believing in God. Many have recently been canonized as saints following their death at the hands of Soviet authorities.

An intense ideological anti-Christian campaign was carried out throughout the history of the Soviet Union. An extensive education and propaganda campaign was undertaken to convince people, especially the children and youth, not to become believers. The role of the Christian religion and the Church was painted in black colors in school textbooks

School students were encouraged to taunt and use peer pressure against classmates wearing crosses or otherwise professing their faith. In the 1920s there were many "anti-God" publications and social clubs sponsored by the government, most notably the scathingly satirical "Godless at the Workbench" (безбожник).

Criticism of atheism in the Soviet Union was strictly forbidden and could lead to imprisonment. Anti-religious propaganda was openly sponsored and encouraged by the government, which the Church was not given an opportunity to publicly respond to. The government youth organization, the Komsomol, encouraged its members to vandalize Orthodox Churches and harass worshippers. Source: Википедия

Hitler is not even being considered here. Under Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev,Mao, Pol Pot, Hoxha etc. - all atheists, there were more mass killings than all religious wars combined. Guinness is a well -respected source, but there are many others.

i live in Romania, and some of what is said above is true, but there are many lies, like that you weren't allowed to have a bible, or that you were put in prison if you said you were Christian.

Me and my family suffered greatly under the communist regime here in Romania, and for some idiot to use our suffering and spin it in a lie to advance his idiotic propaganda, shows how immoral one can be.

i am talking here about the people in the video and the person how wrote the title for this video.

You forget the fact that after Nazi Germany invaded Russia, the numbers went up again, in order to bolster the sence of loyalty to the party.

[GrassyKnollTrolls]

@TheThordir , "marxism and orthodox christianity go hand in hand." LMAO! That may be the stupidest thing I've read all mo.

You're 22, play vid games, & live in the west. Why are u defending Communism w/ bogus info? They weren't atheists, but luciferians. Have u read Morals & Dogma? Do u know of freemasonry &kabbalah? The same gang now runs Israel. They have 400 H-bombs, won't allow inspections, & have stolen all top secret docs from the USA. U never hear it cuz they own all media.

[GrassyKnollTrolls]

@bantumwt , you're totally correct. Actually the number is now at 147 MILLION Christiansmurdered during peace-time in the 1st 25 yrs of Communism. Thats not even counting the 60+ million killed in China. All media is owned by jews. Jews hate christians. Even today they harrass/spit on priests.

What is sad is they've been on a 30 yr media campaign to promote being an atheist as something cool & smart. Pathetic so many buy the con.

[TheDarkLordLucifer]

Symbols of dark chaos are blazing again. Showing us all a new way to follow. The army of demons empowered by revenge. The marks of lies engraved on the church. Created by the god of false love. Demons tear through holy hypocrisy. The empty cowards are now dead. Swiftly defeated by the swords of hell. For those who foolishly adored worthless holiness. Now are enslaved by sadness, melancholy and malice. We are true to Satanic wisdom. As our black witchery will spread eternally.

@TheThordir " In the period between 1927 and 1940, the number of Orthodox Churches in the Russian Republic fell from 29,584 to less than 500. Between 1917 and 1935, 130,000 Orthodox priests were arrested. Of these, 95,000 were put to death."

[bantumwt]

@TheThordir Do you realize that a huge percentage of Russian Orthodox priests, perhaps 90%, were executed between 1918 and WWII?

@bantumwt

Religion was a rival for the dogma of Communism. But only if the priests didn't whore themselves to the c. system, and weren't loyal to the old one.
